| Jazz for aficionados Sahib Shihab was indeed an excellent composer, acman3. That clip you posted of his composition “Companionship” is a rather strange, but great tune. It also shows he was more than a baritone player; he plays nice flute on it. He was also a fine ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados For the sake of clarity only, I assume that the reference to “the Lincoln Center” in this discussion refers to “Jazz At Lincoln Center” only which is but one of eleven (!) resident Arts organizations that make up “Lincoln Center for the Performing... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good sleuthing, pjw. I may have to get that video with Dizzy. Thanks. The KC/FB BB as you probably figured out was made up of many American players who had made a home in Europe around that time. I always hear a certain energy and vitality in that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice pic. He looks the way he sounded. | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, good and well reasoned comments. I don’t disagree about Dailey’s comping and your point is well taken. Maybe it is, as you point out, the fast tempo that I’m reacting to and makes me feel there is a stylistic clash between Getz and Bailey. I’... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, indeed. Re Boland/Clarke:My favorite iteration of the great Francy Boland/Kenny Clarke Big Band was from the period when they had both Johnny Griffin AND Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis on tenors. Their tenor battles were legendary. This is one of my f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the Getz/Tjader recommendation, pjw. I do have that record and it’s a good one. Besides the great playing, it has always been interesting to me because the opening cut “Ginza Samba” is kind of a preview of what would be the focus of G... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Even worse than loneliness is to not recognize who one’s true friends really are; all the while looking in the wrong places.More Kurt Weill:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JXtY_APMKWA | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, no, spelled it twice as Weils. Seems to me that the name of a composer of his stature deserves correct spelling. Two more great Weill songs. Sarah sings with arrangement by the great Nelson Riddle. Clifford Brown on trumpet sounds wonderful... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, first, the name is Kurt Weill, not Weils; one of the most important figures in music in the 20th centur and whose influence continues into the present. The point I made was perfectly clear. I’m sorry you could not understand it. Also clear w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Now we both know that can't be true, but in my mind it is. ****A glimmer of hope.. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rule No. 5. | |
| Jazz for aficionados What else can you say? That’s an easy one. How about that you’ll stop with the provocative and insulting comments that start these stupid arguments. Or is this another one of the “most stupid, ludicrous, and ridiculous statements” that I have writ... | |
| I am a "Moron" Do I wonder how it all works? Sure...sometimes; and I have a decent (and no more) understanding of how it all works. Do I wonder how it all works while I’m listening to music? Almost never. I make a living (in part) dealing with nuances and differ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mars and Venus, O-10 and I’m ok with that. If interested in another shot at getting my point, please reread my post; but, since you’re so hell bent on shooting down any point I might be making it would probably be pointless. I would, however, ge... |
