| Jazz for aficionados You are welcome, pjw. There are trends in musical styles and often a player develops a certain style that becomes the stylistic seed for a younger player to then take further. The player who contributed that seed may or may not take it further h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, as always, I am sorry that a more enlightened discussion is not possible. There are two things going on here as is usual. You want to be right about an incomplete viewpoint that you hold no matter how much evidence is presented that points t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Of course it was evolutionary. So, if it was not evolutionary how did it come to be? O-10, there is a great deal written on the subject by the players themselves not to mention jazz historians. Please explain how “osmosis” helps to understand i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, interesting question and great perspective. Personally, I would have to say that I don’t hear enough bebop in that 1944 recording to call it “bebop”. I don’t think that there is going to be universal agreement on where exactly it was that the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Boy, wish I had said that 😎. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, please reread my post and try a little harder to understand what I wrote and don’t be so quick to dismiss; would make for much nicer dialogue. Ok, then, since I made no claim as to what the first bebop recording was and your mistaken interp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Re the ”first” bebop recording:pjw brings up what I think is one of the most interesting footnotes in the history of jazz. Interesting first and foremost for the musical significance of it, but also because of other factors around this important e... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very interesting topic, pjw. I will offer some thoughts later today when I have some time. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Don’t know about “best”, but Herbie Hancock is definitely one of the best and he is far more than just a fusion artist. His creds as a straight-ahead jazz artist are beyond reproach as his discography clearly demonstrates. Like the recently disc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice clips, Alex. Early Phil Woods! Love it. More Phil Woods from the same period. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a8s9scWGpt4https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CVIUHj6gJzUhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CVIUHj6gJzU | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Pay attention people!! ****Oh, I’m paying attention; big time. So, what do you suggest we do re the pointy headed do gooders. I would not be nearly as generous with my description, btw. (I had a feeling you were out there 😊) | |
| Jazz for aficionados “Headhunters” ideally should be listened to beginning to end. It is one of those records where the tunes are in a certain order and that work as a “Suite” of sorts. That’s the way I hear it anyway. One of the biggest selling jazz albums of all ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Herbie Hancock’s “Headhunters” band was one of the greatest bands ever assembled. Thanks, acman3. I posted that a couple of years ago and as I remember Rok’s comment was about Herbie’s shoes 😊. Absolutely killer ensemble. If one puts his genre-neu... |
