The Evolution of Modern Jazz
West coast jazz, WCJ from here on out; is rapidly vanishing. The old records in my collection are out of print. Since it wasn't a radical departure from mainstream jazz like "fusion" was, most did not recognize it as a separate genre. I've include...

Foster, I forgot to mention, we're still into hard bop. Since west coast and hard bop are in the same time frame, we'll pursue them on parallel tracks. 
The Evolution of Modern Jazz
Foster, west coast jazz is taking me on a stroll down memory lane. Not only was west coast cool, but the people who liked it; were the coolest and "hipest" I ever met. Not the fake "wannabe", but cool to the bone; like they were born genetically "...

Albertporter, I broke my own rule for this thread; "Why say it with words when you can say it with music". I give you "Speak Low" from "Sonny's Crib".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8PcFSMYUqg&feature=related 
The Evolution of Modern Jazz
At no time in history have we had a jazz explosion like the decade 59 through 69. While "hard bop" was progressing, another genre was cooking; "West Coast jazz", and it was cool. I went to a movie with a sound track so gripping, that I became engr...

Albertporter, I liked that. Sonny Clark and Jackie Mac sound good together. Do you have "Sonny's Crib"? It's my best CD by Sonny, I think you will like it.

Qdrone, I can't find anything. Could you email me?

Every time I hear Grant Green, I almost break out in tears. He died of a heart attack in 79 because he went on the road against his doctors orders because he needed the money.If his body of works that was done at Blue Note in the early 60's had be...

Let me explain how I think this discussion should proceed. Now, we are in a time frame from late 50's to very early 70's. "Any" good jazz recorded within that time frame is ripe for discussion, including vocals.Anita O'Day is one jazzy lady who I ...

Qdrone, I don't know the answer to your question, but we can explore your post as a group when we get there. Since fusion came after "hard bop", that will be the next time phase; but we still have another genre to explore in this time frame.

I have Primaluna 6 monoblocks with NOS tubes except for the12ax7's which were as good as it gets, and I'm in heaven. 
The Evolution of Modern Jazz
Foster, the decade from roughly 59 to 69 was equivalent to a hydrogen "jazz" bomb explosion. There was so much "connoisseur" jazz created that I'm still making new discoveries. Although we're into hard bop, there was another genre on a parallel ti...

man, this is so fantastic; Lee Morgan is my favorite on trumpet. "Dat Dere" piano player is too tough, and Blakey, Mr. "Thunderdrums" makes it all come alive. This is almost as good as being there."Night In Tunisia" by Lee Morgan is a version with... 
Cassette Deck??
How many of those decks can you still get parts for. I don't believe the Revox uses belts, and the way it's built will keep it in spec for a long time. Can anyone comment on the Revox?

The PV-10 can be taken to a much higher level with NOS tubes. I bought RCA 12au7 from Brent Jesse. For NOS tubes, you can't buy them anywhere; but only from someone who comes highly recommended. The phono uses 12ax7, and I don't use that.
