"Should have stayed with Julien", you got that right. I can no longer afford the Kool aid, but once you start, you can't stop. I long for those good old Stereo Review days, I still have a few; I really get a kick out of the low prices of equipment...

"Silver's own version of Nica's Dream is my favorite of the two; by a long shot! Blakey's version is too slow. There is no law that says that a tune can't work played at a tempo different from the one the composer intended, but this is a case wh...

After all of this, it would really be a waste not to understand "before and after the beat", but it would have to be explained by example. In regard to a "yardstick", there would have to be a number of them, and finally to take them all into cons...

Acman, "Blue Mitchell" Graffiti must be in high demand; the CD is listed for $26.93 used. I like it, maybe I'll get it.Enjoy the music.

Rok, this is just like old times; Leon would enjoy this: me, him, and his brother on one side of Missouri Ave, and the Gatlin brothers on the other side, daring each other to cross.

Re Thomas (again): with all due respect, you're grabbing at straws. I like Thomas and I have said so. I wonder how HE would have felt knowing that his yodeling was the only thing there was to like about his singing; according to O-10 of course. ...
