I'm sure Oscar Peterson would love to hear his National Anthem, He was Canadian to the end , and IMO the greatest Jazz man that land ever had ,
|
And they , like their Air Men, can fly every and any way they want ..
|
|
Of course you did, was being a top musician not part of how you feel ?
Oh , going to Oprea , what I would fight for there is Bjorling and Victoria de los Angles in Butterfly . They moved me more than anything in music I ever heard!
Two Greats, Bjorling sang in perfection of her voice , impossible but he did it, He did it, sure effected in other parts of my life .
perfection

This man tells it like it is !

The great Scott Hamilton before he retired, still had it !

I think both Jazz and Classical are worthy and deserve respect.
That said , Classical was about God from around 1200 and was still that to the days of Bach, Mozart and Schubert and Brahms and many, many thousands more .on the way.
I love Coltrane {and his wife)but if he never told what his music was you not know what it was. Religious .
All I saying is Classical has thousand times more music than jazz ,
And until WW1 had more to do with society than other music or "music"
Seems irrelevant when I read both Jazz and Classical are 5% of music sold together.
My rich friend says the last Classical Concert will be Beethoven 9 in 2056 in Tokyo .
I say we’ll all be cooked by then . Excuse my bad writing ,
P.S. The Lutheran National Choir is very good as is a hundred others in the Twin Cities . No joke .

PURE JAZZ
Super Soul in town, ALL bow down !

I had the honor of talking to Carla Bley, Would never do it again .

3 of America's best Musical Greats .

Well , I’ve been all over mahgister .At least you live in a land that all over the world
is thought well of . That’s why my travel coats have maple on them.
I’ve been in all ten and IMO Canada stops at Ontario down near London , Waterloo etc .
Manitoba has it rough period . Sask has same First Nation problems, Alberta’s
real name is Texas North , BC I can’t speak Chinese and can’t go over a million for a house.
O’Canada is in Ontario, Quebec , NB ,NS and PIE . Newfy’s beats me .
Best of all are Quebec , most interesting , NB , best place to raise kids, Nova Scotia is great because I am 70% Scottish and Halifax has nice views. PIE , F spuds .

Somebody please make the above clip , I was in heaven at 12 minutes , , found out it goes to 1;38
1; 38 and Elling and the best big band around are in love .
If I could do this clip it would the best I ever made .
|
True, frogman , I knew it was a pick up band but I thought I would never get Ellington and Mingus in :" Sound of Love :
I have seen many times that top jazz men’s face showed their respect
for Elling .
I never thought he was anything but a musician , 1st class .
There is a fantastic clip on here with two Elling helpers , the Great German WDR with Bob Mintzer on baton ,
I don't thing you could ever do better ! Elling gives all he has , he knows he can't do better ! I can not to anything without a page that says PASTE .
|
|
I found something with both Elling and PASTE , not near to WDR, but still very
good., He goes to Germany because his Dad is a Lutheran Pastor and jazz
is more popular in Germany . Not a few American jazz men live there .
Funny , :Norwegian Wood is only Beattle Song i really like .
|
Re; Norwegian Wood , God as my witness , An Iceland Stewardess
, Luxemburg -NYC flight , gave a soldier a a note saying to said soldier
she would like his company in her overnight hotel in NYC .
Wasn’t exactly the Soldiers thing but he went with her
and to a tee it was "Norwegian Wood "
I had a girl in Germany !
Re; Elling , I’d be surprised if he was not an apple off Dad’s Tree.
|
|
Hear is the best Church of the best Christians in America !
Hands down the power of his VOICE is more than any other instrument !
Trying to come to all things of God alone is like a dog chasing his tail .
frog person has made it clear to me why Mingus was the first jazzman
that called to me and still does . If only he had Sonny Stitt in his band !
|
Took me a year or three to figure this was controlled chaos in F minor .
Brahms would have done it in a few hours ,
|
Yes I know , but if the strongest im -prov genius could have a trio with the slickist
one , the earth could cry .
I'm no genius , but I can hear Sonny make two moves over at the same time
in less than a second , keep doing it and make the melody of any standard be is
with im-proving all the way ,
And them better with out seeming to do so. Was like the Hudson flooding vs a baby bottle .
I think his genius is not nearly known as it should be .

This lady sold a million in the year before at 83 .
Perhaps the best backing Columbia ever made , easy to find .
You WILL beat your feet . No album on here.
And you will laugh hard and be very glad you got it . AMTRAK BLUES
|
A Quartet with a lot of class .
|
I loved Al Coln , smooth and steady , like me !
He and the Great Barry Harris could play for me all day and half the night.AL was a fine arranger as well with Woody Herman big band,
|
I never understood why they called him Cannonball , a Cannonball goes straight ,
he carried the melody a lot by my hears .
|
More to my taste than most Davis stuff . Have to tract down Sonny on the "bone" !
|
Here one of the Greatest jazz artists tells it like it IS !
One reason is what the best historians know but want to eat , America is not the
new country but the oldest .
|
Jazz Capital of the World
|
Copenhagen is a large city and the capital of Denmark , with 20 million tourists a year.
UN says it is the best city in the world to live in , I wouldn’t argue .
I am sure it is one of them .
|
Gee, do they like Jazz in Amsterdam , few folks showed up.?
Lucky jazz , it seldom gets played in the greatest hall in the world !
|
I"m a bit nuts , I don’t hear solos in the great big-bands . To me they are just one instrument . My mom said I ran to the radio to hear all the big-bands at age 3 .
They got "When Johnny Comes Marching Home " in the way a long serving soldier would understand ,WAR ..
|
Hall isn’t as good and audience smaller . So there! Grieg's lovely flute Sonata is on next door .
|
Yes, I did . I just thought that flute was something to hear !
Going over to see about a violin sonata with one Julia Fisher.
I can’t I say I am a freak for Grieg but I have listened to "Peer Gynt" at least a Thousand times ! Soothing .......... , I sure respect him .
|
Sorry ,I put in my clip . I just meet a lot who don’t mahgiester .
Could you tell me when I could expect the 50’s F in your part of the world .
Doc and I decided not wise to fly atlantic, but YUL and Hotel St. Paul would be OK.
2 years of self watching self is enough and no sweat for current what must be in Canada now !.

|
These ladies are in the best Army in Europe or North America along with both the
Men and Women of the Polish Army .
And they sing !
|
A Killer and Thriller from the man with the plan !
|
Thanks mahgister , but as long as someone just hears what I did , fine for me.
|

A petty good young man on organ backed by the mighty WDR in Berlin, about 7 minutes. Quite a few Americans play in the German WDR’s. (Radio Bands )
In Wisconsin I lived next to a Trumpet mam who played in Southwest DR for 30 years, came home to die but was ingood health
|
I learned 60 years ago when folks from this land put there mind to it the rest of us can forget about it !
Good thing too , they have made their Air Force twice as large in 5 years and their
pilots have got their minds on Chinese .
|
+1 for Shirley and company .
|
All opinons aside , this piece is only one thing, PERFECTION !!!!!
Att the end of the jazz day its do you have a story or no.
This guy IS a story and only the human mouth AND BRAIN could do that .
|
Ain't nobody sing it better .
|
P.S , he both arranged and improved -aaaahh
Who else does all this with one of THE greatest of all standers , nobody I have heard in over 70 years of hard listing .
