John Coltrane “Lush Life” - my first jazz album. I became obsessed with this wonderful art. At least 50 times or more I used to cherish and listen to every single recording I purchased but now the CDs I buy are immediately stored in my computer and unless I really like the music it is buried unheard in the abyss of gigas.

This blog is my personal project to rediscover that first joy and give more attention and respect to the music I already have and might buy in the future. The recent discovery of the great ALAC sound quality is another reason that inspired this blog because my collection has been ripped at 120kbps. However, if I were to re-rip my entire music in ALAC it would take an enormous amount of disk space so I am storing it in a share server.

Please understand that this blog is not to facilitate or promote piracy. It is to personally archive my collection from scratch and develop an easier and cooler looking way for referencing; cognitively connecting to the music and associated information (artists, recording dates, song titles, etc.). You are welcome to download and listen to what I have only if you are planning to purchase it when you like it. Unlike pop stars, jazz musicians are stuck in the financially struggling status quo despite their much higher supremacy in mastering and executing the art of music so please support them by buying their recordings.

It would be really nice to hear what you think about the music. Please comment, anything, in any language, please. Since I myself am also a jazz musician (tenor saxophone as you may glean from my collection), musically detailed comments related to musicians, theoretical information, equipment or recordings would be really helpful.
