Which is rather unfortunate because right now I think this is exactly the type of music that I derive the most enjoyment from, by far! So, would anybody care to suggest some classic CDs of the "New Orleans" jazz genre? I can't exactly afford to go out and buy 100s of CDs, so just the ones that I really can't afford to miss, that have the least amount of filler on them please. Thanks! |

They are the real deal: http://store.preservationhall.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=4 Ed, Thanks for the tip on the Marantz CD changer. I've been quite pleased with it. |

I've been playing with the idea of getting another one, just for headphone use this time. Wish it was a single disk player though, the 4300 takes up a lot of space which I no longer have... |

That Marantz has all the detail but with a liquid smoothness - hard to beat for the money. I wish you the best on the Zen quest. Most folks in our culture are busy being busy and few take time to be. You can tune into frequencies that don't need hifi equipment! |
