| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I think you are either misrepresenting or misinterpreting what Duke said. “There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind”. What he meant by that comment is that there is good and bad music in any genre or style. Duke was ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here’s an interesting question:You’ve just gone on a hot date and, as you said earlier, you’re feeling romantic and sense an opportunity. After a wonderful dinner out you say: “Hey, baby, do you want to come up to my place and check out my lp coll... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Not that simple. Depends on what exactly about the various “things” you are talking about, There is a lot of commonality in all music in spite of the obvious differences. Those who don’t get that are just scratching the surface; it’s much easier (... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, thanks for Monk’s “Dinah”. I hadn’t listened to that record for some time eventhough it’s a favorite, I love Monk’s “stride” playing ; great left hand.I’m sure you know that your clip is actually Take 2 from the session. The reissue which I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Without a doubt our tastes in music are a reflection of personality traits. The way I see it, one of the most difficult things for most people to do is to be comfortable “in the gray”; there is a tendency to want things to be either black or white... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not a whole lot I could say about Monk that hasn’t been said many times over; I think “genius” pretty much covers it. Very eccentric piano playing, but genius. Wonderful clips acman3, enjoyed everyone one. Biggest surprise was Toshiko’s; probab... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Welcome to the thread bebopperaz. Dexter has been very well covered here; a few times. Great compilation record, “Ballads”. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Having a tough time believing that you are suggesting that Malmsteen is a better player than Beck. We all have different tastes and there’s no accounting for taste; but, let’s see....Beck: beautifully nuanced expression, great control and variety... | |
| The Best Piano Works of the 20th Century Speaking of Shostakovich, an addition to the many great nominations already made would have to be his “24 Preludes and Fugues”. Inspired by a visit to J.S. Bach’s home this work is in the mold of Bach’s “The Well Tempered Clavier” in that it offe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No, just rolling of the “r” on the word “rufen”. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fabulous. Probably my favorite diva. Check out her Schubert lieder. How’s this for sounding and looking gorgeous? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_IzI0vn8egw | |
| Jazz for aficionados We have a (co)winner!pryso, that’s it! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc4tT-55ZzII think Beth Hart is great. Soulful, and very sexy! Glad you enjoyed that.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bOQ07fVVDJQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Why didn’t she come back in after the trumpet solo. Seems like something is missing. Part of the tune left off. ****I get what you mean, but it’s simple; it’s the chosen arrangement. Dealer’s choice, so to speak. I suppose we’re used to havin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winn....! Well, almost.mary_jo is correct; it is Miles. Excellent! However, the question was who can identify the music; not just the player? Aside from the sound of Miles’ trumpet, the music and the way it was r... |
