| Jazz for aficionados **** Johnny Hodges:The most beautiful tone. ****I generally don’t like “mosts” or “bests”; but in this case it’s hard to argue. Awesome tone. And those glissandos (slides)!! No one has done it like that. https://youtu.be/3l6Ny7pOA5chttps://yout... | |
| Horn From The Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story Yes, very good. Thanks!One of the seldom mentioned factoids about Butterfield is that his band served as an important “training ground” for a saxophone player who would go on to become the most emulated Rock and Pop saxophone stylist of the last ... | |

| Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture You’re welcome. Remember, be flexible; the concert master (you?) and conductor are the boss. | |
| Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture By all means listen to one of the great Russian orchestras playing the music. Gergiev conducting the Mariinsky (Kirov Ballet) Theater Orchestra on Decca for string playing probably as close to what Tchaikovsky envisioned as it gets. Great Decca au... | |
| Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture May I ask what instrument you play? If the aim is to use the recording as a reference for your own performance, I would strongly suggest that you also consider the various recordings based on the presence in the orchestra of a particularly strong ... | |
| What have you found to be a good classic Jazz online station? If you are interested in VERY in-depth retrospectives and analysis of classic Jazz artists, check out WKCR (Columbia U, NYC) on line and dj Phil Schaap’s shows in particular. Very interesting programming overall; although some not particularly “c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes, very enjoyable. Thanks for that, pjw.I am sorry to have to report another passing of a great musician. Claudio Roditi, one my favorite trumpet players passed two days ago. Fabulous player who brought the influence of his Brazilian heritag... | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? You’re not getting it. See you on the Jazz thread. | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? Alex, please read my comments (all) again. Your answer and explanation to the quoted sentence is there....if you want to see it. And, please, do not suggest I am speaking falsely. Your accusatory attitude is very telling; and this discussion, disc... | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? Alex, I am willing to assume that our disagreement is the result of some kind of cultural divide. From my vantage point you have blinders on to what I am trying to suggest. I have to assume that your cultural background simply doesn’t allow for th... | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? Alex, you insist on suggesting that our disagreement is over state sanctioned or mandated religious “teachings” or formal religious “education”. I have not suggested anything of the sort. I don’t know of a better way of explaining my stance than h... | |
| What have you found to be a good classic Jazz online station? WBGO Jazz 88. Newark, NJ. Live stream. Wonderful! | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? Alex, I think that your definition of “teachings” differs from mine. I suppose that, for example, the removal of what was previously a national motto “In God We Trust” (a motto for a country which was actually founded on Judeo-Christian principles... | |
