FOUND ANOTHER ONE!

The room really is a lot of it indeed. My father has a Victrola in Ohio and I love to listen to it!

Chuck: steam it all off. Silvertone au naturel.

I agree with Jac. To me it does matter what I listen to, but it doesn't matter to me what you listen to.

Very acoustic, very up front in the recording. It's a good 'un.

TOD, So happy it's your birthday! MANY MORE HAPPY ONES! B)

Too much, plus 25 shipping, insurance extra.

Since I bought a pair of Decware EL34 Monoblock amps after Thanksgiving, I sold my Decware Select amp that was my best stereo friend for three years. The new Monoblocks are a better fit for my Radial RL-2 speakers. They're twice as powerful, and have nearly the same sound as the Select, they're maybe just a tad warmer, which is a plus probably. I'm very happy with my system, especially with this Samson rack, which I'm just so glad to have at last.

Ellington Uptown, Festival Session, and Masterpieces by Ellington are up for preorder for 8.39 . . . .

Hey, just realized it would make a great Ed Motta cd!

I was just thinking that there are a few albums that it would be fun to have redone by some of today's cats. Maybe they were just a little ahead of their time and not fully realized. Or maybe they would just be nice to have in a modern version for comparison or for timeliness reasons. Here's my first suggestion: "Gary Burton & Keith Jarrett" Atlantic. I think it would sound very "now" now.

Brownie, I'm not doubting your facts. But that does not in any way prohibit Ms. Greco from being a very jealous woman!

A certain Ms. Greco was probably VERY jealous! I found this via Google Image Search, hit "Miles Davis" and it showed up on the first page! I knew it would get some "love" here.

I just bought and last night installed a "Samson" rack from Mapleshade Records. 2" maple shelves, solid threaded steel rods, brass locking nuts and brass spiked feet. It's expensive, okay it's TOO expensive, but I've loved the results of their maple platform, brass cones, Isoblocks, etc. and used the proceeds of selling an amp to buy this rack. WOW! I'd say the system sounds about 15% better somehow! This thing is so solid and so beautiful! I'm REALLY looking forward to a weekend of heavy listening.

I am CERTAIN he was!

I'll beg to differ. I love them both. I wouldn't be without Zoning, and Zoning is a straight date without spiritual trappings and voices. . . an easier item to keep in print!

I think the Genius Presenting the Fathead was available in the two cd/four lp set that 32jazz had out of four Newman Atlantics.

Yeah, this is wild, wacky stuff! It's cool but it ain't Doing the Village Gate! It ain't even filthy mcnasty!

I'm wearing on my boss's nerves.

Maybe I'm weird but I love Miles' playing on this. Even though everyone else plays EVEN BETTER.

I don't know anything about Mobile Fidelity CDRs, I know they made gold CDs and then went out of business and then came back again recently, but. . . . I have used these Mitsui cdrs when my audio burner was in better shape, less discriminating of type of cdrs, and they are very very good cdrs. Just got a few dozen for some archiving of recordings I had made myself on tape in the 'eighties. Worked flawlessly, seem beefy and even seem to maybe have a tiny bit more warmth than the normal Mitsui cds in playback. (Maybe that's just my imagining). They're quality. Got mine from www.am-dig.com.

Exactly. Though Duke and Sonny Blount were using it beforehand, and I'm sure they weren't in a vacuum, it was Zawinul's very soulful use with Cannon that really brought the use of the electric piano to a visible position in jazz, and I'll bet inspired its use in the Miles Davis Quintet (I could be wrong.) I wish that Duke had recorded more on electric piano; he carried one around with him almost everywhere on tour it seems, he was quite intimate with the keyboard! I bet he could have made some great recordings with it.

I DIG Dave Digs Disney. It's current domestic cd release really doesn't sound that bad.

Yeah, sorry about that. . . . B)

Gosh, there are so MANY! I think an early favorite was "The Wind Cried Mary." It was just so different than what I normally heard coming out of the radio from Lorenco Marques. I really do love the later song writing though, and would have to say "Power to Love" and "Hey Baby (Land of the New Rising Sun)" if you forced me to three (I'd drop "Message to Love.") Colette Mimram and Devon Wilson!
