| Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later. Agree about Shirley Scott. Her recordings with husband and tenor great Stanley Turrentine stand out for me. | |
| Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later. For me, two different genres. Soul Jazz: funky with emphasis on the groove. Groove which has more of a straight, even eighth note feel as opposed to the typical Jazz “swing” feel where the upbeat is closer to the following downbeat, A few that ... | |
| Woodstock 1969, or 1967? I won’t comment on the issue of a personal posting style which seems to be rankling some, but I did find the “documentary” very interesting and educational as I did not have a good enough understanding of the history of the pre-Festival town of Wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Love Frisell, acman3. And I get what you mean. He is the kind of player that plays with so much nuance of tone and personal sense of time that make audio systems sound inadequate. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for sharing, Alex and Stuart . Times change. Jazz changes. Sometimes for the good. Sometimes not. Sometimes a reboot seems appropriate: https://youtu.be/IBpaSIkmNPU?si=-yfUFhzsNIgrPzeC Where is Rok2id anyway? | |
| 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... |
