  1. I have Real Book books 1-4 on Kindle. Is it possible to load the into Unreal book?
  2. I enjoy listening to and playing I'm in love with my future and I love you, but that's the limit I can tolerate.
  3. Zealous gig a few years ago
  4. Boo boo, our neighborhood bear, and Eddie the cat doing what he does best.
  5. Taxachusetts-- the pay me state! Yes, twice annually there is tax free weekend.
  6. I bought it at 224. It does not appear Amazon has a price matching policy so I could package it up and return it and re-purchase it, but I bought it on Massachusetts tax-free weekend so it would be a wash.
  7. This reminds me of my college days when I majored in music and chemistry (don't ask) and we were studying Mozart. I appreciate what a genius he was but couldn't understand why I did not enjoy his music. I found it tedious and repetetive. I thought there was something wrong with me and kept buying new records (long before CD and streaming) still couldn't enjoy it. I realized in the classical world I love Bach and the Romantic composers, but not much in between. I accepted my somewhat aberrant tastes and moved on. As far as Keith Jarrett, he is one of my favorite jazz musicians. I particularly love his Standards recordings and The Melody at Night, with You. The more avant garde stuff is amazing from a spontaneous composition perspective, but I need to be in a certain mood to enjoy it.
  8. Broke down and bought it the last minute of Massachusetts tax-free weekend. Do I need it? No, but couldn't pass it up. I'll find a use for it!
  9. ESQ-1 was my first poly synth (Korg MS20 was my first synth). I loved the sequencer on it, so easy to use although it quantized too much to allow a decent jazz bass line. After hearing the Joey D series on the EPS16+ at Chuck Levin's I bought that piece on the spot!
  10. I plan to live forever... so far, so good --Stephen Wright
  11. I wonder why the mac/pc version is so much cheaper than the ios.
  12. https://medicotopics.com/don-baldini-bassist-passed-away-cancer/ I met Don last Spring when he had a gig with some friends of mine. He was so kind and humble and had endless incredible stories about his tenure with Harry James, Frank Sinatra, Tonight Show, etc. I asked him if he would come to my house to play and he graciously agreed but I regret I never got around to calling him. I'm grateful that I did have the chance to meet him.

  13. In defining smooth jazz I'm reminded of Chief Justice Stewart's definition of pornography "I know it when I see it". When I surf stations and encounter smooth jazz, my response is "wow, these musicians sound great, why do I hate this so much?... oh it's smooth jazz." BTW, I was late teens/early 20's when Dave Grusin, Jeff Lorber, Tom Scott, Lee Rit became active and I loved the stuff then, not so much now. I did see Jeff Lorber play at Toad's Place; great show. I do appreciate the Richard T influence on Dave's electric grand solo.
  14. I would have kept Clifford Brown, Richie and Nancy Powell from driving that fateful night.
  15. I cannot comment on the virtual analog aspects of the stage but I concur on the White Grand which I use on my NP3. For me it is the best virtal AP I have ever played. It crosses the critical threshold from "I can tolerate this sound" to "I love this sound".
