Jazz Recommendations

Kadlec, here are a couple everyone should have: Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Time Out" and Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." These are very much classics (60's) and you don't have to have a "jazz ear" to enjoy them. I have a lot of jazz stuff I tried and tried to make myself like, but just don't "get it," yet. These two discs are now in remastered releases (Columbia/Legacy 65122 & 64935) and get a lot of spin time in my player. Good luck, Charlie.

Professor Campbell, could you comment on the "liner notes" from the Columbia/Legacy "Kind of Blue" where it mentioned past issues having been "off key" due to incorrect tape speed at recording? (Corrected on this issue to true speed and key.) Does it not make this a "must have" release? How many musicians were driven to insanity trying to play to this mistake? Thanks, Charlie

Professor Campbell, as a "thank you," I wanted to send you a bottle of Famous Grouse for your sippin' pleasure, but I got carried away and spent all my money on jazz cds. Sorry. Charlie
