I get a kick out of the Area 51 references that are permeating high-end gaming machines (HP's "Blackbird" joining Alienware's "Area 51", "Aurora", etc.), but does the target demo get the references? I can't imagine too many 15 - 24 year olds are well versed in Skunk Works history. But then, at $6,500 a pop, maybe it's not kids who are doing the buying . . .

New Old Music
- B00000HYIH:
Gerry Mulligan Quartet: Dream a Little Dream
Still some sparks left but definitely Jeru feeling his age. A gentle tribute to songs and arrangers that inspired Mulligan throughout his career.Art Pepper: Smack Up
Boy, Pepper can play! His work from the Contemporary Records sessions is so sharp - amazing. Definitely my favorite alto sax player at the moment (sorry, Cannonball)Toots Thielemans: The Brasil Project
A jazz harmonica player from Belgium deeply in touch with the soul of Brazilian music - a testament to the universal nature of music.
