@bigtwin  Yes -- great musician !  
Noir album recommendations
@dayglow  This is the first I've heard of Noir Jazz but that Terence Blanchard is excellent!  
Market Stabilization?
This is not the place for political rants. There are plenty of other forums online for that. And from a practical standpoint, you're unlikely to change anyone's mind in this highly polarized political climate.   
Anyone listen to entire albums?
There are of course popular albums that feature tunes that take up an entire side or tunes that run together. I guess if one’s tastes inclined toward am radio and singles-oriented Pop, one might be more inclined to buy albums for the hits. Best of...

@bdp24 I’ll check them out. I recall seeing Lauderdale with Lucinda Williams on her second ACL show that also featured a very young-looking Kenny Vaughan. I bought "On Your Side" at one point but it didn’t find it very engaging. Maybe I need t... 
Anyone listen to entire albums?
As a rule, I only buy/keep cds I enjoy all the way through. I've made my own anthologies of artists whose albums are inconsistently appealing to me, such as Led Zep and Rory Gallagher but these are very much exceptions and I rarely play them.   ...

Sound Anchor Stands

Jazz for aficionados
@botrytis I’ve played guitar for 50 years (just to entertain myself -- I found out early on that gigging was not for me) so I don’t have to depend upon my system to have a deep connection with music. Nevertheless, I still enjoy good audio, just...

@curiousjim  You're welcome! Wish more artists' websites emulated H.Hancock's. @botrytis  Sounds like a healthy approach to me...  
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
With so many differing opinions all I can say is this is a very confusing topic...    
Jazz for aficionados
Yeah, "Head Hunters" was the first H. Hancock album I encountered -- checked it out from the local library in ’75. Soon after that I was seduced by Blue Note album covers into exploring that label’s offerings. "Maiden Voyage" was the first H. Hanc...
