If you wanted to impress someone, which track?

Indeed! Of course, they have to choose from what I have!

Jean-Luc Ponty "Forever Together"

Hmmm to me, I'm more impressed from what I don't know yet.

Yes Kurt of course you are right and this is my policy. People are generally more interested in the music rather than how it sounds, really audiophiles are 5%ers. I also agree that the 45rpm of St. James Infirmiry is a stunning recording and will suggest it to anyone that shows an interest in jazz in general and Louis in particular.

Last time I suggested this (and it WILL be the last time), I got "Let's hear the Rachmaninoff 2nd piano concerto." That REALLY slowed things down :-)
