The Prime Minister comes in about .50 , if you don’t hear his speech you are a fool . This statement is laughable. The entire world, and most of Canada thinks of this guy as a clown, which he is. All show, no substance. His always SAYS the right thing, but DOES absolutely nothing. When asked, after the third incident, how many times had he done this, he answered "I don’t remember." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NKCx7P_mpoSuggested internet searches: Trudeau in India (clown)---- Missing Indigenous women in Canada (ineptness) Reminds of that saying, They were born on third base, but thought they hit a triple. Third base is being next to the U.S.A. Cheers BTW, when they actually get the $40,000, PM me with the news. As if that excuses kidnapping and murder. And this was as late as 1990s. |
He ’s not his dad but, he has some of him, and that is enough for now to keep the oil companies of the world from
destroying him and killing us .
Informed sources say Fidel Castro is his daddy. Humans going extinct? Can you think of a more deserving species? Cheers |

Well, that was not the point I wanted to make. Go to the last few minutes of the clip. If would help if you listened with an open mind.

Rok, how many zero's is in $2.3 trillion?
12? What's this all about? Is this how much the Jazz Queen is worth? Cheers |
$2.3T is a bargain for that kind of infrastructure 😊.
The Frogman and I agree at last! Cheers |

Trying to stay away from politics, just a simple thought,,,if all that money was spent otherwise, I guess we would see less 'issues' than likes of the one that you have posted in that video on the previous page...
I used to think like that, I thought, boy, what they could have done with all that money, then, as I grew older and understood more, I learned that when the Policies, the programs, the weapon systems or the actions / 'excursions' disappear, so does the money that funds them. So if you want to help with the situation discussed in my clip, you would have to go to the congress and ask for $2.4 trillion to stop the migration of Africans / Muslims into Europe. ahahahahahahahahahahaha. Sorry. A spontaneous outburst. Cheers |
Either the concept of democracy is corrupt or worse, the humankind is.
We are surounded with hypocrisy, ignorance and silence on one side and with sheer greed for power and money on other and I am not optimist about possible changes that might solve any of those things
The whole point of the piece was this; When the TRUTH is no longer allowed to be spoken or heard, written or read, it's game, set, match. So, how do you enslave the world? First control the schools. Then the press / media / internet. Then destroy the meaning of the language. "The long march to the institutions." The writings(warnings) of George Orwell and Ayn Rand are no longer fiction. I think it was Lenin who said "The Capitalists will sell us the rope we hang them with." Cheers |
As the only REAL
Aficionado left on JFA, my take.
The Black and white performance was good, but seemed well rehearsed. Sort of MJQish. But no complaints.
The color version was more
boisterous
. More like Jazz's true element and spirit. Notice how when McLean turned to Griffin, Griffin was not ready. :) Loved that. Much better audience support. Neither can be faulted no matter how Snarky a snarky is, but I would rather have been at the color version.
I bet the B&W version was in Europe. Notice how Blakey's drum set grew from the B&W to the color. But more does not mean better.
Nice clips.
Cheers |
To quote the last remaining aficionado on JFA:
As always, The Frogman is precise and concise. :) Cheers |
The Frogman's First Law can not determine the Best, but it will narrow the field.
Here you are, all alleged Aficionados, talking about the best Trumpet player, and NO ONE has even mentioned Armstrong!!! Sad state of affairs. Sad.
The unwashed will decide who is best. They always do.
My vote: Armstrong or Harry "Sweets" Edison or Roy Eldridge or rok2id(most unappreciated of all time).
Cheers |
Jazz is not supposed to be something that’s required to sound like jazz.
Perhaps he should reconsider this statement. Cheers |
Easy, but probably foolish to question a genius on the very subject of his genius without digging a little deeper into the full meaning of something he has said.
Personally, I like showers ……and I don’t like lists 😊
He is not the only one to try and distance himself from Jazz. You put a microphone and camera on these guys and they all try to dis Jazz. Hell, makes me wonder why they didn't record for Deutsche Grammophon or Hyperion. Or better yet, why didn't the Berliners and Karajan ever do a session for Blue Note? I could explain all this, but in doing so, Miss Tammy would probably shut us down again. The one exception to this phenomenal
is Wynton. We should all be thankful that someone sure knew what they were doing when he got the job at Lincoln Center. Lists?? Read my post again. The word 'List' does not appear. You like showers? Great. The unwashed still rule!! Cheers |
*****
I think you miss the point…..surprising for the last remaining true JA. The point is that Jazz doesn’t always have to sound like a traditional form of Jazz….the way it is “supposed” to sound.*****
Sounds like you are putting words in his mouth.
*****
Break boundaries? Absolutely.*****
You break too many boundaries and you will find yourself outside the realm of Jazz. Then The Frogman's First Law comes into effect.
*****
It is an ever evolving art form.*****
There is a limit to how much a thing can evolve before it becomes something altogether different. They say Birds are
Dinosaurs, I won't argue, just try telling that to T-Rex.
Actually, I think they object to the word JAZZ, not
necessarily
the music Jazz. They don't like the history and / or origin of Jazz. If Jazz had been started with and by someone like Ornette Coleman in NYC, it would all be cool.

