I’m a big fan of Jazz music, but this one I’d pass on. It’s a snooze fest.

Thanks for your feedback John. What sort of jazz are you into? And do you have any recommendations? I’m constantly on the lookout for new great music 🙂

Thank you John!

The Trip is great so I expect the whole list to be up my alley. I’m going to give them a listen.

Since the guys from Stereo Haven visited our room at Axpona and Mike Pranka (US distributor of the JM Reynaud speakers we played on) gave me a copy of Ruben Wilson’s ‘Love Bug’, I’ve been into jazz.

Enjoy going through the list. Definitely some of my favorites of the many jazz albums in my collection.

You've inspired me to try 'Sunday at the Village Vanguard' again, as recommended by @Lego a few years ago. Previously, it was too much of a note jumble for my simple mind but really enjoyed it today. Think I'd like to get some more jazz too!

EDIT: Playing Monk now. I think the piano is slightly out of tune at times but it's fine cos I can hear that now and make sense of it. Whereas with previous systems, it all just sounded like a bloody racket.
