o10, many great albums on your list, even if several of them are repeats. ;^)And while I don't feel qualified to identify a "X best list", I'll further admit my own personal favorites could change from one day to the next.  How's that for confusin...

"stop and think people".  Very good advice rok, which you might take yourself.Who stated that KOB and SE were the two best jazz albums in creation? I certainly didn't, and I don't believe o10 did either.My understanding was this discussion debated...

o10, how did you think I didn’t believe SE was well received? Read my post again, I said "but I can believe SE was very well received."I do own, appreciate, and enjoy the album. But it seems we hold different perspectives over whether SE or KOB is...

New Technics SL1200gr, anyone taken the leap.
knollbrent, hope you will report back once you've had the JLTi in your system awhile.  I bought an early version, then added a regulated outboard power supply before they began offering that as an option.That was a few years ago and I continue to ...

o10, "we have so many gems in our collections that we forget to play some of them until reminded".  I agree.  And that is a reason I'm beginning to cull my entire music collection.  But for me that exercise relates to my age.  I really can't imagi...

o10, nice addition.  I don't have anything else by Lande but have enjoyed this one for years.

rok, I expect that meant Juilliard students are expected to study classical composers, not Monk. ;^)acman, thanks for the additions. I almost included something from Ellis but decided I’d offered enough. But also to paraphrase that Mexican beer (c...

nsp, as mentioned I'm not a huge big band fan, but maybe I can offer a few samples outside the more popular/obvious choices -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2nbtYg8YGAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXJ5Qnzep9khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M2A...
