| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk , fabulous Elvin Jones recording and one of my very favorite records, period. Featuring probably the two greatest post-Coltrane tenor players, Dave Liebman and Steve Grossman. I have always found it interesting that in spite of the ofte... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Great guitarists mentioned! Here’s a guitarist that just floors me with how effortlessly the music flows out of him. Great chops, but it’s always the beauty of the phrasing that captures. https://youtu.be/AQ-mpga7JDA?is=5m0qSFoZNonxV_u6 I rece... | |
| I installed a new Nagaoka MP-700 To be clear, lest my comment be interpreted as arrogant: It is quite a feat for a cartridge, any cartridge, to make a Decca sound slow. | |
| I installed a new Nagaoka MP-700 “…almost making the Decca sound slow”. Now, THAT really piqued my interest. Quite a feat. Sounds like one to go on the want list. Thanks for a very nice review. | |
| Almost not bearable. *** Acceptance regarding poor recordings is fine(necessary) but validating them "for the content" is ridiculous. Content and SQ are two different entities and need to be critiqued on an individual basis. *** Couldn’t disagree more. Sound quality... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you enjoyed those, @curiousjim. Byars is a terrific player and composer. As much as I love Coltrane and some of his many disciples, I always find it refreshing when a “younger” tenor player doesn’t have a blatant post-Coltrane approach a... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Thanks acman3! Great record by a very influential and innovative musician. And a great reminder of what a great trumpet player Don Ellis was. BTW, the link wouldn’t play for me. In case anyone else has the same issue, this one did work for me:... | |
| Jazz for aficionados tyray mentions Chick Corea on ECM. I love this record. Modeled after Bela Bartok’s “Mikrocosmos”, there is a beautiful simplicity….well, in Chick’s own words: “to convey simplicity as beauty, as represented in the Spirit of a child” https://y... |
