Jazz for aficionados

To me Jussi Bjorling has the most beautiful voice I ever heard.
No doubt Pavarotti would get more votes , and deserve them .


IMO Bach is the most profound composer who ever lived or will, if someone
thinks it Mozart or Beethoven , that is up to them .

In Jazz I like Mingus and Sunny Stitt the best.

Your choices make perfect sense if someone think about them...

We are all different and because i like to discuss a bit too much, (my job was to teach by arguments) myself i like when someone contradict me though....It is an occasion to discuss... 😊😁😊

But some people are, like you, with "big heart" and dont like this so much and i understand why...

Anyway, all our choices are "absolute" because they are motivated by our own history...And we must all learn WHY someone we know like something or not and we must understand why, because partaking something with him him make our world more vast and less small....

I like that when you say that Jussi Bjorling is the most beautiful voice ever, because it make me conscious of other possibilities of experience unknown to me and mysterious.... And anyway anyone with ears know that Bjorling is a very great singer....

Then why not listen to him with "others" ears than ours for an hour and learn something out of our world sometimes? Or discover surprizingly that perhaps ,yes, Bjorling is the most extraordinary voice, why not?

For Bach you are more than right in my book....

And your choices of Mingus and Sony Stitt are very interesting and surprizing for me by far....I cannot wait to listen to these 2 in another "body" and "soul" than only mine this time....( yes it is possible! We all can listen with someone BESIDE ourself, with him in ourself) It is called learning.....

Thanks for your great passion.....It is very important for all here....

I think that if you start to try to know why you like to know why you like this and that
you become some body else. Not a good idea IMO .

If you pray enough , Jesus will let you know.

Can’t speak for other religions .


I did know that when others said  something about being somewhere in six months the 
old soldier in me laughed and said ONE month tops !

Okay Schubert, but “not Heavy Metal”?  You seem to love classical. I have spoken to a number of symphony musicians and the overwhelming majority prefer Heavy Metal to other rock, rhythm and blues even Jazz.  They site the technical difficulty, orchestral nature and musicality.  While I appreciate Heavy Metal it’s not near the top of my favorite genre but definitely art as much as any music and the required craftsmanship is huge.  It takes all kinds of aficionados.  I don’t think god has anything to do with it.

Orchestral musicians prefer Heavy Metal?!  Preferred to “rock, rhythm and blues even Jazz”?!  Orchestral nature?!  Not doubting your experience, but yours has been WAY different from mine.  Maybe I don’t really know what Heavy Metal is.  I’m open to that possibility.  Could you post, or at least mention, some examples.  I would appreciate it.

You like it  , I don't and what a classical musician might think is irrelevant 
to me, I listen to the complete thing  .As the oldest person here I have a complete": I was there" when 
Big Band died and music came along that struck severe  blows to American society . 

I think God  has something to do with everything .
