Hi John. You never cease to amaze me with your insight and clarity. The new DVD is terrific. My question is, do you have any favorite John Von Ohlen, Shelly Manne, or Jake Hanna recordings to recommend?

He said you may know the value or can direct me to someone who my be interested in purchasing vintage Avedis Zilgin Cymbals. They are as follows: 2- 14 inch High Hats - 1- 15 inch Crash - 1 16 inch ride.Mint Condition..no cracks... Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Mint
