I'd be willing to bet that the Marantz and NAD models linked up thread work well and produce great sound. Both are under $1000.

Great movie. Jeffrey Wright is one of the best actors around.

I can't explain it, but I'm a total sucker for city skyline album covers, especially when it comes to jazz records. 32 Jazz almost never has good cover art but they punched above their weight class on that one.

The Cecil isn't there yet, nor the rest of their 2026 batch of releases that I can tell, but most Elemental albums eventually show up on bandcamp.

Freeman is awful. Always has been.

There are worse out there, surely.

👍- as original LP from 1972 on my shelf ...

Thank you. All guests enjoyed it. And there will be a second round in three weeks as our apartment is not that big.

That's my favorite Prez... And congratulations with your wife Mike.

Great way to spend a relaxed sunday afternoon after the party for my wife's 70th birthday. Lester's version of I Can't Get Started is the kind of music that I want to listen to and die peacefully when the time comes.

Thrilled to have found a copy of Buster Williams’s “Pinnacle” at my local. This is the one Mwandishi-adjacent LP that I could never track down. Agree Phil Freeman sucks big time. Sophomoric grouches singularly enthusiastic about “out” music are my least favorite jazz-guy archetype.

I thought his Cecil book was really disappointing. Very little insight into the man and it became a simple chronological description of the gigs played. I believe there's another bio on the horizon which will hopefully do Taylor justice. As for RSD itself, well the first Little Feat album is one I'm very happy to be reacquainted with.
