| Big Bass Drum Jazz I agree with Chazzbo entirely. His picks would be mine up and down. Joey Barron is my faovrite young(ish) Jazz trap player, although Lewis Nash is on his ass. My recommendation for a great example of Joey Barron's playing, particularly his bass dr... | |
| Under Appreciated Jazz Piano Players UNDER appreciated...right?Dorothy Donegan - One of the few contemporaries of Tatum that had comparable chops...really! She was also a fantastic entertainer with an extraordinary ability to mimic jazz vocalists of various eras. Check out any of her... | |
| Good Baritone Sax Recording? Hamiett Bluiett's bari work with World Sax is great stuff. "Revue", "Plays Duke Ellington" and "Rhythm and Blues" are particular favorites. He is the anchor of this unit and the reason it swings so hard. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Roland Alexander - Pleasure Bent: Hard bop saxophonist contemporary of Coltrane with a sweet middle register and a good head for changes.Antibalas - Who Is This America: Fela-flavored Afro-funk via Brooklyn. Great horn driven booty shakin' music.J... | |

| Revel GEM or Wilson Cub 2 ? You would very likely enjoy the Wilson Duette very much. It is significantly more dynamically nimble, articulate through the midrange, and tonally convincing at the frequency extremes than the Cubs. Expensive? Yup, but very, very tasty. | |
| your favorite michael brecker recording? I thought his first recording under his own name was absolutely beautiful. I played it twice the week he died and I'm not ashamed to say that it brought copious tears to my eyes. I saw him perform some of this music live at the Village Vanguard in... | |
| Need new speakers I am an ardent advocate for Vandersteen 1Cs because I think they are among the best bargains in speakers today. They have a sophisticated but unfussy sound that makes them suitable for all music. My wife has a pair that plays her favorite vocal an... | |
| Amps for WP7 Four or so years ago I went on a quest to determine the most suitable amplifier for the pair of WP7s that I had just purchased. One counter intuitive observation was that the power rating of the tube amplifiers in my survey often did not correlate... | |
| Wilson watt puppy 6 vs. Sophia? Sonic preferences aside, the Sophias are the more forgiving speaker and, therefore, the easier to incorporate into a variety of systems. I've heard them sound superb with a Naim integrated amp and Rega Planet CD player, a system that would be seri... | |
| Martin Logan SL3 missing soundstage Hi Carloscotland,First switch the polarity of the speaker cable leads for one speaker (i.e. black to red, red to black), and listen for restoration of the soundstage. This will switch the relative phase of the loudspeakers. If things improve, I wo... | |
| Martin Logan SL3 missing soundstage I would suggest playing with the relative and absolute phasing of the speakers by swithching the leads from the speaker wires accordingly. I've experienced the zero soundstage phenomenon with multiple systems and found this to solve the problem on... | |
| Anybody play any musical instruments........... I've played hand drums for about 30 years. Did some professional work before my kids came along but haven't done any since. I play a little with friends now and then.Like several previous contributors I feel that my experience with drums has stron... | |
| David Sanborn's "Night Music" I think this show is a cultural landmark. These episodes were like a set of snapshots of our world musical culture in the late 20th century. I would dearly love to get them on DVD. |
