| Jazz for aficionados Tap dancing, anyone?I don’t have a problem with your reaction eventhough I don’t agree with it in the least, but what is the point of making a comparison to Mr. DATA if it is not applicable to Lagrene? | |
| Jazz for aficionados It’s alright, Rok; straight ahead. I have no illusions about your willingness to recognize that your “truth(fullness”) is just that...yours, and yours only. I could offer other references in further rebuttal, but it would be pointless. What has... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Show me ONE example of a big time black Jazz player making negative comments about a white player, when asked to comment by a media or Jazz critic type. Just ONE example. ****Easy!####(Leonard) Feather (for Downbeat): It was Don Ellis. Have y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, nonsense, find me and post ONE reference from a credible source to the notion that “black musicians never criticized other musicians when asked to comment”. Musicians have always been each other’s toughest critics. Rok, you make stuff up to s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And who is it that has “left” the thread a few times huffing and puffing due to disagreement? 😖https://youtu.be/jKPbB-C0qjQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados inna, the quote is:”If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know” - Louis ArmstrongBtw, not at all surprised that you thought Hamasyan’s playing was “gibberish”, given what your tastes seem to be. Maybe next time. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Funny how we tend to see what we want to see, and ignore what doesn’t fit our political agenda. From the same Wiki article:**** all linked by the common bonds of African-American and European-American musical parentage ****Parentage:a : descent fr... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Interesting discussion about Armenian and other ethnic musics; thanks for that. For me personally some of the posted music strikes me as “ethnic-lite” with the use of modern electronic instruments (non-traditional) and an overall “World Music” vi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados “make”= name | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, I knew that Monk had adopted his middle name Sphere, but did not know about the connection with Speer. What parent would make a child “Sphere”, after all? Then again, we do have Moon Unit and Dweezil. Zappa’s oldest daughter escaped bein... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great Buster Williams clips! Let’s not forget his work with the band “Sphere”. Imagine a tribute band named after a great musician with the middle name Sphere (!!) which recorded its debut album on the very day that he (Monk) died....without being... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey, no apology necessary; it is in fact on the Sam Jones reissue and is a Sam Jones tune. There’s often a lot of ambiguity and cinflicting info re recording dates and reissues; always surprises me. What a great player Sam Jones was; truly one of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fabulous, acman3. Billy Higgins!!!!!! Anyone who doesn’t like drum solos should listen to that. I asked myself, “why would Cedar Walton be announcing the tunes when it’s a Sam Jones date?”. That tune, as you know, was a bonus track on the CD re... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another Larry Willis (and Fort Apache Band) fan here. Thanks for the links and heads up about the 10/20 gig, pjw; I just may check it out myself.One very funky dude:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ovMrlJroXcY |
