Here's what I got to say to you Frogman "MOX NIX"! TWICE. Can you dig it?                [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIRAY-2Zjp4[/url]              [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py7URoogRj0[/url]Is too hip, or too old?

Schubert, we are all products of "The Phenomenology of Geist" therefore we listen to what resonates with our inner being, our spirit, that's why "our" music, that which resonates with our souls makes us feel good. Enjoy your music, whether it's ne...

Rok, most new jazz is "smooth jazz", and that's not Frogman's favorite genre, and he found the two examples I gave; let's let him speak, "I find those two examples to not be very good examples of the genre. As much grief as smooth jazz gets from s...

Rok, Milt Jackson and Cal Tjader are Apples and Oranges; Milt Jackson is to vibes what Bird was to alto sax; it's futile to compare them to anyone else.Cal Tjader runs Hot and cool, it depends on your mood what you want at the time; "Cubano Chant"...

I left off the link for "Tambu" by Cal Tjader and Charlie Byrd; it was the LP I wore out. Since I have to write another post to correct the last one, I might as well include more Cal Tjader "Tambu"                      [url]https://www.youtube.co...

Cal Tjader is one of my favorite musicians from a long time back, that I have overlooked. He was known as the most successful non latin, latin musician; that's because he explored so many other idioms, but never abandoned the music of Cuba,Althou... 
tube for ARC LS2B II preamp
6922 tubes of whatever brand are "neutral", that's ARC's claim to fame; maybe you need a different preamp, like CJ for example.

Rok, don't waste your time writing a good long post; it doesn't matter what we come up with, they're going to shoot it down.My last two posts were of good, current jazz CD's that I had purchased and reviewed; they simply overlooked them and kept o...

I am not in the "what is, and what is not jazz" camp. This music falls into the category of "smooth jazz".This is "In The Full Moonlight" and it's free exuberance sets me free to cavort "In the full moonlight".                    [url] https://www...

Frogman, my musical palette is not locked in the past, "Charenee Wade" is my most recent acquisition; the subject matter of her music is "singing of a more complicated urban existence"; no, this is not "rapping" about an urban existence, this is s...

Rok, believe it or not, I was reading your post"..............More in a minute have to change to music before Shepp drives me nuts!" And that's when I discovered what that noise in the background was; what's Frogman trying to do to us?

Schubert, you listen to classical as much as I listen to jazz. Taste in music is primarily a result of the culture you were exposed to.Your comment in regard to rap, hit the nail dead on the head; they asked for it and you gave it to them. Talki...

Rok, if the good Lord put that load on you, you can bear it; I got faith in you, just remember Job in the Bible, he was rewarded. You can carry on, just don't forget to enjoy the music while going through these trials and tribulations.

Acman, you're absolutely correct; I know because I is listening to it right now; therefore it is an is, just like you say.

Sometimes things go so well together that you can't have one without the other: peanut butter and jelly; ham and eggs; beans and cornbread; well anyway you get my drift. There are jazz musicians who go together in this fashion: Donald Byrd and Pe...
