| Jazz for aficionados There has been quite a bit of M Brecker posted by me and others. This is the last Brecker I posted. Perhaps this is it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l85qqhvqGAA36q_ctKF3ZoE3cqpktgknc Check this out as well. His last. Both ar... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato As a previously frequent poster on the Jazz For Aficionados thread would often point out, (paraphrase, “just because there is improvisation doesn’t mean it is Jazz”. Jazz and Classical music sales, as a percentage of total music sales of all genr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting. Detached or aloof are probably the last two characteristics I would think of. I find his playing to be very direct and committed. The beauty of music in that it can cause different reactions. (Btw, one of the few players who can impr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Contrasts indeed! Well, let’s contrast 😊 First, one should look at the song’s lyrics. For me: melancholy, tenderness, feeling of the blues (obviously, “You don’t know what love is/Until you’ve learned the meaning of the blues”). Should be played ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice! Thanks, pryso. ——- https://www.charlesmingus.com/mingus-discography | |
| Nosferatu Meh! Saw the new one last week. I found it underwhelming and while creepy, not particularly suspenseful nor scary. I had high hopes for Willem Defoe’s character, but the performance was caricaturish to the point of being comical. And since this w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray , if you’re new to Pat Martino you may like this. I’ve posted it previously, https://youtu.be/2o0AoEqSlB0?si=wvoQQ9f2OhoqI8ga Another with “a little Spanish tinge”…..at least in title. https://youtu.be/hTe9M4yFdEQ?si=d-bPx07fmguHr97T | |
| Jazz for aficionados @tyray , glad you liked it. Pat Martino was a badass! Very interesting and at times sad personal story. | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato I get it . NOT a statement about my feelings on Rap one way or the other, but there is a big difference (in my book, anyway) between lyrics with “raunchy” sexuality, usually by way of innuendo or double entendre and lyrics that demean and debase ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great stuff, acman3 and stuartk! Remler sounds great, but I’m a little confused about the title of the tune. “Cisco” is credited to Pat Martino, but his “Cisco” is a different tune. A brand old guitar recording that is really good! 😊: https://y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! Thank you, pryso. Best wishes! I think I may be able to shed bit of light on the reason for Tom Moon’s comment. Hopefully without getting too personal. I know Tom Moon from when we were both students in music conservator... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato That’s actually pretty funny. Well done. 😊 | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato That may be, and I don’t disagree, But the issue here is not Steely Dan’s lyrics per se. Nonetheless, an argument could be made that their lyrics are a perfect fit for their at often vapid, urban-hip overall musical aesthetic delivered with ul... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato **** expecting to find "good" lyrics (or music for that matter) in the stuff most popular these days is akin to him expecting to find good food at a fast food restaurant **** That was Beato’s point. ….as concerns the stuff most popular these day... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato I think some of you miss the point of what Beato is saying; which I mostly agree with. He is not saying that there are no good lyrics being written today. He acknowledges that there are. He is saying that today there are few songs with good lyrics... |
