Jazz

Kenny Werner Quintet w/Randy Brecker, David Sanchez, Scott Colly, Antonio Sanchez. Only one I was unfamiliar with was Antonio - what a revelation! The guy is fantastic - totally locked into the music and musicians. Extremely creative and very 'busy' without being intrusive.

I saw him at Keystone Korner the same week that they recorded "Atlantis". I wish I remembered it better, but I love the album.

I've had the Thinksounds for a while now but only used them a couple of times. I realize that I'm not used to earbuds - especially noise restricting ones - and it's a weird sensation to walk around with them. So for now I still don't use them during my daily commute. I think they'll be fine for my upcoming vacation, though.

Just re-released on YepRoc

I could never understand what "dinner jazz" was supposed to mean.

Are they good? I could probably see them in Austin. They're fun! Intense Irish-punk music. There was a banjo, fiddle, and accordion on stage, but it was still driving punkish stuff. It's like going to an Irish Pub with 2,500 other people, moshing and so forth. I didn't mosh, too old for that lol - I just kinda bop along nowadays. Check out some of their clips on youtube.. OK..........sounds good. I'll just add it to the growing list.

Are they good? I could probably see them in Austin. Will be seeing him on Saturday. Kenny Werner Quintet

Now I'm even MORE happy that I wasn't able to get over there! Next time.........for SURE.

Maybe it was just as well, it sounds like you were (are) a bit 'under the weather'.

Sorry I couldn't make it last night, Jim. I hope it was a great show! Hopefully the band will swing through here again one of these days.

After clicking on "View New Content," I got this amazing sequence of thread topics: The Jazz Version of... / Sopranos Season Starts!!! Every now and then you ask yourself / What are you listening to right now? The Wisconsin dispute / Album Covers with Women on Wheels! Sexiest album covers / One Flight Up Anyone else see this?

A few months ago I made a painful decision to sell 2/3 of my collection to Amoeba (~800 LPs). Best thing I ever did. Next I have to make some CD decisions.

Yeah, that would be cool! I have some logistical problems, but I'll work on it.

Damn! That's Friday. I'll see what I can do ...

Interesting.

Maybe Django ... Anyone who doesn't already have Hank should pick it up now.

Curious to know your impression about these. I almost bought them last year when I was in the market for new earbuds. Sure. Even though they're smaller, they apparently have newer technology (than the older Rain and ts01's) yet still sound nice. We'll see. It's really difficult to buy something like this because there's really no way to try them out before buying. So you have to rely on reviews and word of mouth.

I broke down and ordered these - thinksound ts02

Heard a track from this on KCSM today! ... and they DID mention that it is on Big O Records.

CNET loves these! I was leaning towards the thinksound ts-02s, but I may have to reconsider. Especially since they're about the same price.

I had recently read good things about that "rain" set. and the site recommends Comply Foam Tips which are a good addition to ear canal phones that can accommodate them. Stefan Wood: how much sound bleed to surrounding parties on the iGrados ?, I've been using my Denon in-ears in an office and they start to hurt so going to the old fashioned style might be best. I recently sent an email question to them on a Saturday and received an answer in about a 1/2 hour.......from Aaron Fournier, the President and CEO!
