Right frog, my comments were of a broader scope than just trios as pjw ask about.  I should have acknowledged that.

pjw, an interesting question and I'm surprised not to see any following comments:"I often wonder what the great trio's of the 50's and 60's would sound like using 21st century studio's, equipment, and engineers."No doubt there have been technical ...

mary_jo, thanks for adding the Melodious.An interesting thing.  While he most often recorded his own tunes, for me there is a special appreciation when he performs a song composed by someone else.  I think that may be, when it is a known melody su...

mary_jo, your Black Coffee link was a memory lane trip.  About the time I started college I joined the Columbia Record Club.  The promotion at that time provided maybe 8 LPs.  One I selected was Sarah's "After Hours" which included "Black Coffee"....

Hey frog, yes I certainly saw your answer to Children Song #1, so thanks for that.  I have "Crystal Silence" but have not listened to it in years* -- maybe that was the familiarity?  I need to check out your other references.  And thanks for the g...

Thanks pjw, I've read multiple references to Baker's interest in jazz but never followed through to find examples.But one question, why is it called the Ginger Baker Trio when there are 7 musicians? ;^)

frog, I had a problem loading YouTube links for awhile, so I was late listening to your Corea's Children's Songs post.  Do you know of anything else similar to #1?  It sounded familiar but I can't place it.It wouldn't be out of place in a French f...

I'm in a rut, more Mingus music.  But not by Mingus hisself.  This time by the Mingus Big Band, a tribute group.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxz9eZ1Aons 
Atma-sphere Updates
jtgofish, do you happen to have any distant relatives, possibly in Spain, who experienced failed encounters with windmills?  Did you inherit their attitudes?I can't otherwise understand your singular and unreasonable attacks on AtmaSphere.  Just m...

Did I miss it, or has there been no discussion of the new Coltrane album "Blue World"?  OK hard to say much until one hears it but I expected to find talk of great expectations. ;^)https://jazztimes.com/blog/previously-unreleased-john-coltrane-alb...

pjw, thanks for that addition.  I'd not heard it before.Like nearly everything, it's personal, and I enjoy Mulligan more.  But I still like Adams and appreciate his playing.  A great rendition there.

mary jo, if you are bothered by "a thin line between fiction and nonfiction", then I suggest you don't read Mingus' "Beneath the Underdog".  That certainly stretched credibility, but I found it highly entertaining none the less.So instead, maybe a... 
So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000?
Lew, there is a little confusion on JP's site but as I understand it, the 6042 replacement chip is for the SP-10 Mk3 and SP-15, not the SP-10 Mk 2.  It would be best for anyone interested to check with JP before ordering.

Hi all, I've been away from this site for some time.  That was a combination of health issues, preparation for a major move, and recently the move itself.  But today I noted frogman's name among the Recent Activity below the Topics list so decided... 
Tube amp mono block recomendations
I've heard some nice demos with Audio Note, but for your music preferences and the Tannoy speakers I'd suggest at least auditioning Manley amps.  They offer some of the best bass among tube amps and are a known match with Tannoys.  The Snappers me...
