| Jazz for aficionados Two more nice versions of the great tune, nsp. Thanks for those. I know the Milt Jackson version well, but had not heard the Clarke/Boland. The Boland/Clarke big band has always been one of my favorite big bands, but had never heard their sextet r... | |
| Jazz for aficionados We sadly lost the great Geri Allen recently. One of the most important women in jazz of recent times:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f6qS05TZmMEIn a trio setting with two other prominent current women of jazz:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=INcuvX6oudA | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, this is not a competition as you always insist on making it. Ella/Joe Pass “(not) as good as this”. Well, la-di-da! Kurt Weill, “out to lunch”!? You missed the point. A very important point and not at all unusual that you missed it. Once a... | |

| Jazz for aficionados There is often something indescribably right about the way that the composer him/her self delivers a song. Simple, direct and without any pretense nor concern about the listener judging the possibly limited vocal and/or self-accompanying ability. ... | |
| I am a "Moron" I think it is fantastic that the OP has found a way to make his music listening easier, more practical and more enjoyable; hard to argue with that and I commend his effort to share the experience with others. I don’t think he should consider himse... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great clips, pjw; and nice description of the record. “The Monster” swings like mad. Two of the fathers of modern drumming! Krupa was the first drummer to be featured with extended solos in a band. His solo on Benny Goodman’s swing era mega hit ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What would a thread be without its OP? As nsp suggests, the power of positive thinking is not to be underestimated. Some tunes become a type of anthem for instrumentalists. Among tenor players and within the tenor saxophone world ”Invitation” i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great music for a rainy Fall afternoon; thanks, acman3. What a beautifully creative musician Wayne Shorter is!I may have posted this previously; not sure. My favorite of his post-Weather Report offerings:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUDRRCQj0TE&... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything by Mobley that I didn’t like. Great player and great record!You’re right, Dolphy was the first in jazz to play bass clarinet with that level of proficiency. Harry Carney played it in Duke’s band quite a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A couple more favorite live recordings:Same rhythm section that would be part of Miles’ Second Great Quintet, but this time with the under-recognized George Coleman on tenor instead of Wayne Shorter:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3hnjrGvXddoFor whe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, Ellington At Newport 1956 is a no-brainer, but it was already on the top ten list that nsp linked. I think the idea was to add to that list. Certainly would have been on my list. mary_jo, funny joke. Here’s one for you, all in good fun of... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Wow! You saw Satchmo, Miles, Trane, Cannonball, Evans, Silver, Blakey (and others) play live. Envious is an understatement. I’ve seen my share of great jazz players, but that’s a list of some of the greatest of the great. Evans and Blakey are the ... |
