Dave, having excellent taste is an important component for the acquisition of a boss jazz collection. Not many newcomers would have selected "Soul Brothers" in the beginning stage of getting into jazz. You couldn't have picked a better time; tha...

I'm continuing with Stereophile's list of R2D4. Buddy Collette played sax, clarinet and flute; I primarily knew him for his work on flute. He grew up with Mingus in LA, but I can't think of any musical similarities between the two.Buddy Collette...

Something old has been at the top of my list for quite some time. Something new, Brad Mehldau - "Blues and Ballads" is sure sounding good.            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssgnCeomQFMThanks for the tip Dave.

I had the exact same opinion about the "Takiyaki orchestra", after wanting to make fun of it, I liked it; as a matter of fact, it made me recall Martin Denny, who I liked a long time ago.As you stated, "Three winners from Stereophile".Enjoy the music

Instead of posting records from my collection, I'm going to post "Records to die for" from the selected collection of "Stereophile" writers, that are not in my collection, and we can get your opinion of R2D4 2017.          https://www.youtube.com...

Frogman, as you know, that comes out every year and I usually have almost all of them that I want, (that hasn't changed) although this year has a better selection than most. When I mentioned "Stereophile" I was referring to the monthly selection ...

Frogman, I must have overlooked that, do you recall the month and year "Stereophile" recommended it?Thank you.

Alex, as I recall, you went on a fact finding mission of your own in regard to participation in this thread; what did you find?I would like your opinions on Frogmans assertions.Thank you.

After upgrading my "analog rig" I also have to redo the LP's to my play list in order to get full benefit; that's what I'm doing now. I've got quite a few Pat Metheney records that look brand new, and I don't know what they sound like; that's a b...
