I like me some Ellis, but really. … a father of New Orleans jazz would be older still than he, in my estimation.* Persons born back before the beginning of the 20th century. . . as the first jazz recordings were done 100 years ago!
lonson saidFather to Wynton, Bradford, Delfeayo, Jason. All still playing jazz and all but Wynton still playing live on a regular basis in New Orleans. Until recently you could take a class at Tulane or the University of New Orleans with Dr. Marsalis as the professor. Also understand he's been a major influence and mentor to many younger New Orleans players like Terrance Blanchard through his playing and teaching at the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music (yes named after him).I like me some Ellis, but really. … a father of New Orleans jazz would be older still than he, in my estimation.* Persons born back before the beginning of the 20th century. . . as the first jazz recordings were done 100 years ago!
- If you listen to Jelly Roll Morton HE invented jazz, period. He certainly was a strong early contributor.
P.S. The one time when literally meant literally.
Well I know full well who he is and who his sons are. . . Just thought you were saying he was one of the “fathers of New Orleans jazz” that is one of the founding fathers.
Right now

Haven’t meet anyone that I’ve played this for that didn’t like it. Glorious sound too!
Disc 2 of 3 of the latest Sony SACD release of Lotus. Incredible packaging! Excellent sound.
Miles Davis, “Circle in the Round” Sony DSD remastered LP facsimile 2 cd set.
Great collection of material. I have the US 2 LP set but listen to this Sony 2 cd set more often. It is a lovely reproduction of the original release.
cerobo saidTell us more. What do you think, especially of the performance?
amsco15 - ditto. Shockingly good sounding LP - independent of the perfect music.
Just listened to this old single-layer Kind of Blue SACD from 1997. Some people don’t care for it but it sounds amazing on my burned-in DSD and DMP.
Playing a couple of hi-res Wav formatted albums on the DMP. Learning as I go, tried USB sticks and also copying to DVDr discs. They sound nice.
One of my favorite Barney Wilen dates, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder for Venus Records, on SACD.
This date has a few alternate covers, all lovely.
The beautiful gal featured is Wilen’s long time companion Marie Moor.
Time for another excellent Wilen release.

Broke a banana connector on the amp end of my speaker cables (Morrow SP5s). The BHK 250’s speaker terminals and the Morrow bananas are not a good match.
Were you aware that the Classic 250 binding posts are made to lock onto bananas? You twist counter-clockwise to open the hole and then clockwise to lock them down. I only discovered that after trying to force a banana plug in.
Wish this copy weren’t quite as worn as it is as there’s so much space and “air” to breathe on these recordings. Wonderful stuff. Wonderfully engineered as well.
“Pee Wee Russell and the Rhythm Cats” The Complete 1938 Rhythm Cats Transcriptions, Shoestring Records. “Good old good ones” played by a great band (Ernie Caceras!)

Ouch! That’s obviously not supposed to happen. Mine worked fine once I figured out how the binding posts worked. I did get spades when I got new speaker cables (the Iconoclasts) but not because I had problems with the prior bananas.
