That's absolutely on point. My problem with Muse is the sound - rather thin, no warmth, especially the bass, and bass drums almost inaudible. I doubt there will be much improvement. And they have short playing time. In most cases two albums woulb fit on one CD. Some are musically very good, some are avrerage. I find this listing to be more useful than the one on discogs, due to all foreign editions listed there. http://www.jazzlists.com/SJ_Label_Muse_5000.htm Muse continued when Prestige was turned into a fusion label. Don Schlitten et al.

This afternoon:

RIP - great loss for the tuba masters quartet that graced that Taj Mahal album.

Yes, that's the only way to become a member. BTW - I suggested it, but another member was faster, but I am a moderator.

Oh my .... I have six of these tracks and didn't get them. My temporary jazz abstinence takes its toll. At least I was (partly) close in two cases. I will have to re-listen to the Zoot Sims track - I always liked him before that one. The Claudia Acuna goes to my wish list - actually I like her more than Flora Purim. Thanks ....... for showing me my limits.

My own CDR with all the jazz tracks first, like Tjader programmed his concerts.

I have it, and recommend it.

Yours truly presenting an evening with Cal Tjader's music at a friend's studio. The music sounded terrific on his expensive Hi-Fi.
