| Jazz for aficionados That Perdomo “Infancia” clip with the great Ignacio Berroa reminded me of this. With Schubert’s favorite Jazz piano player and a young Carlos Enrique before Wynton snatched him up:Turning the knob up to 11 (in the right places):https://youtu.be/RQ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fabulous stuff, thanks! You’re right, hard to not notice Perdomo. I like the way that he burns without sounding like he turned the knob up to 11; always disciplined. Nice to hear the classic Fender Rhodes sound. One of my favorite recent recording... | |
| Jazz for aficionados hmmmmmmmmmm is better than nnnnnnnnnnnnnnah 😊 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, as is often the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle. First, Cugat was born in Spain, not Cuba. So, from that standpoint he was not Cuban, but his music certainly was. To say his music was not Cuban is like saying that the music of ban... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great Beny More clips. Beny (one n) More is considered by many to be the greatest Cuban singer of all time. For me, particularly great was his way with love songs. Silky smooth voice, suave delivery and immaculate intonation:https://youtu.be/D_... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Correction:That is not Paquito on tenor; it is Poncho Silva. | |
| Jazz for aficionados It’s been done both ways. Interesting that Ms Washington chose to cover all bases. I suppose forgivable given that the song was actually written in Spanish by a Mexican songwriter with a title that translates to “When I Return To Your Side”:With t... | |
| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... I’m a sucker for vintage Meitner products and have a second system built around his classic pre and power amps. What can you tuner mavens tell me about Meitner’s Museatex FMT? Any info/opinions are appreciated. Thanks! | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** It’s world wide and will be known as toil - orona. ****More like toil-oroma 😝 | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I think The Frogman missed his calling. ****😊 I don’t think so, but you did remind me of my favorite (only?) musician/comic, the great Pete Barbuti. I think a little silly humor might go a long way at this very strange time we are going throu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There’s always the paper inner sleeves from all those LP’s you gave up on 😱 | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, Mahler is certainly not to everyone’s tastes; not all his works are favorites of mine either. However, Das Lied is without a doubt one of the greatest orchestral works. I don’t know who the performers you heard were, but since you seem to b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados “state of Jazz” (?)Associate of Wynton’s JALC crew, Andy Farber is a very talented tenor player/composer/arranger/band leader. Wynton is not the only one keeping that flame alive:https://youtu.be/g3LLiaD0av4https://youtu.be/5ol6sIKuLSIhttps://you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ....and, of course, we all know that a double high C on the trumpet would never attract attention 😊(that was for rockadanny)https://youtu.be/47uuEYv-C7o | |
| Jazz for aficionados rockadanny, we welcome new posters and their contributions. I am certain that the last thing that anyone here needs is to be spoken for and this comment is not intended that way. Having said that, you are making a mistake with your assumption and ... |
