| 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... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, lets try to put things in some context, and than hopefully we shall make some conclusions. 'the great ones will not play for a lame "leader"; but, that leader may sometimes not be on the same level as his sidemen.'I guess that goes other... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 'The idea of forgotten player' is a thought that comes to me quite often, more so when man digs deep into world of jazz. Aldo Frogmans explanation is quite logical, my personal perspective is somehow different, and I would like to share some thogh... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, fate of enlightener is often ungreatful, but noble. You can call me naive or maybe romantic, but the sprit of this thread seemed to be positive,to me, not only because of thoughts and ideas that were shared, but also because behind of ea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I wish that you reconsider your decision. Try not to take it so serious, lots of stuff that is said here is actually 'lost in translation', because of a form of this forum. Things are never written in 'real time', and there is a constant ... |
