| Jazz for aficionados The irony of this supposed disagreement is that I completely agree with Schubert’s comments. He is exactly right. However, respectfully, I am left with the feeling of “so what?”. This does not in any way change the fact that I know of many for who... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I like directness and lack of ambiguity. Btw, speaking of ambiguity, I am not sure what you found “ambiguous” about my comments in the “other” thread; comments that, from my perspective, should have remained there. I thought my comments were... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Call me weird, but I find your suggestion mildly inappropriate. | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? **** Imho, any disrespect or barbarisam toward any civil or cultural heritage, may come from any number of reasons and none of them should be justified, no matter what ’explanation’ may be in someones head. ****“justified”=excused. Same meaning in... | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? Alex, I’m short on time at this moment. There was nothing in what I wrote that suggested that the behavior should or could be “excused”. **** I dont think that Bach's relationship with church should be problem or significance (other than scholar... | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? Sorry it seems ambiguous to you, alex. I think the meaning is actually quite clear. Debating here the specific issue that you raise would probably be pointless, but I will point out a couple of things that may help make the meaning of what I wrote... | |
| Has all decency left the entire planet? **.Has all decency left the entire planet? **Of course not! There are many examples of great decency around us. Now, as concerns this specific deranged act that is probably nothing more than the result of ignorance, why should this be the least bi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great! Btw, Paul, I sent you a pm. Wondering if you got it. | |
| Monster Genesis 1000 Phono Cartridge linnlp12, very interested in getting your impressions on the differences in sound between the stock 2000 and the Soundsmith retip. Thank you. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Btw, Turrentine sounds fabulous. I would say, the perfect tenor player for these tunes. Something really right about Silver/Turrentine. Love “Rain Dance”, one of my favorites on the record. Interesting tune. | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I wonder what brought all this on? ****If I had to guess? 1968. Makes complete sense. Whole lot going on in 1968 that inspired protest songs and other expressions of protest. Silver’s music has always had an upbeat and accessible vibe to it a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What I didn’t make clear is that a band leader/arranger can use some variation of the above which is why “standard” is a tricky designation. Thad Jones added a French Horn, Kenton incorporated a section of melophoniums, Dizzy added a percussionis... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I believe that there would be agreement among most arrangers that a minimum size for the designation “big band” is 5 saxophones, 3 trombones, 3 trumpets and 3 rhythm (piano, bass and drums). Anything much smaller than that (fewer horns) would... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Great players all, great solos, new and typically catchy Silver tunes. So, why am I not convinced? Not sure. There is a nervous vibe to some of this; a little too earnest. The time is not quite settled; not always locked in especially on the up te... |
