| Jazz for aficionados Acman3:I was just kidding about the thread hijack thingy. Just messin' with the Frogman. After all, I am the Last person on this site to complain about hijacking a thread. I used to do it all the time. But only to those that needed to be hijacked.... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Today's Playlist:Walter Davis Jr.(piano) -- Davis Cupw/ Jackie McLean / Donald Byrd / Sam Jones / Art TaylorStraight-Ahead, Hard Bop, Blue Note Session. Some critics say one of the best ever! All tunes written by Davis. Great supporting cast. Very... | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK-3490 Amplifier Les Creative Edge:Great detailed review. Thanks for doing it. I own two of these, three if you count the 3480. The 3480 is the same amp with different face plate and less features. I use mine just for 2-channel music. CD and FM tuner only. So I ca... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rknight:Folks don't wade thru Braxton's mind, they go via 4 wheel drive hummer!! :) Otherwise you might end up like the guys in the old Tarzan movies, up to your neck in quicksand. Good Luck!Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman:"Notice how they both approach it from below which gives certain sung notes an ever so slightly flat intonation until they are brought up to the pitch center; gives the singing a subtle tension-and-release quality that is very expressive."... | |

| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? Mapman I don't doubt that a lot of 'dark side' stuff will survive. It will depend on how much MONEY can be made off of it. That's the key.Cheers | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? The same, or worst conditions, were experienced by, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Louis Arstrong, Lester Young.... shall I go on? You get my point.And 'conditions' don't apply to the guys into metal and other such garbage.Cheers | |
