Leersfool, here's a composer we could get into for weeks, and never get bored. I'm sure you're familiar with "Lalo Schifrin", he's best known for his TV and film scores, like "Mission Impossible" and "Bullitt". Here are a couple from the album "Bl...

This is the original "Killer Joe". As always, there are beautiful memories attached to my favorite tunes. This tune reminds me of a time when onions smelled like the finest French Perfume, but that's a long story; nevertheless, we played this tune...

Jimmy Smith, "Walking On The Wildside"! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy8dZEpEYrAHere's Jimmy live in 65. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gobKu4UlxSAEnjoy the music. 
Norah Jones
As a jazz "aficionado", I don't get the Norah Jones, Sarah Vaugn comparison? I like Norah Jones a lot, and I like Sarah Vaugn; but I just don't get comparing the two, and I'm positive no one can explain it.Enjoy the music.

Rok, there's nothing like a live organ, and I say "live" because not even the best rigs can duplicate the "howls and squeals" a Wild man on organ can generate.I've found the best examples I could find of "wild men", but they come up way short. Alt...

For me, it's a pleasant nostalgic album, and from what I remember, it was far more impressive to my friend who bought it; some people are more in tune to Miles music than others.Lovely pictures of sweet memories flowed past in my mind like a movie...

I enjoyed half of your change, the first half; that's Aretha's song. I really liked the way they dressed. Too many people look like "bums" wherever you go now. This is just the kind of change I was thinking about, but a little more in the jazz vei...

Zoot Coltrane! I'm still laughing! Jutta Hipp is a name I remember, and I don't know where from. Between Horace Silver and Bobby Timmons, there's no way I would make a choice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuM75h_vRC0This is what I found on "you ...

Rok, when I was in El. A. In the early 70's, there was incredible jazz in lounges everywhere. While Zoot Sims was famous, most of the musicians I saw were unknown, but could jam as well as the best in our collections. From what I could surmise, th... 
How to test balance between right and left channel
I've spent years trying to discover the source of this problem. Since everything but the room has been eliminated, that must be the problem. Although with left and right volume controls, the problem is easily corrected; like a foolish "audiophile"...

Rok, this is a diamond in the rough. It illustrates how fast Mingus learned because it's a long way from the polished diamond which is "Mingus Ah Um". He quickly discovered that he needed tailor made musicians, those are the ones who could hear an...

Rok, we agree on all counts. Although I have Mulligan on LP, I was wondering if it was the same one, and as far as I can tell it is. I hope the one I have is on CD, because the sonics are excellent. Since Amazon only gives "used" LP, I don't know;...

Rok, here's a real kicker by Gerry Mulligan's concert jazz band, these cats can blow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLaRvL1wEeQHere's Peggy Lee singing that same tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djXwNOrO5zgAnnie Ross is one jazzy chick, this...

I was listening to June Christy "Something Cool", and it hit me just how sad that song was; but before you can realize this, you must first picture the setting. It was at a time when people didn't have A/C at home, and the only places to cool off ...
