Bop Shop!! Pretty much the only place I shop for used vinyl anymore. Great record store. Maybe a little pricey but the condition of their records is generally awesome.

My listening area is only 1/2 of a small bedroom. I have mine on 24" stands only 4' from my chair and about 5' apart. With no toe in they sound balanced and image great. Not much soundstage in the small space because I can't optimize placement, but I am happier than I've been with any other...

I think there is some selective memory here. We all do it. I just turned 50, and records were pretty poor quality when I was in High School, lots of warps and skips on new records. I personally believe that it helped CDs get a foothold. I know that is a broad generalization, but I don't have...

Miles Davis

Coltrane Ballads

Coltrane Alternate Takes It's a cut-out and only VG condition, but I really like this record. Bought cheap at my local shop for $8. Well, cheap for a Coltrane record.

Blue Train Not my first Jazz album, but the one that made me fall in love with the genre.

Sonny Clark Cool Struttin' I really love this album. Great lineup. "Sippin' at Bells" is a favorite.

Kenny Burrell. Love the atmosphere on this one. I feel cooler just listening to it.

Dave Brubeck

Thanks for this. I own and love "Milestones" and forgot he played on it. Your description of "with strings" sounds right up my alley.

I would love to make suggestions, but that is also my only Cannonball album lol. I've read that Miles Davis contributed heavily to "Somethin' Else" so I don't know how Adderley's other albums differ; it could be a lot.

Dinah Washington

Count Basie Sarah Vaughan

I wish I could like a post more than once. Fantastic album.
