| 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... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've been listening to James Carter for hours. The more I listen the more I think he might be the best horn out there blowing today. And he blows a lot of different horns, including woodwinds. Makes so many different sounds in so many styles, it's... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I don't think I've heard James Carter's name mentioned on this forum. This guy's got a ton of energy. He's still relatively young, in his mid-fifties. Here's a taste of Bro. Dolphy: https://www.google.com/search?q=james+carter+bro.+dolphy+youtube... | |
| Jazz for aficionados alexatpos, I also had a socialist upbringing. As I studied archaeology for my book, I found out there were Marxist archaeologists as well as feminist archaeologists. One of the biggest questions I have, and I have no answer, is what society would ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados stuartk, yes the yin-yang symbol, masculine and feminine in balance. But the Creator a man? Give me a break. The Creator was a woman from the beginning.. Up until maybe 10,000 years ago there were only female goddess symbols. Not male. For some re... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray, Yes, Lonnie Liston Smith is on the Karma album. I read a bit about Pharoah Sanders, and it said that after Coltrane died he had trouble finding a group of musicians who could play the type of sound he wanted. I guess he would refer to it a... |
