| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister, One more confession. I've moved over to Marvin Gaye "What's Going On." It may not be jazz, but when I first heard it I had no idea what genre it fell into. I've listened to it a lot. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry I strayed. Wife's gone. Blasting Rolling Stones "Let It Bleed." Back to my senses later. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray, Angelique Kidjo is a massive world star. I've seen her live twice and she's a force to be reckoned with. She's won a lot of awards, including 5 grammies. I have several of her CDs, including Djin Djin. I also have one of her singing her mo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk, @tyray I have a boxed set of 4 records of a Return to Forever concert with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Joe Farrell, and others that I will pull out tomorrow and play. I think I will appreciate it more than I have in the past. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray, stuartk, @acman3 Flora Purim's last name reminded me of the Jewish holiday Purim. I went onto chatgbt and asked what religion she is. She's a Sephardic Jew like me. Well, she has no religious affiliation, so she's really like me. But she ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk, I love that album! It's not printed on great vinyl so I've worn it out several times and have to keep looking for a mint copy. When I was taking classical guitar lessons, my teacher told me that was a great album so I went out and bought... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Stanley Clarke, George Duke, Joe Henderson, Airto Moreira, vocals by Flora Purim: https://www.google.com/search?q=flora+purim+summer+night+youtube&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS945US945&oq=flora+purim+summer+night+you&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgBECEYo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk, I have a number of Return to Forever albums I haven't played in years, except "Light as a Feather," of course. I'll have to put them on my turntable and give them another listen. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray, I have so many CDs of Brazilian music, many of female singers. I'll post from time to time. Regarding my interest in musical influences, when I was young I taught in a school for kids with emotional problems. I knew my 8th grade history ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant, @mahgister, I go to hear jazz at the Soraya Theater at Northridge State University. Great theater! Last year I heard Joshua Redman, Christian McBride, and Brad Meldhau. Great concert. Redman played a piece on soprano sax and before he pla... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray, thank you for the Brazilian Samba information. In the U.S., we've had many peoples influence the original blues-based jazz. Is that also true in Brazil? Was there any Portugese influence, perhaps from fado? I don't know what other groups s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk, I think I shouldn't talk anymore about what I'm writing on this forum. Thanks for being interested, though. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray, thanks for the Brazilian tastes. I'll listen today. I've been listening to Maria Rita, do you know her? Also, I have a question. What part of Brazil does the samba come from? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Thank you. I didn't begin to write a book on this topic. I researched my way into it and felt that it was an urgent issue that needed examining. It does relate to jazz and other music. Art defines us as being human, and I couldn't imag... | |
| Jazz for aficionados stuartk, All of this is metaphor to me. Feminine Creator, Masculine Creator. It tells us about the society we live in. The suppression of women and the feminine is the world we live in. Take it away from the spiritual, it's just history. The point... |
