| Jazz for aficionados I will offer more thoughts on definitions and timelines when I have more time, but just want to make and stress an important point which is why some of the analogies presented don’t hold up. Nothing (!) that Kisor plays in that solo has anything (... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, first, some context:Every arrangement of a tune has a structure that is adhered to. Within that structure there may be room for a predetermined number of solos by specific instruments. Sometimes the arranger is very specific about what the le... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great Kenny Wheeler clips, pjw. Thanks. I’ve been a fan for quite some time. Distinctive style and tone; very complimentary to Jarrett’s piano style. Great bebopper, Red Rodney. My first exposure to him was when he co-led a quintet with the g... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hah! I love that stuff. And, I love the clips. I roomed with a trombone player in college and he played that record almost nonstop. But, that’s not the only thing I love about the post. I refer to how interesting it is that sometimes support for o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Welcome back, Schubert. Masterpiece indeed! How was Korea? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Correction, I meant to write:**** mary_jo, of course the question has NO “firm answer” ****Sorry. In adding quotation marks, I erased the “no”. Talk about confusing matters 😱. | |
| Jazz for aficionados One further thought on the issue of lyrics and why this debate is, as I said before, much to do about nothing. First, let’s establish some semantics guidelines; it would be helpful in avoiding confusion. By definition, a “song” is a musical compos... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Alex, thank you for your thoughtful response. I agree with your premise. Only thing I would add is that “passion” is not an excuse for lack of fair mindedness. I agree with your stance on lyrics. On that very subject:I don’t suppose it has crossed... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for your clarification, Alex. So, let’s see....You seem to object to the use of the word “nonsense”. You seem to find it offensive or provocative. Is that it? Allow me to pose this question:Which is more offensive? To contradict a comment m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I suppose it is no surprise, but I could not disagree more with your comment...**** Old school is the only school", and even you have been confirming this with your posts. ****Your assessment of the “new” Jazz that I have posted here is your... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sometimes things could not be more timely. Prescient, I say! 😊Welcome back, acman3. Superb timing. Oh, and great clips. Love Garzone. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nonsense. Case is not closed at all. It may be closed for some; but, not for everyone and certainly not for those who can relate to a different type of genius. The recent discussion about lyrics is a great example. Some get trapped in a certai... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice to hear. That scenario is replicated all over the country. A lot of young talent out there. Young players get better and better all the time. Unfortunately, “serious” music like Jazz and Classical will never have the kind of audience that... |
