| Charlie Haden RIP Charlie Haden is well represented in my collection on ECM records, as well as CD's. I'll play them in remembrance of a most creative musician.Enjoy the music. | |
| Happy Birthday Lee Morgan Strateahed, Miles must have been one of the most egotistical musicians who ever lived; especially in his latter years. I saw him on DVD looking like a genie out of a bottle, in his Arabian Nights outfit, and although the musicians with him were so... | |
| Happy Birthday Lee Morgan In my opinion, Lee Morgan was the best ever on trumpet. Although that's highly subjective, there are many others with the same opinion.If I were to reccomend tunes by him, the list would be as long as your arm; consequently, I'm just going to ment... | |
| On the hunt for best phono cable under $1k Wires from the cartridge that plug into the preamp is the only way to go if you're talking about "phono cable"; that's all I know. Yes, I use ultra high quality Cardas wire. Maybe you should clarify? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you hit upon my favorite tune by my favorite male vocalist, his songs come to life; sometimes they're like slices of my life, and at other times they bring back memories. One of his funniest tunes was "Street Hustlers Blues"; that corner he s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I heard an hour long casual interview of Billy Eckstine, and it was the most impressive interview I've ever heard. I never thought about a musicians education, or ability to utilize the English Language in order to express themselves; but Mr. Ecks... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Nica's" book had in it, the best jazz musicians who ever were or ever will be. I don't know why, I don't know why, I don't know why; but I do know that was no typographical error.When my computer went on the blink, someone decided to replace... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Unfortunately, the best "Silver's" music you will ever hear are on "You tube". That's because he couldn't take extended solos on his records because of time limitations. His solos on this "Senor Blues", are much longer than on the record.He was on... | |

| Jazz for aficionados "Carmen Jones": I had recently befriended a young soldier who was about the same age as me, and we decided to see the movie "Carmen Jones". When we got to the theater, standing out front, was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen; she w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I never took the the time to estimate "Regina Carter" one way or the other, but for now, she's in the spotlight for me. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I've done this a number of times, and added considerably to my collection by doing so. Occasionally, I've added brand new musicians, but primarily it was old musicians who I thought, I already had their greatest recordings.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I can feel Horace Silver's presence in this music, that's just how much of a difference, a great leader makes in the music. Over the years, I have discovered there are great leaders, and great sidemen; when a great "sideman" makes a record ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I thought long and hard, no I don't remember any fat people, even as much as they ate then; while food was the biggest thing in life in the country, there was always a lot of work to be done. Our existence is so much easier now, even if it is... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No, I never heard of the "Carolina Chocolate Drops" until you mentioned them, but they make my kind of music. After going to "You tube" I got an obsession to go south and look for a "Country Girl". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVIaiADsyYoThey w... |
