| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the Larry Young clips, nsp. Great stuff. I agree with your assessment of the various stages of his career. Nice organ sound on this early stuff; very “church”. Another favorite organist. Just plain fun rendition of this classic tune:htt... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Forum etiquette; IMO. The idea that, for reasons mentioned and sadly borne out many times previously, it is best to keep discussion to the stated topic of the thread seems to be a hopeless cause here. I do hope I am wrong about that. One specific ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great posts, nsp. Excellent points and well laid out. Your observation about the pressure that artists put on themselves is exactly right. Musicians are their own toughest critics. All this brings to mind a quote often repeated by musicians: “... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Kindness is definitely not sine qua non in just every case.****Of course not and I don’t disagree at all with what you say, mary_jo; there is a limit to everything. However, my comment referred to a person’s reaction to simple and honest disa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I hope you can appreciate the positive nature of this comment. As Schubert correctly pointed our supposed disagreement (about music) is, and has been, “not so much”. Of course there has been disagreement. Why wouldn’t there be? We all have opinion... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, re “disagreement”. Exactly! I’m good with that.Great Gonzalo, thanks! I posted this the first year (!) of this thread. From his American debut recording. Although written by a Mexican composer, possibly the most popular ”Cuban” bolero:h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great clips, O-10. Context is important for the player; just as it is for, and influences the PERCEPTION of the player by the listener. As you say, Pepper always sounded great, but I don’t hear anything IN GENERAL that makes me feel that Adams, th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, did you see my post re Children Song no.1? Good to see you back. | |
| Rel "legacy" subs and fixing the amplifiers. oddiofyl, thank you for the mention of EBC Electronics. I have contacted them about my broken REL. So far, very quick and cordial responses and VERY reasonable estimate. I will check back in when I get it back. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the clips, pjw; great stuff!Tomorrow is the great Pepper Adams’ birthday!Early Pepper, with Mel Lewis swinging like mad:https://youtu.be/1QslvRwWfsIhttps://youtu.be/Y4HkSasaYkQNot so early:https://youtu.be/ZR_cedrvr7cLater Pepper, and m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, then my apology; it sure looked that way in the text. What you say about the odds may be true, but I’ve known some who have changed their deep seated views; and not always in the “expected” direction. Still, even it true, it is no excuse f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well said, Schubert. I would only add that the assertion “never will” is not necessarily true. This goes to why I have refused to comment on politics on this thread for quite some time; although I did so early in the history of the thread. I won’t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Tomorrow is the great and under appreciated organist Larry Young’s birthday. Coltrane influenced, he broke the typical mold for organists by incorporating Coltrane’s modal language. One of my very favorite recordings. I’ve posted it previously,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Loved that live clip with Dizzy and Stitt, pjw. Swinging their a&&es off as they say. Thanks! And the audio quality really IS good. Too good? Did anybody catch what Gus Johnson says at 3:09? He and Ray Brown kept looking to their left. I w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pryso, good catch. Corea recorded Children’s Song #1 on two other occasions. Once with Gary Burton on a record called “Crystal Silence” and a group version on the classic record “Light As a Feather”. Perhaps that is were you heard the song previou... |
