| Jazz for aficionados Froman, some time ago there was 'discussion' here about influence od classical music on jazz.Just watched some documentary, about influence of tempo (meter) on music, and it seems to me that there is no dobut (if there was ever, for some, at least... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Usually I would say they sound ’baroque’- esk, because of their ’grandeur’ caracter of production, but one could not attribue symmetry and strict regulations to any jazz music (as to ’baroque’), to be called it that way.So, I kind of used that ter... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I liked the more 'mellow' things, the ones that have faster tempo are played well but I do not find them appealing.For what I can say, I miss certain 'sustain' in his notes. (Flanagan is someone with opposite style who I like)But, as Acma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Randy, on amazon you can find remastered editions that are dated from 2010. I have not listened to any of those. CTI recordings are quite good from the start, but the music is somewhat 'Rococo', so it did not inspired me to chase better editions.A... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Today will do an exception and will post two albums that I dont have, of japanese jazz pianist that I have never heard before. Friend of mine introduced me to his work. Curious to know is anybody here familiar with his music? Ryo Fukui, album is '... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I must admit that of all sax greats, Rollins is one that I have least record of.Somehow his tone or expressing always felt kind of 'hard' to me. But, Frogman, thank you for your explanation, it kind of 'gives the words' to thoughts.On the other ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sonny Rollins and Coleman Hawkins, 'Sonny meets Hawk', from 1963. As far as I know, the only album they made together. https://youtu.be/KS8hbwlr9FwCurious to hear your thoughts about this album | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, Rok, I know for a lots of places where people on power use the prefix 'democratic', but their actions are far and distant from the needs and will of people (demos).So, we should drop the story's that were invented to scare litttle children (... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, first let me explain one thing where you have missunderstood my words, perhaps my english is not clear enough.I have said, that (only) in comparation, with your thoughts and expressions, made about music (where you have shoved knowledge ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I am quite sure that Orpheus will giggle reading this, but if you have recognised the ’bait’ why did you have to answer it?This way you made me involved, again, in ’discussion’ that I choose not to participate, except for the first post a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As a former bar and club owner, I can share my experiences, from European perspective. Went often, for years to places like Perugia, Italy ,http://www.umbriajazz.com , or to capitols like Berlin, London and many more. To The States as well, but I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse (and others too), there are very much things written about Zawinul and Adderley, so I have choosen to post another sax player and album that was not mentioned, at least not recently, as I can recall.Ben Webster and Joe Zawinul 'Soulmate... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, what I said has nothing with those music posts attached My point was somewhere close to Orpheus words.There is lots of ’blues’, or music played in that key, with lyrics to go with, that sounds totally ’bogus’ to me. Normally I would no... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 'White boys cant play authentic blues?'I would say that 'they' play different kind. What ever you like the call either one, but one can hear and recognise distinction, in a heart beat.T Bone Walker, Joe Turner and Otis Spann, together, with others... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I have few albums of Boogalloo Joe Jones. To my ears he sound very capable, its pity that he played in years when ’jazz jazz’ already started to decline. On ’All Music’ http://www.allmusic.com/artist/boogaloo-joe-jones-mn0000113250/bio... |
