What a great morning-coffee listen, thanks! Although everyone brought their "A game" for this one,  I especially appreciate being reminded of what a solid drummer Bill Stewart is.  Good stuff!

Waltz for Debby: Bill Evans Trio, Live at the Village Vanguard

This is my 300th post here, officially (I think) graduating me from "Junior Member" to Full Member status. It's taken me one month less than four years to get there...

It's appropriate that it's posting a Bill Evans recording here that hits the milestone: it's a wonderful performance, well-recorded, and acoustically satisfying, allowing my system's strengths to reveal those cues that can almost fool me into thinking that I'm in the Village Vanguard during the show (especially if the lights are low and either Laphroaig or Barrell Dovetail is involved).

I don't know why my pics are showing up so large.  This seems to be a recent phenomenon for me. If anyone can offer tips on how to make them in line with the others being posted, I'd be grateful.

Hey Jeff, Picture size is result of resolution/pixel count. Generally pixel count for posted pics is 500x500. Some of Azons go up to 1500x, and can be edited down pre-post, Discogs are 600x600. If you're taking the picture with a camera, regular or phone I'd guess it's at a higher resolution, which increases the pixel count & size when posted. I'm not seeing a means to resize once uploaded to AC, though there may be in the upload process, I don't remember since it's been a while. If not that would mean you would need to 'down-size' the file resolution prior to uploading with whatever photo software you may use. My cameras routinely take pics at 1200x768, or 1900x, I use my phone as a phone only. fwiw your pics are not overly large imo, obviously not to the point of over-loading the screen requiring the slide bars to view the entire pic and pushing the in-frame features buttons off-screen as sometimes happens in sundry posts.

It's likely not worth trying to change the camera resolution as you want the better pics for normal use. My friend and computer guru pointed me to a free-ware photo program, Photoscape (no affliiation), which I use on the occasions I need to resize something. I generally just use Discogs now that Amazon pics have gotten funky size-wise. Select the artist, album, stored photos, right click on the chosen pic gives you a fly-out, select "copy image link", back to AC post, hit the "image" button, Cntrl V, eh voila !  example -    If you do a quote of this post you'll see what it looks like.

Hope that helps some, and maybe answers a question or two. Keep 'em spinning Sir. - JD

Thanks much, Arthur. I just hit "quote" to see how it looks, as you suggested.  My process has been saving an image from an internet search to downloads on may Mac, then going through the upload and insert image process. I'll try the Discogs idea the next time I post an album (if I feel adventurous). I appreciate it!

p.s. Offramp might be my favorite Metheny album, and I have a whole bunch of them.
