Thanks

Oscar and Joe Pass is great stuff. Been listening to a little Bill Evans lately my self, "Everybody Digs Bill Evans" and "Conversations with myself". Probably get some more today.

I am finding some very good Jazz and Blues on eMusic. Tons of blues, a little more looking around requied for Jazz. Lots of Monk is what got me to sign up. Been using it since Dec and there is still a big pile in my saved bin that I have yet to download, even at 75 tracks per month.

Two live recordings of the Bill Evans Trio that find them at THE TOP of their game:
Waltz for Debby
Sunday at the Village Vanguard

Waltz for Debby

I'll second the Sunday at the Village Vanguard

Here is where I find some great Jazz. I get their catalog every few months.
