Guys-

any epic releases, any genre, slated in 2016?

Some fun live clips here. All is not perfect. On the one with the Studio No.7 banner seems to me like they are not always quite in time with one another...maybe an artifact of how things were recorded?? In the 5:08 min long vid, sounds like someone forgot to turn on the trumpet player’s mic when he goes to solo. STILL - gives a good sense of the energy these guys can generate. Fun stuff.

If you haven’t already, you ought to drop a link to this stuff on that Jazz Aficionado crowd. Wake up those stiffs!
:-) Just kidding. Some of ’em will dig it.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Another good clip here (great resolution and sound quality)

Lol!!!  I hear ya!  Gotta say, while they (sometimes) post some great stuff, the overall feel of the thread seems more like geriatric aficionados, I've always imagined the main players over there to be somewhere between 70-80 yrs old as it explains some of the perpetual state of crankiness they seem to be in (and the period of music they seem locked into).  I sometimes drop in there and it's always the SOS, grumpy old Walter Matthau-ish men regurgitating the same tired arguments over and over ad nauseum.  I wonder how many music-lovers follow that thread for the blow-ups more than the music?  It feels like you're watching a Real Housewives Of Audiogon episode!;)

Too funny Chazro!!
the new album from the Lumineers us a masterpiece !! It's called Cleopatra . Wow !!
@chazro - 
Tend to agree with your assessment though in fairness, I've learned quite a bit from that thread AND their knowledge of the jazz universe (esp., O, Rok & Frogman) is certainly impressive.  My take on their "virtual neighborhood" as communicated to them there...

"You know visiting this thread is like dropping in on a friend living in an apartment with thin walls whose neighbors are a loud and dysfunctional family. Kind of interesting, odd and funny all at the same time. Just sayin’...."
