Thanks acman, I find Haden to be very expressive and emotional in his playing, "brings both Joy and Sadness".  I have "Missouri Sky" but haven't listened to it in far too long.

Speaking of piano players, here's one of my favorites for whom I've not seen much discussion since joining this merry band of jazz fans.  This is one of his more popular albums, for good reason -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD5_q3I9L_Q&list... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Roger, "What exactly is A-B-A?"I've seen multiple comparisons where some/many were prepared to offer conclusions after a single switch from an original component (A) to something different (B).  For several reasons I don't feel that is meaningful ...

Very interesting frog.  For all my mentioned interest in Satchmo I don't recall ever hearing him perform with Kaye.  The surprise there is my dad (who introduced me to Armstrong when I was very young for any newbies here) was also a big fan of Red...

dumbeat, the "father", Jud, may not have left proper documentation, but there is service from someone closely associated with him.  Rich Brkich at Signature Sound was a Joule-Electra dealer and did repairs for them.  He continues to offer that ser...

Dunlavy SC-IVas speaker grill reupholstering
I fully agree on the color choice.  I had a pair of Duntech Princess (older sibling to the SC-IV) with white oak cabinets and a very light silver/gray grill cloth.  They were much less obtrusive visually than the common black cloth.  Oh yes, I als...

Roger, lots of good information as well as memories here.  So much in fact it is hard to keep up!As one of the older audio hobbyists here I too remember these names from the past.  I recall a visit from William Z Johnson at a local dealer to set u...

Hey frog, as you may guess from my past comments, I agree about drum solos.  There are many drummers I enjoy for their backbone support of the tune, but extended solos seldom "connect" for me.  Morello was a major exception.  To my uneducated ear ...
