No one posts in here that much anymore...

I've stated how big a fan I am of Gilles Peterson. His newest project called Sonzeira (Portuguese for Killer Sound) drops May 19th.

Nice... I have the Astrud and Coltrane Ballads on vinyl too!  

What kind of decks do you use?

 

[omgitswes]

I just have a basic standalone turntable for now. Going to get a new setup once I get settled into my new place. I need to research turntables more before I buy one too

Nina Simone - My Baby Just Cares For Me & He Needs Me

April 21st marked the 11th anniversary of her death. RIP.

Are direct-drive turntables still the way to go nowadays?  I have a couple of Technics 1200's... can't go wrong with classics!

I don't think you can go wrong with a direct drive or belt drive although I think serious audiophiles tend to go with belt drive turntables.

History of Jazz Piano

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - City Living

Something new... More funk than jazz, but oh well.

Do you guys play any instruments? I want to start piano lessons again

Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax (Been though) French Horn

Those are what I can play right or whatever.

I can play other woodwinds and other brass instruments with a little practice.

I want to take piano classes for production.

In high school (which was a while back), alto sax mostly, but also a bit of tenor and baritone.  Tried a bit of soprano, but it was just so hard to keep in-tune... I wasn't good enough anyway! 

Learned a bit of piano/electronic organ when I was in grade-school, but never continued.  

I've posted this a few times, but seems relevant!  



More Samba... hey it's a World Cup year!
