Ghosthouse, St. Louis has a fantastic art museum; when I took my son, (who was a little tyke at the time) to infuse some culture in the kid, I got lost in the paintings, and almost lost my little tyke. (The way the guards acted, those paintings mu...

Ghosthouse, at last, something I don't have to "pontificate" over; plain and simple; I like it and what "all" of the artists are doing as well; Michael Brecker-Tales From The Hudson -African Skies.Brecker left out his "noodling", and he's blowing ...

Ghosthouse, I noticed you didn't mention what you thought about those two Mingus cuts. They both contain some fantastic jazz, and I have come to the conclusion that you didn't hear it.I don't think it's necessary to make an effort to hear and lis...

Ghosthouse, you've got one person to please, and that's you. Nobody is going to get me to learn to appreciate raw oysters, I don't care how good they are.There is such a thing as "growing" into a new genre of music when another Aficionado is poin...

Ghosthouse, when I went to the record store, it was never about "West Coast" or "East Coast", it was just about the name of the album and who the artists were. Now that I'm trying to communicate with you, in order to help your collection, I'm say...

Here's Jeru again as Miles called him;        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hi6n03cjNkThe West Coast was definitely more laid back than what we have been featuring. Try this one for size and tell me what you think? In general, do you like We...

Since my purpose is to discover what a new aficionado likes, I am never offended; you still have two more West Coast tracks to judge.
