| Jazz for aficionados Regarding 'the dispute' that is going on...'the very controversial jazz movement on the west coast in the 1950's was a beautiful one in certain musical ways and yet it failed for probably one reason. And that was that there was too litlle of the h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sometimes when I am in the mood, I spin this album after that one mentioned above. Louis Armstrong and the Good Book, I belleive his only album with spiritual songs. [url]https://youtu.be/bvEmq-cX0G4[/url][url]https://youtu.be/WIZ5u1qf0Ns?list=PL3... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Spaeking of jazzmen who ended up in prison, because of possession of drugs, one should not overlook the faith of Hampton Hawes, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison, only to be pardoned by JFK after serving 5 This is the album that Hawes record... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Always thought that Chet Baker was a great figure in jazz, so much, that I never posted any of his albums, thinking that everyone has lots of his albums. Beeing 'obscure' (not thinking about CB) once, should not stop us finding and listening thei... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus, if you dont have it already, try to hear 'Easay Living' album of Ike Quebec. Not the one that is often mentioned. He plays along Turrentine,G. Green, S.Clark. Here are some clipshttps://youtu.be/nQKC5jL_0lQhttps://youtu.be/zSp8HBwl2JAMy f... | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Inna, I will qoute the wise man who once said nothing.Frogman, it will take me a couple of days, when I send you the mail will write you on 'our' jazz thread to inform you, just in case | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Frogman, no problem, I will do my best, will write you the original text of the song, just in case if you meet someone who can do it better, and my translation. Tell me is there a particular song that you would like me to translate, or you would l... | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Paco De Lucia is one of my favorite guitar players, was fortunate enough to see him alive couple of years ago.There are two albums that you may like, sextet, and sextet live. Here are few clipshttps://youtu.be/8DLExUqCK84https://youtu.be/ZBa5xUWHQAI | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Inna, Frogman, I am glad that you liked the clips. But like O 10 said, in 'our' jazz thread, it is a realy special feeling seeing some of this performers alive. The music is emotionaly demanding, there is a joke that describes that well, about a l... | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Inna, I guess your last question is adressed to me? Here are some facts on wiki, they are mostly right, aldo the important part which describes actual way of life and living in time when that form of singing was born is missing from description ht... | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Try this. The music is called 'sevdah', from south east Balkan. Very specific form. Kind of 'blues', not by form, but by feeling. If you like it, will tell you more.This is the same song, played by two very different singers https://youtu.be/iBbN8... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry, this is a clip with the great cover,that I mentioned abovehttps://youtu.be/dG-RLgDabRsThe trumpets are played by Clark Terry and Snooky Young.The pair recorded lots of albums playing together, but Young did not make any album as leader unti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I am pleased that I can learn something from you, would not loose time in arguing, hope that I do not leave that impression.Regarding the subject, of players who were not appriciated enough. Hope that these words will finaly clear my poin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, Frogman, the answer is quite simple. Ask yourself how many people actually could afford to live beeing just a jazz musician? Imho opinion jazz survived despite music business, not because of it. Certainly, that has lot to do with other socia... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, point I am trying to prove is quite simple. I'll do my best to futher clear my thougts in a hope that we can stop the 'debate' and continue to recommmend good music to each other. So, hope that everyone will forgive me, here it is, one mo... |
