And now for something completely different.  A heavy drummer with a funk groove.  Or was that a funky drummer with a heavy groove?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N_SqtFerjghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N_SqtFerjgFirst time I saw Cobham was in ... 
Suggestion for a 78rpm cartridge/ stylus?
uber, the only 78s I have are a concert album by Louie Armstrong and the All Stars from my dad so I didn't want to spend much money.I found an old Empire cartridge in my parts box and bought a new 78 stylus.  My line stage has a mono switch so I t...

Silver: always funky and nearly always makes me feel good.I don't hear any piano "pounding" here -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boVaez6rVNA

frog, this was a rare time where I see things differently than you do.  I certainly agree about drummers, or any musician for that manner, "fitting" in with a group style-wise.  But your "It is also an obvious generational thing." does not always ...

pjw, Blakey certainly rates high on my list as well.  I'd not heard that track before but it reminded me of this classic -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHKyVJ5YfNUo10, you had better judgement than I did.  I've told this story before but don't r...

pjw, realizing YOU didn't say Morello was best, only reported that he was a poll winner, I will say he is overall my favorite drummer.  That's different than being "best".  I don't have the musical knowledge to rank drummers.  But there are severa...

o10, from your story of riding the train to Detroit to hear Aretha I estimate that was around 1964.  When visiting there did you ever go to the Minor Key?I believe I mentioned it when I first began posting here.  It was a great jazz club that was ...

mary_jo, I'll add my thanks for the Beth Hart introduction.  I'd not heard of her.  Even before reading any of the comments in that link I thought of Janis.  I certainly would not consider her (either one of them, although I'm much more familiar w...

schubert, thanks for those. I believe I have family ties to Poland, although Ancestry shows Russia in some links. I suspect when my great-grandfather lived there (1800s) the boundary may have shifted with some regularity. And it does not even agre...

Yet another "Take Five".  This time with Morello outside the Brubeck Quarter.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-744pFNJkUg

o10, I don't consider the Messengers so much as a group, but more as Blakey's Jazz School.  It may be that more top musicians came through that "school" than any other.  So it is impossible for me to pick a single favorite.  Interesting question t... 
A note from Magnepan about the "30.7 for Condos" tour
josh, as I mentioned on another site, I wish Wendell hadn't identified this as "for condos".  The designation condo has nothing to do with room size, it is a type of ownership for a residence.  It might have been best for him to come out and say "...

Frog, while "cool jazz" has been an accepted term for some time, more recently I suspect it causes confusion.  A new subdivision emerged some years ago, "smooth jazz", and I fear cool jazz gets mixed up with that by those only looking at the broad...
