I met him. A very nice man.
Back to WKCR and a jazz program.
Hmmm that's an interesting one Beau...or ought i say Emile!
Unfortunately I have to cede the evenings to the tv. I can’t complain though, I have eight daytime hours where I run the system. In the next place, the whole set will be in another room.Hey, did you hear the Babs Gonzales tonight? Great stuff. Live at "Small's Paradise" with Johnny Griffin, Clark Terry, Horace Parlan, and Ben Riley. I forgot the bassist.
Edit: Buddy Catlett on bass.
Lol...sounds familiar!Unfortunately I have to cede the evenings to the tv. I can’t complain though, I have eight daytime hours where I run the system. In the next place, the whole set will be in another room.

The Blue Note Davis records grew on me, especially the ballads: Yesterdays, How Deep Is The Ocean, It Never Entered My Mind. They're fantastic. And there's lots of other great stuff, too. Generally, when I've read reviews of those records, though, they're typically dismissive about them, which I just don't get. You always have to listen and judge for yourself, really.
I do love it, but I’m afraid the amp is going to start asking for full time benefits soon.I understand. I was in the car, and the DJ started playing it. I was listening to WKCR this morning too, when Phil Schaap was playing some of those Dean Benedetti tapes of Bird. That's great that you have a solid 8 hours to listen!

I do love a good opinion eloquently expressed...never tire of listening to them...must be the music lover in me...I totally agree. Musical taste is just that. It's your personal TASTE. Having someone tell you what you should or should not listen to, for me, seems absurd. It's like saying, "Hey, my favorite food in the world is Lobster. But I hate Steak. You should love Lobster and hate Steak too or you have no class when it comes to food." Nonsense. Everyone is different. Eat what you like, listen to what you like. It's as simple as that.
I take Jazz reviews with a grain of salt. It's the reviewer's opinion. Nothing more. I happen to really like Miles BN recordings. Were they the best he ever did? Not in my OPINION, but they are very good, IN MY OPINION.
In another genre, Johnny Cash had a new album released a few years ago "Out Among the Stars". It was cut in the 80s and never released. I'm not a country fan, but I do like Johnny Cash. Not sure why. Anyway, the critics basically said the album was horrible and that's why it was never released when it was cut. I bought it anyway and to me, it's one of his very best. I absolutely love it. But keep in mind, you could fit what I know about Country Music into a thimble. Yet I know what I like to listen to. At least I THINK I do!
