| Jazz for aficionados Rok, for better or worse, I read your posts. ' So we can say that there would be no Jazz and also no "European Classical Tradition" without our log beater in Africa. I will agree that Jazz is a eventual result of the first human attempt to make... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Like all people, musicians have been affected by the political, economic and social events of 20th century.The technological adavnces as well have brought music to larger audience than ever before, besides vastly increasing the range of music avai... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 'We'd like to have you all join in with us on this one, and help us find the groove, by patting your feet, or popping your fingers, or clapping your hands, or shaking your heads, or shaking whatever else you want to shake... while we do a little t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, answer to your first question. I used Jarret Evans comparation as metaphore. Sometimes I meet people who 'listen jazz' and have lots of Ecm records, which is ok. But its been known to happen that those same people often have very strong opini... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus, have you watched this movie? It certainly explains a lot of things behind some aspects of US economy. It is a not an action movie, in fact the trailer is not true to a real tempo of the film, which is very slow, patient, and the caracters... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Well, its quite posssible that Orpheus had more than one friend whose music we have listened. If its organist, I think I know who he is and I am not sure if its polite for me to say? Anyway, this guy played with him ( with that organist) on one al... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of french (now I read that he is Belgian, hope nobody will be offended) guitarists, Rene Thomas came to my mind. Here are couple of links of albums that I have, hope you will find it intersting. This one is with Stan Getz, its been said t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus, I have several Dave Pike albums, and I think I can say that I like him. 'Pike's Peak' you have, with Bill Evans, I think that one deserves to be in any decent jazz collection. For Bossa Nova Carnival I can only say that on that album Pike... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There is expression that says that all art was modern, in one point in time. Process of reception of a 'new art' was always hard and history of any art is full of examples when some, at first scorned, art form has become recognised and valued. The... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In the meantime...Eddie Costa 'My funny Valentine' and 'Diane' from 1959, 'the house of blue lights' album. Very intersting, imho.https://youtu.be/M-8mI5W-0Hkhttps://youtu.be/YThwn4J0htc | |
| Jazz for aficionados It seems to me that we are step away from a disscusion about aestethics in music, and that is time to stop using subjective vs objective terms, because the theme asks for much broader explanations. In doing so we should talk about history of music... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus, perception is strange. Have 'Salt S.' album as well, now you made me check it for H.Parlan. Had no idea he was playing there, always thought about that record as one where Eric Gale plays nice sounding, blues guitar.Those Cti recordings a... |
