| Being alone with your music I suppose it’s a generational thing-- listening to music as a kid in bed with a radio. It seemed so magical at the time. And I guess it still is, otherwise why would we spend the effort, time and expense on this "hobby". I put it in quotes becaus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos ’Fusion’ is not my thing I actually own very few Fusion CDs. The difference I find with McLaughlin is his distinctive compositional sense which I very much happen to enjoy. If you like that track "Django" , then perhaps you will ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 I haven't owned "Electric Guitarist" or "Electric Dreams" since I got rid of all my vinyl in the early 90's. I think it's time to bring them back into the collection! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim The one track off Santana’s "Welcome" : "Flame Sky" , the link to which I’ve already posted. Their co-led "Love Devotion and Surrender" album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmIaubt4NWY&list=OLAK5uy_lEtxpyVbQXeGJ45TzyAcSxBg1Djf... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim How have I never heard John McLaughlin? I don’t have a single CD or even a tune that he’s played on in my collection. What a huge rock I’ve been under! Well, I don’t know ;o) He’s gone through many varied phases in his career (b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You can never go wrong with Santana! ...especially when partnered with J. McLaughlin! | |

| Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers? @ghdprentice Almost any cloth will have dust embedded in it and will cause micro scratches… How true -- I learned the hard way with my piano black Silverlines ;o/ | |

| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie @bdp24 I'm very sensitive to harsh highs and as I don't have the option of following the embedding advice of @mahgister (my system in in our living room), I try to be very careful with gear choices. Nevertheless, I unintentionally ended up with ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You're welcome! Stanley Cowell is excellent. @mahgister The sax, trumpet, piano, bass and drums is probably my favorite. Check out Billy Harper's quintet recordings with trumpeter Eddie Henderson, such as the three "Live in the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Well, OK -- if you insist! Sticking to the Ralph Moore theme, here's a live JJ Johnson date with a killer group of sidemen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoYmdoOoOto JJ Johnson: Trombone Ralph Moore: Sax Victor Lewis: Drums ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Haven’t heard that one. BTW, another excellent record featuring Ralph Moore is Kenny Barron’s "Other Places": https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kenny+barron+other+places I will attempt to restrain myself from bombarding... | |
