| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -Love Illinois Jacquet's rendition! Thanks for sharing. Jo Jones' drumming sounds like the IRT going over the 125th St subway bridge, late at night. Danny Gatton is under appreciated. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -that is interesting. I do like Jimmy Forest's grittier version. I didn't know there were so many to choose from :-) Forest's saxophone reminds me of the sax on this song- | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of Hammond B3 players, is anyone familiar with Joey DeFrancesco? On this song, Joey has a wonderful solo starting at 2:52. And the rest of the musicians are awesome, too! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -Smith's Foxy Lady is terrific. Thanks for sharing! @mahgister -Love the fat tone of a Hammond B3, also. Because of the posthumous CD /record releases, I find Hendrix's music inconsistent. Up to Band of Gypsys, when Hendrix is good, h... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim - "Anyone else love Tardo Hammer? Listening to Look, Stop & Listen and it’s just great." Yes, fabulous record. A very well recorded/produced record of the music of Tadd Dameron. Charlesdad2, a regular A'Gon poster, recommended t... | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? @calvinj -Mad is as mad does. The irony is music brings the performers and listeners joy. David | |
| Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender I have an Aurender N200. It's sublime. I chose it because of its beefy power supply, shielded isolation and (for me) ease of use. Since I already had a DAC I really like, I did not consider a unit with DAC/streamer combination. | |
| Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums? @calvinj -"My daughter punched a hole in the cone of my Gato FM6 speaker when she was 2. lol 😂 I lost my mind that day." Ouch!
