Of course, there are no end to the experts in the music world. As I mentioned, one of the biggest places to find lists of all kinds is Amazon.com. Who are these people? Then again, who am I? I’m a guy who answered an ad he found online and now I am considered an expert […]
Looking around for lists has been an interesting experience. It seems that people truly love lists and there are an endless number of people willing to write them. At the same time, I began to wonder. I began to wonder if there was someone out there to definitively declare what they felt was the “Greatest […]
Let’s be upfront about things. As I write this, I am 36-years-old. I am not of the age where I should be having so many “senior moments” like I am having now. At the same time, I have written so many posts here, it is only a matter of time before I start repeating myself. […]
Finding jazz on the radio has become a very difficult thing. Essentially, if you want to listen to grea jazz music, you need to listen online or to your own CDs or maybe your MP3 player. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but I am a guy who still enjoys actual radio shows. This […]
It’s actually become quite fun to track down the many “Best of” lists that have started to pop up. It’s also interesting to note that there seem to be quite a few Best of Jazz lists and they tend to have various and slightly different selections. I guess this is a really good thing. It […]
I think I have found my calling when it comes to these end-of-year lists that everyone wants to do. Since I feel it is unfair to try and put together a list myself as I have not come nearly close enough to listening to all of the music that was released in 2007, I am […]
I was rooting around on MySpace, becuase I do that as you know, and I came across a site and immediately checked it out. I was totally digging the music and everything and immediately thought about directing the people who come to this site to it. Then I had to pause. Did I already direct […]
Its another freezing cold day here in Chicago and the entire city is waiting to awaken encased in ice by tomorrow morning. That means it was tough to drag my sorry flabby behind to the computer to write tonight. You know what that means, right? Yes, it means taking the easy way out and going […]
It has been well established here that I am a fan of the horn when it comes to jazz. That is true, for the most part. I love a good Monk piano piece or perhaps Keith Jarrett or Herbie Hancock. However, I would rather listen to Miles or Charlie or Dizzy and that’s just my […]
Earlier in the week I talked about an article on Amazon.com that purported to be the best blues albums of 2007. Of course, there is also a list of the supposed best jazz albums of 2007 there as well.
In theory, I should have my own list. I have some problems with that, though. I am […]
