| Underrated jazz greats Horace Tapscott - a longtime mainstay of the LA jazz community was a piano player with a unique way of establishing musical momentum. His was the sound of inevitability. Lenny Breau - So much talent that it had to hurt. Calling him a jazz player i... | |
| Well, worst of is really what this is about My Music Reference RM200 required service and I was loaned an Audio Research VS115 that my dealer was sure I would find an acceptable substitute. On the contrary, it reduced everything to a colorless and dull caricature of music. It altered timbre... | |

| Cedar Walton RIP Agreed! My wife and I saw him at Columbia University about 23 years ago. He was stellar, as was the band. We saw the recently departed Mulgrew Miller as part of the same concert series. Great artists, both. | |

| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? I lucked into owning, perhaps the sexiest components of all time, the Nakamichi 600 cassette deck, 620 100 wpc amplifier and 630 tuner/preamp. Spinning the tuning wheel of the 630 was a particularly sensual experience, as was the light show of the... | |
| Recordings with BASS "Hello Jeff" on Journey to Love by Stanley Clarke. Will sound like whale farts if your system doesn't have low end extension and articulation. Slammin' tune though when all is well. | |
| Best Stevie Wonder Album? Innervisions was one of the first records I bought when I was young. People often describe their first listen to a favorite record as a form of liberation. For me, Innervisions was an explosion. I played my first copy of that record until I could ... | |
