For those looking to buy a new PC laptop, there are two new heavyweights about to be released. The Asus C90 laptop is the first truly DIY laptop, supporting Core 2 Duo Extreme DESKTOP processors. It's easy to customize on your own, like a desktop unit would be, with easy acess to all the main hardwa...

I know mostly his ballad and his softer Jazz playing. I don't think I have ever heard him play music that would be 'good for Lindy Funny, most of the stuff I've heard has been pretty hot. Haven't heard much of the Miller stuff though. I'm sure like many musicians he had different periods of style b...

Bobby Hackett

He's got a lot to wade through, and very few definitive collections that I can tell (save the Mosaic set), and a LOT of live album material. Just wondering what people own already and love and would recommend. For the record, I've heard some of the Roosevelt Grille recordings with Vic Dickenson, and...

You would have had to have read the thread to have gotten the joke, but you made it funnier regardless.

You're a moron! You'd better get yourself on a laptop this instant or I'm going to take your lunch money and throw you in your locker!

Good luck with that skinny boy. :)

I'm not going to pretend I actually read this thread past the first few posts. That said, I still use discs becuase I have no reason except DJ'ing to buy a laptop. I never buy laptops because I tend to buy high end desktops due to my profession and needs, and laptops just don't cut it for me in the ...

Which Jazz Musician are You?

I put this on Yehoodi too but thought I might as well put it here too. I created this "personality" test that tells you what Jazz Musician you most relate to. It's by no means comprehensive or meant to be taken seriously. That said, enjoy wasting 2 minutes of your life on the product of my...

Post here to discuss and give your alternatives / other favorites. Personally, Trumpet is often my thing outside of the rhythm section.
