| Dave Brubeck Rok2id, a jazz collection of the artists you have, would be incomplete without Bobby Timmons. He did a lot of work with Blakey, and I'm sure you have tunes composed by him that were done by other artists. | |
| Dave Brubeck Just as my taste for what to have for lunch changes from one day to the next, so does my taste for what to hear change from one day to the next. Yesterday it was Dave Brubeck, today it's "Bobby Timmons". Since there are so few "jazz aficionado's" ... | |
| Dave Brubeck Rok2id, your astute knowledge of jazz has left me very little wiggle room to defend Dave Brubeck as a "giant of jazz". First, I based my statement primarily on Mr. Brubeck's longevity.In regard to his music as compared to what most "jazz aficionad... | |
| Dave Brubeck In the jazz world, where the most talented and famous musicians were users and abusers of drugs, Dave Brubeck was always a dignified gentleman. When I saw him, he had on a dark suit and tie. While he looked the personification of a "dignified gent... | |
| Dave Brubeck Many have tried, but no one can hit that drum solo like Joe Morello. We were both just beginning our adult lives at the same time, I was in the USAF when it came out. | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... There are many excellent ways to do this, and I'm sure all have given you good advice. After I transferred my LP's to digital, I discovered the only short coming was in my analog rig. After I upgraded the cartridge I decided to do it all over agai... | |

| Intoxicating music John Abercrombie's "Timeless" took me to the blue frozen mists of "The misty mid region of Weir". I'm still perusing Phillip Glass and Mike Oldfield, of "Tubular Bells" fame.I had flashbacks of "head shops" when I heard "In-Gadda-Da-Vida". Those w... | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear While I chose ARC, ARC don't got "soul". CJ preamps got "soul", could anyone elaborate on other preamps. | |
| It's All in Your Head I've known a number of professional Jazz and Blues musicians, none of which had an "audiophile" system. John Lee Hooker could certainly afford one before he died. However, I've been told that Classical musicians have audiophile systems; you can ma... | |
| Old TT vs New TT: Rebuilt Dual 701 or Rega RP3 This kit consists of high quality Cardas Wire that replaces both the internal and external cable. The result is a single piece of wire from the cartridge to the male RCA's that plug into the preamp. The improvement on my Rega was dazzling.While th... | |
