| Jazz for aficionados If you do not mind, I would like to recommend couple of films.I find them both to be excellent. If you guys find the time to see it, would be courious to hear your coments about it.The Oscar winner for 2014, foreign language film, 'The Great Beaut... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that is very thoughtful of you. All the best to you too. Happy holidays to all of you guys. It is certainly a privilege to share a thread with you all.Here is my proposition, perhaps the only ’christmas’ album that I haveKenny Burrell ’Have y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I agree, of course, only wanted to say that sometimes its a must (for me) to look (listen) first from the perspective of ’beauty’ , rather than melancholy, because otherwise it would be too emotionally overwhelming.(sometimes is, dependin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I never use generalizations of any kind, as you can read in my last post as well. But, we can certainly discuss are the 'loneliness and isolation' really antithesis of (some) jazz...I am sure that you know how easy is to find examples which s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that was a great clip from 'The Thomas Crown Affair', with McQueen and Dunaway. The remake, with Brosnan and R.Russo is not bad either, but 'happy end' spoils it.Maybe we should start a movie thread, or at least point to some works of art (pa... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, its good to know and understand some 'tricks' from the trade. Aldo, must add, that origin of music might have some influence (even if its not from the parts or 'culture' where I live) I have the same (sad) sensation even when I hear or li... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I find it very interesting how music affect us all differently and how origins of 'taste' could be very elusive.For reasons that I still try to understand,the sound of clarinet and accordion (even more) are the ones that associate me with... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Somebody said that when you go older you start to think that before the politicians were more honest, that prices were more reasonable and that young ones respected their elders. Well, I am 43 and already have that feeling. (except for politicians... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman and others,its quite true that we have not mentioned much clarinet players. In fact, must admit that I am aware of only few. Buddy DeFranco,as you have mentioned comes first on mind. Here are couple more albums.Art Tatum with Buddy DeFranc... | |