Some here seem to think I started listening to The Duke and Armstrong back in the 30s and 40s and got stuck and never left.
I started my Jazz journey with fusion. By journey, I mean buying records. At one time I had more ’Weather Report’ than ’Miles Davis’. More Al di Meola and Metheny than Coltrane. And just as much Lee Ritenour as Wayne Shorter. All on LP. My only Shorter LP was ’Atlantis’, recently posted.
Then along came CD, and everything got reissued, and I discovered REAL Jazz. With the help of Stereo Review.
So I went from the ’new’ stuff, back to the real stuff, which is what Shorter plays.
pjw, I loved your joke. Wagner and 'The Ring' is an interesting choice to start your Classical journey.
Cheers |
First of all, I am only commenting on what Shorter SAID in an interview as reported by you. Nothing I have said is meant to be a criticism of Shorter the Jazz artist. I have spent too much money on his recordings to even go there. Over the years, I have noticed a trend of Jazz greats, during interviews, to say in effect, they are much more than mere Jazz players. Including, if memory serves, The Duke himself. All of this to the delight of the interviewers. Does not happen in any other genre. Hmmmmm, makes a body wonder. I do not define Jazz. No one person does. The Jazz audience itself makes that definition. And when you leave the reservation, they call you out. Exhibt A: Miles Davis. That S**t Miles is playing ain’t Jazz - Wynton Marsalis. ***** “Bebop is Chinese music” - Louis Armstrong***** Your Point? hahahahahahaha Surely you are not challenging Pops!! One of my most recent, a twofer, Shorter and Wynton. "Contemplation" - Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis feat. Wayne Shorter 2CD set on Blue Engine Label. Highly recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1sWfVM3RJQCheers |

Wadada Leo Smith:
Played with Leo in High School. He was 1st Trumpet, I was 5th. I tried to tell the band director there was no such thing as 5th Trumpet. He said, "there is now." They were always jealous of me.
Leo is no longer in the same universe as Sousa. Wow!
His Dad was a very good Blues player.
Cheers |
Hahahahahahahah He had a lot more notes to play than I ever did.
I imagine the music business requires a great sense of humor and great patience.

Stuff like this is good reason for keeping a “quality” TT system if your own vintage leaves you with a good collection of vinyl
My Jazz collection on LP does not justify me getting back into vinyl. I have a lot of nice Classical stuff on LP, but I have already obtained the CD versions. I guess I'm just lazy. CD was a fantasy of mine before they ever appeared. Glad I lived to see it happen. Cheers |

rok, my spy told me China is afraid of these guys ?
Well, recently they have been going hand-to-hand at the border in the
Himalayas. China is in a very tough n eighborhood, and they don't have a lot of friends. Surrounded by countries with nuclear weapons and headed by Idiots, Dictators, and religious fanatics. Makes a body thankful for Mexico and Canada. :)
Cheers |
Maybe they are Audiophiles and got the urge to upgrade.

How do you get rid of the album images when you post a link? This is something new. Can it be defeated?
Cheers

The problem I see is when you post multiple links. I tried, and found I could play three tunes at the same time. ☹ Some of the changes are good.
Cheers

I think Russian did it. Sabotage.
I think you are correct! Comrade Tammy?
Cheers

it almost covers Rok’s nick name
Will the outrages ever cease???
Can't believe it, I am so smart!

The Canadian slicky boy:
It made me sick, esp when I think of what he SAYS rather than what he DOES. He has the gift of gab, but more and more Canadians are finally getting his measure. He is a National Embarrassment.
The dieppe Raid was one of the greatest allied defeats in the war. Total disaster.
They were relieved of their positions in NATO’s Central Front back in the 60’s. And sent home. Could not maintain combat readiness.
All the deputy Command slots formerly held by Canadian officers at lll Corps here at Hood, 18th Airborne Corps at Bragg, Central Command in Florida, and all those at the Pentagon, are now held by British Officers. I wonder why?
American Presidents do what the are supposed to do, not make speeches, but make sure our people have every advantage in weapons, equpiment and training. Thats what the American people demand.
Check out the status of the Canadian Military. Google is your friend.
I think we have more people here At Hood than they have in their entire Military. I know lll Corps does.
He’s a slick talking anti-American, anti-military French Canadian socialist.
When Covid-19 broke out and countries were racing to find a vaccine, he put Canada’s money on the Communist Chinese. How did that work out for Canada? Later he comes begging, DEMANDING that medical equpment made at 3M in Minnesota, be sent to Canada, at a time when Doctors and Nurses were dying in NYC.
He is no friend of the USA. Just an opportunistic parasite.
Cheers
|
Then they are not anti military they are against most useless wars americans did after 1945
In other words, any war fought by America that's not to save their asses, is a useless war.
educate yourself, socialism is not communism
I may have been confused by the Name USSR (Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics). I am now educated.

A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
and this has what to do with polish "jazz", or what I said?

Who said Polish jazz cannot be interesting and creative ?
Me.

Careful, careful your European bias is showing. My BS relay is chattering. Makes me wonder why you are still in Minnesota instead of Mannheim!

Is there anything or anyone preventing you from moving to canada? How about scotland? If you hate this country so much, you should leave.
Cheers

P.S . I love Upstate NY at least much as Canada .
And as much of Texas as lovely Alberta .
Too late. I have already informed the guys at the CIA. Sorry.
