You are completely right...
it takes me thirty five years to know why i disliked jazz for the first thirty five years of my life ... ... 😁 And for education , you are wrong though... Most of the times what we dont like reflect our own ignorance... It was the case with me at least ... 😊 We must learn how to hear and how to listen not as a child only but even also as adult... We grow all our life ... Education all our life ... if not we will call what we hate a result of "our taste" instead of reflecting our own limitations. and we will make our ignorance appear as a free choice...

@mahgister - you may be right, but what does education have to do with liking or not liking jazz? As for hating music, I agree - I don't see the point; people can listen to what they like and avoid what they don't - it's not difficult. People like different things, and it's not necessarily a 'learned' condition - people are individuals with their own brains and their own tastes. You can't make somebody like something they don't. |

Now compare this sayings about sounds and music with the greatest researcher on artificial brain, a deep genius if i know one,( a clue to compare these two gentlemaN : Quantum clock unlike mechanical clock are like musical instruments ) : «Dr. Anirban Bandyopadhyay is a materials scientist based in Japan, is world’s leading quantum tunneling researcher, and a leading expert on consciousness from a Vedic as well as quantum neuroscience perspective. He has designed and implemented an artificial brain. He has published and edited over 15 books. In the classical world we could walk along a path, look at the trees, houses and animals. If there are trenches, we cross them by making bridges, we could even jump. As soon as the world is changed into a Quantum one, the road disappears, only the thin lines remain, where we could run run and run. Except those scary lines, outside we have deep trenches. We cannot jump, cant make bridge, only disappear on one path and reappear on the other. The trees do not appear as a whole, some parts of the tree here and some parts there. My body experiences the same. In this world, we have only one hope, rhythms or time cycles, classical clocks have vanished and given us clocks that allows me to vibrate within and generate many cycles of time, one for one path and the other clock structure for another. This unique kalchakra is the prescription for our journey in the world, its a mode of communication and managing those clocks is the management of survival. This was a Vedic wisdom adopted in the Quantum universe.»

Now it will be a very deep but hard to understand video but it is the work of the Indian genius who the first create an artificial brain on a completely different concept of the brain... I will let you discover why the music experience go so deep in each of us and help us to synchronize ourself with ourself and with others... If you want to completely understand this video order the book " nanobrain" written by the speaker here: |
Why do people hate jazz ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlkhkF3etWo
Rick Beato discuss it and he is himself a pro musician... What struck me here is that the same question can be ask for classical music or any genre out of the commercial music window ... Why people hate chinese music ? Why people hate Persian music ? Why people hate Indian music ?
It is because liking something is most of the times a LEARNED condition... As Beato observed, there is more jazz lovers proportionately in Europe and in asia than in North America... The reason is also in my opinion based on the more complete destruction of general education in America... Most people do not even know how to hear and listen... They dont know how to see ... All this must be learned... Education is now the brain formating of well trained specialized ignorant robot... it begin long ago by some corporate decision not by collective democratic educated decision ... Read history...The same happened to medecine ...But all that is not in my thread goal to discuss... I accepted documentary videos here not political stance, i apologize to you all and to the OP... I know that he is not very patient... 😁 |
I recommend this unusual book about a legendary movie editor and his ideas about the solar system... Is the solar system more "organized" than we think ? 😁😊 Here an article resuming it all ... https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2017/02/24/516985499/a-film-editor-in-the-land-of-astrophysicists Here a 2 hours interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gPE5TXUJ_c For those who think that the universe has nothing to do with sound , here two serious articles to read : https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371724212_A_Single_Field_Model_of_the_Universe https://www.researchgate.net/publication/352564061_Why_Not_a_Sound_Postulate
Sound is no less fundamental than light, and as said St. John : in the beginning is the logos, ( the verb, the sound , the voice ) or in english translation : "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"
Audiophiles underestimate acoustic.... Physicist too.... Neurologists? But Mystics and poets and musicians not at all... |

Here’s a great little video that posted today, in which Kenny Vaughan speaks to Otis Gibbs about Levon Helm. Kenny is the guitarist in my current favorite band---The Fabulous Superlatives, Marty Stuart's band, and Levon was of course the drummer/singer in my all-time favorite band, The Band.

Geez, it’s been only one day, and I have to recommend this video about Jim Gordon in place of the one above. Please do yourself a HUGE favour and watch it, it is truly incredible. It is an interview with Joel Selvin, longtime music writer for The San Francisco Chronicle, and author of several books. including an upcoming one on Gordon, due out next year. In this one hour seven minute interview (you can skip past the opening bs), you will learn about not just one of the greatest drummers of all time (Derek & The Dominos’ organist/songwriter/singer Bobby Whitlock considers him THE greatest), but about the inside story on the L.A. music scene in the 1960’s, including in the studio details you’ve never heard before (Gordon became a full-time professional studio musician at the age of 17!). The list of songs he was the drummer on is absolutely staggering, and you will hear about them---and much more---in this video. I became aware of Jim Gordon upon hearing Dave Mason’s "Only You Know And I know", which contains one of the best drum parts I’ve ever heard. But believe me, this video is NOT just for drummers!

«Let your eyes catch the sound then you will finally understand»--Zen master in the opening words of this documentary ...
This documentary is about a completely original composer and multi-instrumentist recoreded with more than 20 albums on ECM... Stephen Micus... He sing often in his albums but only in a language he designed to do so and plays all instruments , sometimes not very well known one.... Fascinaqting journey in the core of music by a pilgrim very different than many other musicians... |
Live version, but cuts the 'roach rant'.... The singers, Flo & Eddie, used to be part of the Lovin' Spoonful....*mock tsk* Boyz be boyz, and then some.... |
Happy to oblige, @mahgister ....good friend... ;) |

I learned surprized, i learn slowly that Indian music in his long historical form is not inferior to European classical music or to jazz but different and very complex... My entry level was with this master revered as one of the gods of Indian classical music...

Thanks for your appreciation... This video interested me a lot because all microphones designer were also headphones designer...But the reverse is not always true... 😊 My best headphone the AKG K340 come from a company that with Neuman let his name in microphone design... I admire a lot the K340 patent of Dr. Gorike one of the AKG founder who designed the K340... He was an applied physicist by formation as were Dr. Choueiri in my above post about BACCH filters... Microphone is a reverse headphone and/or vice versa... 😁

I am working hard on this matter because this (making Hi-Fi audio a natural sound) could stop people's merry-go-round gear upgrade and audiophiles don't have to be lonely anymore. Alex/Wavetouch |
I was very impressed by his bio and documentary... I discovered his music 2 years ago... And as you i sense a great soul not only a top guitarist... Thanks for your story...

Studying with Martino was amazing. We scheduled the lesson for one hour but usually ran it to two. He was very interesting to listen and ask questions of. I taped all our lessons. I went 9 times. In 2017 he played in Denver (where I live) and I went up to him after the show. I was amazed he remembered me. What a lovely soul. A deep soul. RIP. |
