| Jazz for aficionados Yesterday I received The Three Sounds, 'Eight Classic Albums'. I had wondered if the Eight Classic Albums sets were a good deal. If this set is any indication, they are a great deal. I have listened to two, and the sound quality seems to be equa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ref: Lee Morgan, 'Live at the Lighthouse'. I don't have it, but I listened to a little online. I have no problem with it. He evolved or was trying to evolved. It was sort of different, but still good. But, I guess Coltrane gets everyone in the en... |
