Naw....is it a "Christmas"Holiday CD? I've got a very good CD by Baker..."Round Midnight". I love Chet Baker. You got "The water is Wide" CD by Charles Lloyd? IF not go and pick it up. Its rather smooth and not avant-garde in the slightest. Its so smooth, Billy Higgins is using brushes on most of the cuts. It will mellow you out after a stressful day at the office...at least it dose from me.

Hey did you come to St. Louis one time and spent some time with Mr.Peabody? IF so you coming back this way soon? Maybe all 3 of us could get together?

Actually, it's not a holiday disc at all despite the name...tunes like "Travelin' Light", "When Your Lover Has Gone", etc...if you're interested in a trial copy PM me the addy....I already owe enough people stuff one more wont hurt, lol.

Yeah, I've actually been down to St. Louis several times this year and, in fact, did get to spend some time with Mr. Peabody and his excellent system...not sure when I'll make it down again but the more the merrier, I say.

no french!!...........I did not know that' But I'm not surprised at all !!

[frenchmon]

Winston, have you had a chance to sit back and really listen to "Lady Day" on the "Water is Wide" CD? Man Billy has this rhythm thing using the brushes going on with the piano player while still keeping up with the bass player. Can you hear the high hats in your system? Its very faint but you should be able to hear them. Man Higgins proves that you don't have to be flat out burning the drums up to be good. His style on drums is so musical. That guy is just good. Let me know what you think.

Hello French. I must admit! Them BJs" sounds much better than the MPs, actually my speaker fronts are the (BJs new generation ® By Bel den BT500UP with locking banana) very nice cable I have been using them more than two years now! (But this is the first time I’m using the BJs" inter connects) and it is an improvement over the MPs" for sure to my old Ears! The music speeds up” which sounded much better, more body and a sort fullness overall, (in other words I could hear your Boy take a Phartz!!??) with the addition of these cables!!

But seriously Man! Billy Higgins was a force to Recon With in that form" of Drumming!!
I played that track # 9 about 10 times.

Yes Sir' (high hats) was Pumping out of my Beta-50s big time.

Winston my man...Got another one for you. IF you can, check out the Cyrus Chestnet CD "Cyrus Chestnut" My man Higgins and Lewis Nash are on the drums, with James Carter and Joe Lovno on sax and Ron Carter on Bass, and even the great Anita Baker sing a few tunes. And if you know anything about Chestnut...he is a master in his own right...a throw back to the pioneers.

frenchmon

[jrhymeammo]

Joe Puma - Shining Hour.
Kenny Burrell - All Day Long & All Night Long

Nothing specially, but whenever I can't decide what to listen to, I always pull one out. Actually, they are pretty damn good.

hey frenchmon back at you man!!
Cyrus Chestnut” Trio….. “French” I was introduce to this piano man in 2000 in a real funny way!! My wife’s mom gave me this Cyrus chestnut CD as a Christmas gift (A Charlie brown Christmas) deep down I thought it was one of them Christmas coral effort” the truth is I never heard of the guy before, man I so put this thing away. A few days later I got the call??!! Asking” do you like the CD we gave you “Yes sure” that’s when I picked it up” I saw names like (Vanessa Williams, Brian McKnight, The Manhattan Transfer, and The Boys’ choir of Harlem) all on this CD , to make a long story short

The man’s a genius on the piano”.. with out a doubt Cyrus Chestnut may-be the best jazz Pianist of his generation!!,
After the Charlie brown saga” I collected (Soul Food and genuine Chestnut CDs) but I will be getting that collaboration that you mentioned with Higgins, Lewis Nash, Ron Carter, James Carter and Anita Baker soon. "Heads up"

[winston]

Joe Puma - Shining Hour.
Kenny Burrell - All Day Long & All Night Long

yeah" Love Kenny Burrell especially The Kenny Burrell and John Coltrane, years" they did a lot of good work together!! Stuff that you could always pull one out with your eyes closed and be happy with the results!! great Musician..... for A guitar line up with the "Professor" that's A very very short list.
