Acman3:I have Ravi Coltrane's 'Moving Pictures'. I will have have to 'review it'. Have not listened to it in a while.I see where 'these sellers' have gotten their paws on two of the leaning house Ivery recordings. I will order them nevertheless. (... 
Why does most new music suck?
*****I do play music and spend a fair amout of time in the recording studio so I'm really critical of the MP3 earbud "standard". I will say that most "kids" don't know what good sound is. Whenever they hear a good two channel system they are amaze...

Mingus & Dee Dee, I have both of them, and if they were on LP, they would already be worn out. I think Milestones will be a favorite also.I have always considered 'Oh Yeah" and 'At Antibes' my favorite mingus. But 'Ah Um' is moving up fast.Cheers

O-10,I don't watch or listen to youtube that much, because it's easy to confuse the total visual / audio experience with just the music. If I buy the CD, there will be no pictures of beautiful women and scenery. Then, often times, the music cannot...

Mel Torme tune was good. Who were the backup singers? He is not my cup of tea, but I did like 'coming home'.Caravan was good also. Their voices just sounded a little too 'light' for the tune. I like them better in the link below. Miss Janice has n...

In a music sense, POP does not mean popular. As pertains to music, it's the name of a genre of music. All music is POPULAR to some extent.Cheers
