:weird: What is going on!? Some guy the next town over (about 15 minutes from me), who doesn't belong to any audio forums or anything just gave me 100 records from the 50s and 60s and box sets!!!! I pick them up tonight!! He says, none are mint or anything (who cares, I have Xena like skills in that area). He said there are no classics such as Stones or Cream or what have you, just other artists such as Dean Martin. Sounds to me like there could still be some little surprises in there. He says they aren't sorted or anything (half the fun is sorting through records, so who cares). WOW! I wonder if this will keep up for a little while? I'm going to give the guy something for all them records even if I only end up keeping 20 or 2 or whatever. Got to return the Karma baby!:D Whatever I don't end up keeping will go to a record store or someone who wants them, gratis. That's how I roll = Share the music, not sell the music.
 
That's sweet! Hopefully there are some hidden gems in there. You could always list what you don't want here. I'm sure there are a few around that would gladly take them off your hands.
 
Congratulations Eric. Looks like someone will be having some fun soon. Enjoy.

There are a few good ones in there. Give those Wes Montgomery albums a listen, that's good stuff there. :)[/QUOTE

Oh, too late, their gone. When it comes to Jazz I much prefer Bebop, Improve and Jazz Rock over the other sub-genres. When I saw the first We Montgomery album I thought to myself, "this might be good....maybe". Then I noticed the other ones and saw that one had lots of violins, violas, Cello, etc. on it and thought, "what?, not in my Jazz man." So I thought it was not the styles I like. I might have been wrong, but that's the chance I took. My problem is that in Jazz, I know what I like when I hear it, but I couldn't tell you who the artists is just by listening or memory. I would like some education on that later. ~Eric

There are so many of the same musicians playing on everyone else's albums that it is hard to differentiate between them. Some of the earlier Herbie Hancock stuff sounds like Miles Davis, etc...
 
Too bad he didn't have this one in the mix....

"Love-Italian Style" ...Are you kidding.... I can verify....That is one of the all time greats. :heart:
 
Love Italian Style = one of the all time greats? I may be a passionate lover of music and all, but that doesn't imply that I know it all. I've never even heard of it, how was I supposed to know that? Didn't sound like something I would enjoy judging by the title and description, could have been wrong. (Yeah, I'm the guy who reads all of the cover, liner notes, etc.) ~Eric
