| Jazz for aficionados Nice!Ray Brown Trio / Soular EnergyThere's something about this record I really, really like. I know Gene Harris is supposed to be the star of the show, but there's something about Ray's playing on it that really speaks to me. The swing, maybe? ... | |
| If someone looked through you music (records, CDs, etc.) what would surprise them? Just the fact that I have so much of it would probably be the first and biggest surprise. I don't wear headphones around all the time (or any of the time), and I rarely talk about music at all. I think it would come as a surprise to just about e... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @jafant Incredible that there is not an Audio shop in East Memphis or similar? I suspect customers drive to Nashville. I moved here in my 30s, and I find [white] Memphians have a strange fascination with Nashville. I think it's a grass-is-alwa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Trentmemphis, checked out Freddy Cole @ JALC. Very nice! Unique stylist and very good band. Thanks for the tip.I’m intrigued by your comment re what people say about the Delta. Would like your thoughts.I just recently ran across Fre... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant Yeah, 2020 isn't a great year to see much of a new place. No, there's practically no jazz scene at all in Memphis. Rock, blues, Americana, soul . . . not much jazz. And, unfortunately, our last audio shop closed about 10 years ago. We ... | |
