O-10:
The Wikiman has long been accepted, and established, by popular consensus, as the go-to guy for all things music on Audiogon. Therefore, he can NEVER be wrong, or at least he can NEVER admit it, without losing some of luster off his reputation.
So quite naturally, all the members(audiophiles) support him. He's one of them. He can even hear wire. Which is even more amazing than his nonsensical pronouncements on the origins of Jazz. I think we should just understand all this and move on.
We know the truth and we have spoken it. All the Wikiman knows is what he learned in school. We should not blame him, people go to school to learn. The problem is, he never saw the larger picture, or the proper context of what he was being taught.
I think our school was a little different. We learned the official line, and lived and experienced the real line.
Jazz anyone?
O-10, you never said if Trombone Shorty was playing Jazz or not.
Cheers

The last one was funny. Ray Brown wiping away the sweat BEFORE keeping up with Peterson on a number. He probably needed to do it again afterwards. ;^)
Even Peterson was in a sweat trying to keep up with Peterson. I think the overall effect is much better when he has drums in the group. Hell, even a horn or two. Cheers |
Btw, you really think Corea will be forgotten before McBride (great as he is)...if ever? Not a chance.
In some circles. Yes. Cheers |

Cal Tjader:
Cal plays music for stressful times; when I listen to his music, I drift off to a better time and place, I hope you have the same experience.
I have one CD by Tjader, 'Soul Sauce', I think I played it once. As I recalled it was not what I was expecting. I guess the cover with a picture of a meal with a bottle of hot sauce led me to expect something else. I will give it another listen. Cheers |

Good one Acman3,
You may have found the answer.
Cheers |
I think The Frogman missed his calling. Anyway, I put my LPs in the fancy 'audiophile' sleeves. Not sure they are even paper. UGH, the thought.
Cheers |
The Queen cannot be using the common toilet paper of the common people as if she were a mere commoner!! Royal wipes are on the way. Just 'hold' on.

I think I have just ruined my previous post with the last one.
Royal Prerogative. Cheers You dreamers do realize the smog in LA was so bad back then, the haze is what you were seeing. |

Jimmy & Wes:
Very nice, I am just becoming aware of how much Jimmy Smith I don't have. Have to remedy that.
Cheers |
Toilet paper has never reached St Louis. That's why they don't notice the shortage.
Cheers |
and probably best to be leave others out of your diatribes.
Diatribes??? More like facts. And you did say you agreed 100%.

Stolen Moments:
The winner is 'Abstract Truth'.
Dinah Washington: Maybe the most unique and instantly recognizable voices in the business. Love everything she does. She, with brook Benton, on my F-150 playlist.
Cheers |

First time around, She sings, what a difference a day 'made' and later, what a difference a day 'makes', and lastly what a difference a day 'made'. Is that the way the song is written?
A lot of singers screw this up. Some even say, what a difference a day 'make'. I cringe.

Jimmy Smith "Movin' on":
I have this CD. The ones I don't have are "The Sermon" and "Prayer Meeting". I am sure I have them on LP, but that doesn't count these days.
"These Sellers" have cornered the market on some of his stuff on Amazon. 900 dollar CD anyone???
Cheers |
Paquito / Poncho:
Nice and smooth as a gentle summer breeze. The Cuban contribution to, and influence on Jazz, is real.
Cheers |

The Twist:
Along with The Slop,(the one I mastered) the two most eqalitarian dances ever devised. Anyone can do them.

Roy Hamilton:
Never knew what box to put him in. Great voice but, eclectic output.

could this portend to our future? It could be, unless someone starts paying attention to the effect all these 'measures' are having on the economy. Herd Immunity might be the last resort. Otherwise we will survive just to stand in the soup line. Cheers |

Xavier Cugat:
The Andre Rieu of Latin Music? Not sure how much of a legitimate example he is of Cuban music. Not sure he is even Cuban.
Why does he have so many LP covers with babes in underwear and swim wear? Says, 'American / European' market to me.
Cheers

Well, as is always the case, The Frogman is correct. This statement might be sort of hmmmmmmmmmm
Actually, all Jazz does.
Cheers |
Questions to The Frogman:
What would be the equivalence in American Jazz of ’Clave’ and ’Son’?
Cheers

You can't get food or toilet paper, but kool-aid seems to be in plentiful supply.

I think it comes with age, kind of like arthritis.
Comes from noise exposure. Just saying. Stay away from those electric guitars, and all those soundscapes. Remember what the Bible says. Cheers |

Questions to The Frogman:
What does the phrase "Conductor's Intervention" mean? Google is useless. It seems to mean the Conductor steps in and takes charge, during the performance, which I thought he did from the beginning.
Thanks

See you guys later, I'm on my way to Zagreb.

Music education:
As the great NY Giant and Dallas Cowboy football coach, Bill Parcells said, "you are what your record says you are.
If a Jazz player made it big in NYC, LA, Chicago, and Europe without education or practice, and signed with one of the great Jazz labels, such as Blue Note, Columbia, Impulse, Verve, Riverside etc... good for them. They beat all the odds. I can't name any.
More than likely, they either stayed in smaller local markets, signed with smaller labels, if any at all, and eventually fell under the relentless logic of The Frogman's First Law.
This applies to ANY artist, in ANY Artistic endeavor.
As Bird himself points out, even Einstein had to go to school.

"Elevator to the Gallows" the French movie with soundtrack by Miles, is on TCM tonight 11:00pm cst.
