God doesn't need to know what time it is.


Value of anything is a most fascinating subject to me.

Eric Clapton hasn't owned this  Rolex Daytona for nearly 20 years. It 's probably been in storage since he dumped it and is expected to fetch north of $1.6M?

For that much I'd want his playing ability AND his stereo system.

Ha. Or Connoisseur Magazine. The Bling Report. Our objective is to find the most expensive, extravagant example of certain "lifestyle" product categories, regardless of the actual merit of the product to perform its intended function. It's really expensive and chances are, you'll be the only one in a ___ radius to own one. 

Step up and be a player. :)

bdp24- another internet discovery for me.

The watch guy in the YT was a drummer and music industry exec.

Michael Blakey. It appears he is the YT high rolling lifestyle guy and an actual former musician.

 

 

Yes OP....

I love  him very much....His playing improvisation are extraordinary and all musicians around him play more for him than with him....This  says a lot about genius....

mahgister-

You’re probably know Pat Martino had an incredible comeback story after losing his memory/playing ability. He overcame major challenges.

Pat Martino (RIP) was a great under the radar guitarist and from South Philly! . Was a child prodigy and had to reteach himself after a stroke. When George Benson heard him play in NYC he said he had to leave town because he was much better than him. I wish he had more vinyl available in new releases beyond El Hombre (a great album). Other used title go for stratospheric prices.

Maybe he will be like most other great jazz musicians - under appreciated until they pass on and then all of the other great stuff will be reissued on vinyl.

"Under the radar" ? ? ? ?

For those who've never listened to Jazz, perhaps.
