Ron Bierma, manager of the Jazz Record Mart
Stefan Wood replied to Chuck Nessa's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Begging the question of what happened? -
He didn't get whipped, the defense did; poor game planning and management by the coaches. Sam Bradford is an excellent QB who had a bad year last season. Washington's offense isn't the problem. Once of the worst officiated games I have ever seen, bad calls on both teams.

Another good release from Tompkins Square:

Picked this up, yet another stellar release from Sterns': What a voice!!!

You just can't walk into a retail store, especially a chain store, and expect to see a wide selection like it was 5 or even 10 years ago. Only specialty store will do that, and they are hanging on by their fingernails. It's online, and that's it.

That's been on my short list to get for over a year now... I have these as well, and second the rec... Adam, buy that set. It's a stunning set, well compiled and researched. The second set is good too, but not as good as the first. Also, this:

Redskins! Redskins!! Redskins!!! I know it's one game, but damn I am drinking the Kool Aid......

Was at my local used cd store a couple of weekends ago, they were playing this album: Never heard this before -- had to buy it, and it has not left my player. One of the most beautiful and complete albums I have heard in a long time. AllMusic.com review link

The new release of Hot Rats is supposed to undo all the things that were "wrong" on the initial cd release -- don't know the details. Anyway, a fantastic album. I tend to favor his 1970-75 albums, which are more jazz flavored. To answer your question, I would do Hot Rats first, then maybe Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Chunga's Revenge, Waka Jawaka, and Apostrophe.

Yeah, DMG is a great store, with helpful staff, but they are not the only game in town. Or, in this case, the internet. I find their prices to be moderate to expensive -- what they are good for are hard to find to obscure or independent labels or pressings, and those are worth the money.

Spectrum Road with Vernon Reid, Jack Bruce, John Medeski, Cindy Blackm
Stefan Wood replied to robertoart's topic in Artists
Just bought this album from Amazon; received in the mail today. Yeah, this is a very good album, though the last three tunes are a bit off, compared to the rest of the album. Not as engaging. Shows how out of it I am; I had no idea Cindy Blackman married Carlos Santana! -

It's a done thing. They want to make sure Strasburg's good for the long haul, as in a having a career.

Awesome news!

J.S. Bach: Suites 1-6 for Unaccompanied Cello

Yeah, I take exception to the Starker comment. -
J.S. Bach: Suites 1-6 for Unaccompanied Cello
Stefan Wood replied to paul secor's topic in Classical Discussion
Putting the "cult of mercury" aside, ain't nothing wrong with Starker. -
Not a difficult thing to do, but reading between the lines here perhaps they are moving away from the physical cd sales and more towards downloads?

J.S. Bach: Suites 1-6 for Unaccompanied Cello
Stefan Wood replied to paul secor's topic in Classical Discussion
The Mercury Starker is excellent, and I love the Casals. But the Fournier on Archiv has really grabbed me. -
A download for me as well.

'Classical' music from the last 50 years (or so)
Stefan Wood replied to A Lark Ascending's topic in Classical Discussion
Finally! On cd!!!!!!! Carl Ruggles -
I'll second the Audio Technica, but this Shure M97xe is a very good all arounder as well.
