He had one of the hardest jobs in Jazz. It takes a special kind of ear, a shit ton of experience and education and a willingness to do a unheralded thankless job. He was a legend at that.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
I stumbled upon this Free Jazz joint yesterday locally... Art Ensemble of Chicago - Phase One LP (Prestige Jazz) 1973 RE of 1971 Recording ^A mere 14 bones, and the record was in great shape so I'm smiling. Some very sonically pleasing with moments of joyful dissonance. Internal journey music. Like many Free Jazz albums these are 2 long songs one on each side so you are committedby rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

^Special thanks to LM for this recommendation... QuoteLionsMouth ^Connectors At $2.50 per gold plated heavy duty RCA adapter the deal was too good to pass up.

Sorry it didn't work out the way you wanted, but that's a hell of a way to get your answer. Thanks again for following up here for the next guy who will ask, we aim to be a resource and you followed thru nicely.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

I just learned a helpful little trick recently that I wanted to pass along to my fellow phone zombies. Turn off your phone for 1 hour each night after work. Just press the power button and forget about the thing. Delay all social media, texting, calls, emails and general correspondence for one hour. Use that time to listen to music without distraction, build with family and friends faby rchecka - General Discussion

^Good words Isaac! it's always great to hear people's personal introductions to Hip Hop, I knew you were an old school head but never the personal connection. My first personal connection with Hip Hop ever was the first time I heard Rappers Delight on my old Sesame Street record player when I was a little kid. I heard Good Times by Chic before and I instantly knew it was somethingby rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
