Speaking of Lester, here's a Mingus minus Mingus tribute.  Then for fun, read some of the posted comments.    
Rtr speakers
We had a Fulton dealer in San Diego who was devoted to J Gordon Holt's reviews in Sterephile.  So when Gordon praised Fulton speakers they began featuring a J system.  Everything Fulton added, from the Gold speaker wire to the preamp were added to...

As a foursome they were well known back in the day.  Individually only Getz and Sims were popular and recorded often.  Steward and Chaloff not so much.

Speaking of Clark Terry, friends recommended his film, "Keep On Keepin' On".  They were somewhat familiar with Terry's work but had no idea how many musicians he influenced.  Unfortunately I've not been able to see it yet myself.  But this intervi...

acman, when I was in college back in the early '60s I saw the great documentary, "Jazz on a Summer's Day".  Giuffre, Brookmeyer, and Hall opened that with "The Train and the River".  That was my introduction to Guiffre and I thought it was really ...

mahgister, here is a trumpet/flugelhorn player not often mentioned, Art Farmer.  Nothing flashy, just great, melodic playing.  This is a favored album from my man Mulligan.    
First Watt SIT3 vs Dynakit ST35
rankaudio, no idea how long you've been in this hobby, but the ST-35 was a popular component back in the 1960s.  So little wonder there is scant mention of it today. Back at that time I built Dynakit ST -70, PAS-3 and FM-3, so I'm familiar with D... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, with all due respect, referencing a review by Hirsch? Back in the '70s a local high end dealer offered this on his reviews: "They usually offer two worthwhile bits of information.  The component dimensions tell if it will fit on your shelf...

"Had an amazing ability to gather top musicians and create great bands." That was often acknowledged. But still Frank may not have received enough credit for those he brought to play with him.  Great musicianship and they "fit" so well into his m...

voodoolounge, we should have ask that of Steve Allen when we had the chance. ;^) I've really enjoyed FZ since the first hearing.  Although I like his later albums better than the first few.   Many put him down, even rock fans, because they thoug... 
Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records
@antinn  Neil, thanks for the prompt reply.  However I don't see a left hand drop-down for the Table of Contents.  I use Safari on my iMac.  Left or right clicking does not bring it up.  Anyone else have this problem? Thanks  
Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records
@antinn  Neil, I'll add my thanks for this extraordinarily detailed effort.  Plus the fact that you and Bill are willing to offer it without charge. +++++ One suggestion if I might.  I only skimmed the document to see the content.  It would be h... 
Di I really need to clean my LP's?
mc, no offense but if you don't understand the various reasons for record cleaning and need to ask then possibly you are one of those who dosen't need to bother. However even a simple search for record cleaning will turn up hundreds of positive r... 
Manly Stingray....Opinions from any owners?
poke, I doubt you will be disappointed.  I have a pair of Snapper mono amps and have been pleased with the performance and service by Manley. I had the chance to tour the Manley facility twice with my (then) local audio club.  It was impressive w...
