Rok, I have discovered some music that's new to me, it's Dorothy's harp.                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J78y1zpHhMcI have never before seen or heard of this album, which is rather strange since I'm a Dorothy Ashby fan from way ...

Unfortunately I kind of understand what you mean; I'm looking at two tall stacks of records at this very moment, the reason they're stacked in a wrong manner is because I ran out of room, and don't know what to do with them. I understand exactly ...

Santana and "Abraxas" took over the world of music in 1970; this music could be heard everywhere I went; jazz, rock, blues establishments, no matter what the dominant genre of music in that particular lounge, something from "Abraxas" was on the ju...

I've got some really good earphones, not the kind I assume someone would buy for the computer,  that  sound so much better than cheap speakers, is the reason I mention this. If you have some good earphones gathering dust, try hooking them up to y...

Frogman, although I've heard Miles mention "In a Silent Way", it was one of his albums that eluded me. That album was released at about the same time I saw Miles live in Chicago. This wasn't in a club setting, but in a huge auditorium, and somebo...

"Elegant People" by Weather Report is most certainly one of my favorite cuts of that era, and genre.              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThF63iql478Enjoy the music.

Here's "Weather Report" live.            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bIk1Wl21YkHere's "Black Market" by weather report; that cover looks just like a market place in Haiti. There is no way you can believe someplace as close as Haiti could be...

Acman, now it's coming back to me; to the uninitiated, that sounds like noise, but, if you have special musical receptors in your brain that are tuned to "Fusion", it's music from another planet.Somehow, that music was always best live with black ...

Frogman, are you ready to go into fusion in depth; I mean to cover it to your hearts content, rather than just skim over it?Enjoy the music.

Frogman, the first time I heard Grant Green was in 58 before he became a professional, which means I heard him far beyond his discography, that means I'm very well acquainted with just about everything about his music. Review by Stephen Thomas Er...

Ghosthouse, while I didn't like the Zappa band, I found another cut by "Sugercane" that I did like;            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5XAAB_kGR8Enjoy the music.

Many times when discussing an era of music in the past, most of the participants in that discussion are unable to put themselves back into that time frame; who were your friends, what kind of clothes did you wear, since you were probably into "Ste...

I just received The Grant Green and Sonny Clark Quartets, here's the scoop; they made real good music, but not near the level I have been accustomed from by either artist. I'm glad I bought the music, but I didn't hear the Grant Green I'm so fami...

Ghosthouse, Although I never heard of "Sugar Cane Harris", he will be added to my collection; that guy is fantastic, I listened to the whole 40 minutes. If I'm lucky enough to find an LP he'll be added, but you say he's not on CD?Are there new LP...
