Allow me to tie together two strings mentioned a few times recently - Desmond and bari-sax, in this case my man Mulligan.  This album I have:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuFG5O8zW3QBut not this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHSoU4PF0OAAnd...

o10, you posted the exact Giuffre track that lead me to his music, and that number remains my favorite decades later.You will certainly remember that I've commented on and posted links to performances from "Jazz on a Summer's Day" several times.  ...

mary jo/others, sorry, my mistake.While the "California Concerts" is a great album, it did not include Baker and I should not have suggested it. This is an example of the Mulligan/Baker collaboration I had in mind so give it a try -https://www.you...

mary jo, you may be a newbie but you show very good taste in my opinion, lots of classic and outstanding albums there.Since you mention Chet Baker more than other musician let me suggest this album.  Hard to believe it was done in 1955.  It has be...

I hesitate to backtrack like this, but being the foolish person I can be sometimes I’ll go ahead.o10, you chided readers for not commenting on your initial 1/18 "hard bop" comments and selections. Well, I enjoyed those but was confused by your sug...

OK, recently, if not on this page, we had requests for new/current albums.  I admit to not owning any of these but pass along this list in the hopes others may find something of interest here.  It comes from my local, college FM jazz station.  The...

One further thought on "Mosaic", except this time the tune, not the label.Any person who considers themself a jazz aficionado should be able to identify this group in just a few seconds, if not the tune itself. It came on my FM jazz station as I w...

Regarding Mosaic, as well as some other reissue companies, I tend to agree with o10.  I have a few of the Mosaic LP box sets and I typically don't enjoy hearing 2-3 takes of one song in succession.  That may be OK for one listen to pick out the di... 
R.E. Designs LNPA-150
I assume you know Dan passed away a few years ago so there is no support for the RE Designs products.  I'm not aware that he made schematics available.All this is too bad, they are great amps.  I owned a pair for a few years.

rok, many thanks for clearing that up.  I must have missed your original comment so obviously attributed it to o10.  Anyway, the air is now clear so I trust all are happy.  Regarding Parker, for anyone who may not have many of his recordings (or n...

o10, we seem to be at a misunderstanding so I'll hope to clear the air before it continues any further."I never said her rough life helped her."  And I wasn't suggesting you did say that.  But I was reacting to your comment, "What upset me was tha...

rok, I was driving to an audio club gathering Sunday morning when I heard "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" on my favored FM jazz station on the car radio and thought I should post a link later as it seemed to fit so well with recent discussions here.  But I ... 
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
If I understand this correctly I'm surprised by the confusion for both Ralph and Peter who I know to be very knowledgable designers/manufacturers.Ralph, why not buy a SP10R motor unit, or were you hoping to buy the motor unit and new plinth but wi... 
Tube tester recommendation!
I think it may depend on which tube components you own and how many tubes.If you have a preamp/line stage which doesn't stress tubes or possibly a D/A converter or other component with on 1-2 tubes then sending them off to be checked should not be...

frog, don't remember ever seeing Krall's legs, but if skinny, I agree.  We all have standards for personal taste (nothing wrong with that) and I prefer at least gentle curves."Easy on the eyes" became a favorite expression long ago.  At a wedding ...
