I was responding to various listening experiences here - and someone mentioned Giddens above. I really don't think my comment is gratuitous - since it is warranted by the spirit of debate as often expressed here; and it wasn't really nasty enough to be vituperative. I do have strong feelings about her and that group because I feel like they represent an abuse of tradition, a fake way of looking at history. Their music is exploitative and false. Of course this is only my opinion, but I think that it is in the proper spirit of this forum.

Again IIRC you've quit this group several times because you took offense about less nasty things said about you. And the point is not what you said about fellow musicians but what you implied about fellow board members.

Mark Weinstein - Timbasa (Jazzheads)

Only the Ray Bryant tracks, inluding those added to the CD reissue. Bryant always played like he could go on for days! 

Next Bryant will be posted in the vinyl listening thread.

Thanks for posting that, Jim. I enjoyed it and appreciated being introduced to some new (to me) music.
