| Cassette Deck?? I was smart enough to buy spare capstan belts, but this is one I didn't know existed; it's called a mode belt, and it's a "doozy" to replace. Since it's about the size of a large "O" ring, I'm going to try for a match; if I'm successful, I can rej... | |
| Underrated jazz greats Bobby Timmons was one of the all time greats. His work with Blakey and the Messengers is unforgettable, also with Cannonball and Nat Adderly. To me, he was the personification of "soul". | |

| Art Blakey, king of the drums. Charles1dad, I like Miles, I have many of his records and I can empathize with your statement. As a matter of fact I have given your statement so much consideration that this week will be devoted to comparing the two between the time period you st... | |
| What does it take to have a revealing system? A lot of money. | |
| Art Blakey, king of the drums. Cflux, you've compared Lee Morgan to my other favorites; this proves you are a true connoisseur of jazz trumpet.As great as Miles, Clifford, and Donald Byrd were; Lee Morgan soars like an eagle above them on "Search for the New Land". While his ma... | |
