Straight Talk with Jack Graham - Invidious

Straight Talk with Jack Graham

Are you tired of all the baloney? You need straight talk with Jack Graham.

I'm Jack - born and lived in the NYC area and was professional musician for 20+ years. I've spent decades chasing the essential jazz albums on vinyl and CD, the great reissues, and the pressings actually worth your money.This channel gives vinyl collectors honest, no-hype buying guides: Blue Note albums, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, best-sounding audiophile pressings, originals vs. reissues, and what to buy - and what to skip.If you love jazz vinyl, vinyl records, and building a collection that sounds great, subscribe for weekly videos. Leave a comment - which record should I cover next?
