| Jazz for aficionados Well, pryso, I would have bet my “six eye” copy of that great record that it would be the one in the link even before clicking on it 😉. I think that record makes my point about how genre designation can create a lot of confusion; and, for me, ult... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good point, but Gershwin’s music is missing one of the key ingredients in Third Stream, improvisation; according to Schuller’s definition. As you often point out just because there is improvisation does not make it jazz; probably one of the reason... | |
| Jazz for aficionados My favorite band in all of jazz. That quintet was magic. Great clip. Tony Williams was 19 years old! | |
| Jazz for aficionados In case anyone is interested or curious.. First, the Bolling/Rampal Suite is not jazz and when listening one should not have that expectation. It is intended as a fusion of Classical and Jazz styles. It is “jazz like” in many places of the score a... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview minorl, I appreciate your interest in these topics and you obviously have an inquisitive mind when it comes to music. However, what you and others fail to understand is what bdp24, myself and others have tried to explain and that is that there is ... | |
| Diana Krall Enjoy! Have a great time and please report back. | |
| Quincy Jones Interview “The only justification for looking down on anyone, is that you're going to stop and pick them up” - Quincy Jones“I tell my kids and I tell proteges, always have humility when you create and grace when you succeed, because it's not about you” - Qu... | |
| Diana Krall Man, some of you guys have thin skins! I didn’t think that responses to a post about an artist or a concert experience needed to be limited to posts expressing agreement, but used as an opportunity to discuss and offer reasons for why there is ag... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you liked it. I also think it is outstanding. Peterson was a remarkable musician and a true gentleman. As articulate and interesting with his spoken comments as he was in his playing. I don’t think the Bach comment was in reference to MJQ. Pr... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, “La Paloma” is indeed beautiful music. Classic “Habanera” by a Spanish composer incorporating some of the rhythms and sounds of Cuba (Habanera/Havana). Check out this rendition by a true Spanish guitar master and part of the “Romero” guit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There are two principles that I believe are really important to consider when discussing the relative merit of any music and that I have mentioned several times over the life of this thread. One is what I feel is the need for listeners who conside... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Very fitting response and not surprising; certainly explains the disagreement. Funny, some people’s idea of “genius”. | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Thanks for clearing that up. Sure, his opinions are valid inasmuch as they are his, and everyone is entitled to have an opinion and “has a right” to express it no matter how inappropriate it may be under any particular circumstance. Moreover, an... |
