Rok, the west coast jazz by Chico was flat, and I'm not an extreme audiophile. At the beginning, I stated there was a CD I wouldn't review, and it had some of the very best jazz in my collection, but the CD was lacking "nuance", that was essential...

Rok, "The Three Sounds". Chico Hamiltons West Coast CD's were lacking in the sonic department, they weren't as good as the "You tube's". That's why I asked. 
Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR
Evidently I'm not an "audiophile", I just listen to music and my Sonata is the most musical cartridge I've ever owned; but since I'm not an "audiophile" I've never owned a "bazillion" cartridges.

Rok, if the sound is good, I'm going to buy it. 
Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR
I owned a number of Shures, including the V15, and have no idea how they got their fame. There's no doubt about the Sonata, I'm not sure I'll ever want to upgrade again.

Frogman, I looked at his Bio. and discovered he was self taught, which meant he was truly gifted.Not long ago, I was telling another professional jazz musician that my friend was one of the best ever. "He was good, but he wasn't that good", was th...

"We", like the music and musicians we admire, are individualistic, and nobody's going to take that away from us. With this thought in mind, I sought a musician we could all agree on, and I think Mr. Gene Ammons meets that criteria. Here are two of...

Frogman, I'm absolutely certain it's jazz. He plays his voice better than many musicians can play their instruments. Here's more Bobby McFerrin. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&1361722327&openflup&240&4#240 http://www...

Pnmeyer, what's most astounding about my assessments and recommendations, is the fact that they are making me aware of all the CD's not currently in my collection.Enjoy the music.

Frogman, A professional jazz musician lived in my apartment for 3 months and he never practiced. I wont mention his name because every time it's mentioned, some clown pops out of the woodwork with garbage. In regard to,"If I don't practice for a d...

Jazzcourier, Mintons, a small joint in New York city, could hardly be called a "Public forum". Rok, if the JATP is your concept of jazz, that was dead a long time ago. Some reasons for the death of jazz are quite controversial, some aren't, like e...
