| musical drummers...who are they ??? I meant to mention Paul Motian in that post. Woops | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Another jazz drummer... but he has some of the biggest ears of any drummer I have heard. To me, a musical drummer can lay down a groove when needed or add a sense of lyrical conversation to a piece. He can really tell a story. His work with the Bi... | |
| VTA and 180 gram vinyl Thanks, gang. I think you have talked me down from that tree. To continue the discussion....any mat preferences over the standard issue felt?. FYI, I am currently using a Denon DL-110, and am very happy. Overall, I am happy with the turntable. It ... | |
| BIX TT Won't Hold Speed - Bearing Lube? I am fairly new to this hobby, but I would like to put something on the table regarding temperature. I would think that after a few hundred revolutions, the bearing would warm enough to make a cool ambient temperature a non-issue. I realize that t... | |

It was recorded live at the Village Vanguard, and you hear people coughing, glasses clinking, and c... | |
