| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic post, @mahgister ! It is generally acknowledged that Jazz, at its most basic, is a blend of African rhythmic elements and European harmony. As you suggest, in the absence of time/rhythm, however obtuse (“Rite….” is a good example), har... | |

| Jazz for aficionados **** As a classical musician, they aren’t allowed to have their own voice. **** @audio-b-dog , with respect, this could not be further from the truth. In keeping with your comment about being able to “tell Coltrane anywhere”, it is, likewi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I agree with @tyray . Moreover, it is a mistake to somehow attach superiority of expressiveness, swagger, whatever, to Jazz musicians as compared to Classical musicians. Two different genres with very different sensibilities which are what defin... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk , for me, yes. An argument can be made that Tabackin is the better flute player, but for me (and others) Farrel is the better Jazz player. Tabackin is a more “impressive” player in that he plays with a huge sound and has a more aggressi... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Heard this yesterday and I’m embarrassed to say that this guitar player’s name was only vaguely familiar to me. I don’t exactly follow the Fusion/RR guitar world closely, but enjoy the obvious names. Still….……..The phrasing logic of a good Jazz ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you like them, @tyray . Two of my favorite saxophone players. Different as could be and both great. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Funny, I’ve heard that one but don’t remember the punchline either. Here’s another: A violist is driving on the way to a concert and decides to make a quick stop at a bank. Knowing it would only be a few minutes he leaves his viola on the back... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very nice Chris Cheeks clip! Thanks. Interesting unique tone and overall approach. BTW, I thought your 6-2-2025 post was excellent and on point. |
