Reply #2850 - 10/28/13 at 14:32:39 Yes, that remastered Village Vanguard set was stuck in my players for a while too. Just timeless music. What a shame we lost Scott LaFaro but he left a large legacy through his linfluence. Right now Two guys I love, what's not to like

Reply #2851 - 10/28/13 at 14:42:42 Lon, I don't think I've got that one but a couple days ago I listened to Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington's "The Great Summit, Complete Sessions"...Deluxe Edition. If you don't have the 3 CD set "The Complete Verve Recordings of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong"...Get it. It is fantastic. Mark.

I'm listening to new music on you tube via my laptop, as I often do, with some Sennheiser Ear Buds. Like the Trio yesterday, E.S.T., I don't own any of this group's recordings...yet. This group is interesting. Enjoy, Mark.

Reply #2856 - 10/28/13 at 20:30:48 I really don't do youtube, but know that music, it's pretty good. Right now In one way I needed a new copy of this like a hole in my head. But I'm glad I got this new Japanese reissue (Bethlehem / Solid) because it sounds stupendous.

My most recent Mingus purchase was Mosaic Records "Charles Mingus - The Jazz Workshop Concerts 1964-65". I have only listened to the first two CDs of seven...very exciting stuff.

I think Steve said the Mystery amp helped him to get into Classical (sorry to bring the amp up again, LOL). I enjoy live performances of classical music, but recording mostly leave me bored, or I get sound fatigue pretty quickly when it's a very dynamic piece. I know that fatigue is usually attributed to equipment, so I'm hoping the M-A get's me there enough that I can really start loving and enjoying classical as much as I do other styles of music.

LR, what I've been doing is using Spotify or you tube to listen to new music. For example, all the Bill Evans Discs both Lon and I have talked about are on Spotify for free (only an occasional audio commercial) and the sound is rather good via computer...less so with mobile devices. I just looked and the first set I would reccomned of Bill Evans... The Complete Live at the Village Vanguard 1961...is on Spotify in addition to many box sets...all verve output box, all Fantasy output box, 1980 Village Vanguard box, 1980 Keystone box, etc. Some albums sometimes won't be available, for example the label ECM doesn't allow it's albums on Spotify usually. The Art Farmer album Lon recently showed...Isis.... is there and I plan on listening to it soon. Anyway, today, unlike 10 years ago, there are many ways to listen before you buy. I hope this helps.

OK LR, this might be more help than you want but I've read a lot of books on Jazz and Jazz Artists and for someone just starting the "Jazz Journey" I would recommend the below two books. They're a lot of fun to read and will educate you on the most well known East Coast and West Coast players from the 20's to the 60's and their most notable recordings.

LR, remember to take your time and enjoy the journey...don't get in a hurry. These two books are not all inclusive and may not mention artists that will become your favorites but they're a good start. Also the All music Guide to Music is a wonderful resource for all types of music and it's free on line website is easy to use...www.allmusic.com. Have Fun, Mark.

I have trouble getting into Jazz, so I agree with you I need to start out slow. I've played A Kind of Blue till I almost wore out the laser and know it very well. But not much else has captivated me like that album has.

They are good jazz albums that are not that hard to get into! They may open up a window. . . . But hey, if jazz doesn't reach you there's nothing wrong with that. It's more and more a niche genre and in my opinion all genres are valid and valuable if they bring you real enjoyment.

OK LR, all of Lon's recommendations are on Spotify. I won't overwhelm you with albums but check out Hank Mobley's Soul Station on Blue Note Records....Mobley is less challenging than Coltrane...I think you'll like him. You could spend a lifetime listening to just Blue Note's recordings and die a happy man...at least I could...hehe. Now go sign up for Spotify. I'm sure you could even figure out how to stream it through you Hi Fi. Mark.

Oh my, Grant Green was a very individual guitarist whose style was on the surface very simple and direct but whose work I find fascinating. I worked as a drummer with several very busy and complicated guitarists, and discovered Green's sparer and less complicated playing at that time and it was a huge breath of fresh air. And I still enjoy his work immensely. It's too bad he didn't live on into the 'eighties and beyond.
