    Kirk Knuffke

    I've enjoyed Knuffke's previous outings with Jesse Staken on SteepleChase, but I agree that his two releases on Clean Feed (Big Wig and Amnesia Brown) are more to my liking.
  2. Just to be clear, the Nimbie USB Plus (NB21) is Acronova's new Blu-ray/CD/DVD automated burner/ripper with USB 3.0 interface. It retails for nearly the double the price of the unit I'm considering, the Nimbie USB (NB11).
  3. You're right, of course. I suppose that's why some/most people use professional services that perform this function. Still, it would cost me much more than $500 to have them do it, and I doubt they would do a satisfactory job with my obscure and out-of-print jazz titles.
  4. Disappointing response to my inquiry: Hi Rob, Thank you for your interest in our products. So far, there isn’t any review done on Nimbie by mainstream tech sites. Nimbie are reviewed mostly by customers and users based on their experience, perhaps you can check out some reviews below for your reference: amazon.com/Acronova-NB21 musiciansfriend.com/Acronova Nimbie NB11 amazon.com/Acronova-Lightscribe-Duplicator-Publisher If you have any question regarding to the Nimbie, feel free to let me know. Sincerely, Calvin Liu Acronova Technology, Inc. TEL: 732-422-1868 FAX: 732-698-7939
  5. Yes, I ran into the same trouble when looking for customer reviews. I've sent the company an email requesting help in finding customer and professional reviews.
  6. Ripstation 7601XDp $1395 Holds 100 discs, just like the Nimbie VinPower RipBox25-S1T Reg. $625 can be found for $499 Dig the robotic arm! Only holds 25 discs, though.
  7. I'm considering purchasing an automated ripping station for my 4,000+ cd collection. Most products are for professional use and cost well over $1000. The Acronova Nimbie NB11 pictured below is less than $500 and allows you to load up to 100 discs at a time. Most likely I would sell it on eBay or a computer/audio board after ripping my collection.
  8. I've never thought of it that way. Neither have I thought of it as a chance to get a rare or limited edition title. I've used it as an opportunity to visit a local record store, spend some money to show my support (c'mon, Dan!), and wax nostalgic about "the good ol' days".
  9. Solo Don Pullen. Only $1.56 with coupon.
  10. With all due respect, I think what you're REALLY hearing is the sound, not the music. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but bear in mind that the music experience is always there, regardless of the advanced (and in some cases questionable) sound reproduction.
  11. Ah, but there is a wholeness to everything. This is not the same thing as perfection. In fact, imperfection is inherent in completeness. Those who fail to appreciate this and instead pass judgment based on these inherent imperfections cling to a false sense of moral superiority. Such people, imo, lack integrity. Oh yeah, and they make lousy dance partners too!
  12. Imo, judgmental people actually lack integrity. One who strives to act with honesty and sincerity, and who values the wholeness of everyone and everything around him, would also be one that avoids judging, devaluing, and demeaning others, regardless of their misdeeds.
  13. The single might be rare, but the music isn't, anymore. The download costs less than $4 at amazon and other sites.
  14. Changing the inherent racism in drug sentencing laws would also reduce the prison population. Consider the following: 1) Two-thirds of all persons in prison for drug offenses are people of color. 2) According to a Fed study in 2002, there were approximately 14 million white Americans who had used drugs in the previous month, compared to about 2.6 million African Americans who had done so. In other words, there were five times as many whites using drugs as African Americans. 3) Despite this disparity, African Americans were admitted to prison for drug offenses at nearly 10 times the rate of whites.
  15. Received this message yesterday: Congratulations! Thanks to you and 333 other backers, Roswell Rudd record "An Album Of Standards" has been successfully funded.
  16. Have you taken the time to listen to the music the AEC recorded for ECM? Although it does not represent the best of their work, much of it is very good, and some, like the 2CD live set Urban Bushmen, is excellent. Put your preconceptions aside and let your ears decide.
  17. From the Harvard Crimson, August 2, 1988: Documentary Will Spotlight 1369 Club According to one of people who filmed the documentary, it was never released.
  18. Just Blowing by the band Pen Island.
  19. Damn, these guys are goooood!
  20. Me, a troll? Well I never....

  22. I'm guessing your favorite song is One Note Samba. It is isn't it? It's full of clever variations - so yes... I'll have to pay more attention in the future, for I see little variation and nothing resembling cleverness.
