Jazz for aficionados

Welfare invites fraud everywhere.

Why can't we live together? An idea that came and went; the current prevalent thinking is to stay "Locked and Loaded"

He is a technical virtuoso and, IMHO, the best sax player alive today.  

I found some in Scottish Gaelic , her native tongue and to my ears , the most beautiful one in the world .

Mary Joe, funny, always thought that Van Halen is your favourite player.

"Here’s another superb instrumental track, this time from the jazz saxophonist lovingly known as Trane. Somewhat of a musical odyssey, Acknowledgement forms the first part of the artist’s four-track magnum opus entitled A Love Supreme.

Drenched with emotion, this expressive, beautiful record skitters along intensely – representing the artist’s personal struggle for purity. On a technical level, it’s also perfect. Created as a deeply spiritual piece of work, Coltrane’s avant-garde styling set an indomitable precedent for not only jazz, but artistry in general." ~ source pure.com

Attacking Russia, as I stated in my original post, was their biggest mistake. For all intents and purposes Germany lost the war on 22 June 1941 although it took 4 more years.

...

Adolf Hitler had predicted that Russia would fold and Germany would win by the end of September. Adolf Hitler was wrong. He and his intelligence staff underestimated the Soviet Unions strength in man power and industrial capacity.

The Soviet Union continued to "grow" army’s and stack them in front of the Germans. 

...

We all are in debt to the Soviet Union which bore the brunt of the full might of the German Army and bled them white before we landed on Normandy on 6 June 1944 to open the second front.

Life is too short and there are very few people here already, it would be shame if we destroy such a fragile coexistence between very different people and peronalitys.

While you saw them in that neighborhood, and it’s possible to have seen a Lamborghini in that neighborhood, it didn’t belong to a "welfare recipient", a dope dealer most likely; he’s someone who couldn’t make it on Wall Street and chose the Black mans path to riches.

I want to thank all the people for their off topic comments. Without them I would have never known that people are selfish and will manipulate others for power and wealth.

Lessons learned from Griffith v Paret III continue in the sport to this very day but are a stark reminder of a situation escalating in a split-second and just how dangerous the sport can become between two warriors. ~ source WBN, World Boxing News

One I used to sing to my kids.

I’ve decided to wade into the political comments.

Late one night, a burglar broke into a house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through the living room but suddenly he froze in his tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is watching you!"

Silence returned to the house, so the burglar crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you," the voice boomed again.

The burglar stopped dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a bird cage and in the cage was a parrot.

He asked the parrot: "Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?"

"Yes", said the parrot.

The burglar breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the parrot: "What’s your name?"

"Clarence," said the bird.

"That’s a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"

The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the Rottweiler Jesus.

Edith Piaf: Diva indeed.

Laughing here. Don’t worry Your Highness, I won’t attack Croatia. Not that they don’t deserve it, but out of respect for the Queen of Jazz.

I am a big movie collector myself and some of the greatest releases are black and white.

After sobering up, members read what they have written, then delete it.

All together now,  "THANK YOU BLUE NOTE"!!!!

Betty Carter:

Her version of "Favorite Things" is now one of my favorite things. I liked all three songs.  You have to 'listen' to her music.  I would imagine it's not easy to play in the group backing her.

Anyway, I wanted to say something similar to what many of you have already said. Daring lady she is for sure. Somebody commented under her Favourite Things clip: „she is kneading that popular song like it's pizza dough“

Still laughing here.

In other words, “cool”; as distinguished from the harder edged, grittier and generally more aggressive quality of Hard Bop which was and is more prevalent in the East Coast.

No success on the movie soundtracks; kind of hard to find a soundtrack when you don’t remember the movie, never the less, what I found is pretty good.

I am thinking what to write to make Texas man, little bit angry... :p ;--)

''I started to change my material to keep the musicians interested,'' Ms. Carter said in a 1992 interview with The New York Times.

Ms Dozier reminds me of another quirky singer, Betty Carter .

Ms. Carter sounded like no one in jazz, with her own diction, her own phrasing and her own sense of pitch. ~ source nytimes.com
