| Jazz for aficionados Gee, thanks, Rok. First you ask for an explanation because. Then, you don’t like and criticize the answer. And, best of all, you then accuse the very person who you ask an explanation from of being illogical, agenda driven and dishonest. Nice.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nah! Not “hung up” at all, O-10. I could just as easily point out that you get “hung up” on the “feeling” without taking into account that our feelings about things are always influenced by more than the reality of it. Some even let cover art i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, you argue against a point that I never made. I clearly said that there are important differences between East Coast jazz and classic West Coast jazz. As with all music the two different styles reflect their “birthplace” in many ways. My disa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados West/East:Sorry guys, but you’re conflating several issues and painting with way too broad a brush.First, while I’m glad that you thought my descriptions were complete, O-10, I don’t agree with your comment that East Coast jazz, because it often (... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No time to write, but a little time to cut and paste. This subject has come up previously. This is from two old posts of mine:————————————Orpheus10, as you point out West Coast Jazz is difficult to define. But, it does have some general defining... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Won’t have time until Sunday to offer some thoughts on West Coast/East Coas Jazz, but will then. Yes, O-10, I’d like to read your (and anyone else’s) thoughts on this also. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you all liked the clips. I’m sure it did no go unnoticed that all those recordings were made by younger jazz players. In my book all that music is “new jazz”. Straight-ahead jazz to be sure, but definitely with a conceptual approach that i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the Steve Turre clips. Good and funky player with a really nice feel. Interesting on shells too. Here’s some more current players who are playing some very good new cra....I mean, jazz 😎 They all have something to say:https://m.youtube.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, but I was just wondering what the source of that story is. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I like learning the history of the relationships that musicians had with each other. This is the first time I hear about Newman leaving Ray’s band on bad terms. Their relationship was known to be one of fast friends and I had always though... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sure did! Wonderful tenor player.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v_tcBVXnCU4 | |
| Jazz for aficionados You’ll get it one of these days.... I think 😊Attack you? Nah; just responding in kind. Curious, exactly what about what I wrote is “ridiculous”; never mind inaccurate? | |
| Jazz for aficionados What a bunch of self-serving nonsense. First, accusations about destroying Classical music while using as an example music that not only isn’t “Classical” music at all, but doesn’t pretend to be nor was, as far as I can tell, posted as such....rig... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I loved that Jackie McLean “Soul”. It may not be “Soul”, but it sure has a lot of it 😊. Very creative and McLean sounds as good as I’ve ever heard on record. Thanks! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just heard the very sad news. RIPhttps://youtu.be/WzKtAOQWmYk |
