Thanks for the clips, O-10.  I remember the first time I heard “Enlightenment” and being shocked at how “mainstream” and beautiful that cut is; not at all what I was expecting from Sun Ra.  Ra was without a doubt one of the most unusual and intere...

Very funky tenor player, McMurray.  I like his attitude.  New to me,  Thanks!Was listening to this today and it occurred to me that this tenor player has not been even been mentioned here (I think).  How is it possible that John Gilmore has never ...

Rok, this is what I mean about lack of focus.  Of all the possible examples of new jazz that have been posted here you choose as an example that Charles Lloyd clip; something which is more in the category of world music/fusion; or something like t...

Swinging amoebas? 😄Kinda silly comparison/analogy if you ask me and with all due respect. I realize you won’t agree and that you think he says these things because of political pressure (Not!), but your man Wynton himself will tell you that the ea...

**** Talk about the sax playing on this tune. ****Your link came through as “not available”, but both the 1956 and 1957 recordings have plenty of links available and I’m sure what you posted is one of those two. It’s one of my favorite Ellington/J...

**** My, my, how the mighty have fallen ****You once wrote those very words about Wayne Shorter. If I cared, I might say “Thanks, not too shabby”. Still a pro, btw, and more so than ever. Every other label is your doing. Once again, in the absence...

**** Is this Victor Goines? ****Sounds like Victor.  Looks like a young(er) Victor Goines..... PROFESSOR Victor Goines (Nothwestern U Music school).  One of those....you know.....propagandists in music schools.

**** Dave's music and soul are incongruous. Why does Frogman continue to connect the two? ****Well, I could take exception with the use of “continue”, but let’s get to the meat of it instead.  And I hope my response serves as an example of a reaso...

Rok, how about addressing the specific question instead of condescending lectures. Let’s see, you won’t take what Mingus has to say seriously, but we are to take your judgmental lectures seriously. Is that it? Now, let’s focus; shall we?You stated...
