Rok, I don't know if anyone can appreciate Monk anytime and every time. I recall going to an all night grill between midnight and daylight where we spiked our coffee, and they had a lot of Monk on the juke box; for whatever reason, me and everyone...

Frogman, "He is a classically trained flutist and is widely recognized as one of the very best, certainly the best living, flute "doublers".A "doubler" with jazz talent, that's super impressive, and it explains why we can't get enough of his flute...

Frogman, here's an outstanding artist you should be familiar with who no one has mentioned. "Desert Lady" is the CD I've chosen to illustrate his talents. The Lew Tabackin quartet on this CD features: Hank Jones, piano; Dave Holland, bass; and Vic...

The best way to listen is in total darkness, and not even know who you're hearing. When the program list is running the music, I have to identify everything by the sound and my knowledge of the music.When I heard this trumpet that stood out from a...

Rok, I could live without the commentary as well, but it's recorded on something I have. In regard to organizing, that's something I dread even attempting, let my heirs organize. Acman3, I sold some Cedar Walton LP's and a CD at what I thought was...

Rok, here's tune that was going strong at about the same time "Ode To Billy Joe" was hot, you might like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwvWKcNE0cIEnjoy the music. 
Coltrane
I saw Coltrane perform "My Favorite Things" with the same group you have on that record. To say it was an unforgettable night is an understatement.Enjoy the music.

Less McCann was a joy to behold; although I've had that album since about that time, this was the first time I saw a live performance, and I could feel the rapture he felt when he played.Enjoy the music.

Rok, "Besame Mucho" has special meaning for me, it brings back memories of Victoria Gomez in the 6th grade. I sat at the desk behind her, and those long braids that sometimes flowed across my desk. When I heard that song, it caused me to fantasize...

Rok, with a lineup like that, not only are we talking about beautiful vocals, but beautiful music to accompany a lovely lady with a seductive voice; I can just hear Toots harmonica on "Besame Mucho"; that's such an alluring song.

Although I'm not a religious person, I can feel the sadness, and the faith in this young lady's voice when she took the problem without a solution to "Jesus". Once she told Jesus, she knew everything was going to be all right. Every time I hear he...

Frogman, Stan Getz "Voyage" is so consistent, not a bad cut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k036P1jsdq4Here's a cut from "Focus", which is another one of my favorite Getz LP's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAyrdlUcZIwGetz had a long stellar care...

Rok, that's one of the most interesting CD's you've reviewed, it's on order.Enjoy the music.

Frogman, you brought up a very interesting point; as long as that LP has been in my collection, I didn't know who was on sax. While each time I heard it, I was quite impressed by the sax, I never bothered to find out who he was. Now that my entire...
