| Jazz for aficionados Here it is again, mary_jo. Hope it plays this time. If not, he says (I paraphrase):“My greatest challenge every day is to wipe out the harmful and cruel things that I have done in my life; things that I am ashamed of. I’m still alive so I have ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Sonny Rollins’ “place in Jazz”:As Jazz moved away from Swing toward and beyond Bebop, three tenor players would emerge as the greatest and most influential for tenor players in particular and Jazz players in general: Coltrane, Rollins and Joe Hend... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Happy Thanksgiving all!Thanks for the music, mary_jo. Nice! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Clear and succinct answer, thanks. I think you know that I strongly disagree with your take on this, but you did answer my question. Question: have you looked at the musicological evidence and do you feel you understand it? After all, we wouldn’t ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I will never understand the silly compulsion some Jazz players have to try and connect Jazz with Africa. ****Personally, and not meaning to get personal 😊, I think a far more interesting question is why, in the face of so much musicological s... | |

| Jazz for aficionados “Disingenuous”. Nice. Must you go there? What does “feeling relaxed” have to do with “consider(ing) the audience when they play. The appreciation level of the audience.”? If in fact those dancers were to feel “life changing” pressure when perform... | |
