| Jazz for aficionados O-10, there was no malice intended in my post; and you did ask me. So, please, no need for defensiveness nor sarcasm. I am genuinely curious ‘though about what it is you heard that was different in those two clips. Please tell us; perhaps I’m miss... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mary_jo, the pairing of Stan Getz with Bill Evans was one of the most logical and beautiful in jazz. Two of the most sensitive and introspective players to play this music; the two together was magic. Their first recording together from 1964 (I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, aside from the generally better sound quality of the first clip, both clips are identical; the exact same recording, strings and all. I think you may be mistaken about the “enhanced strings version” thing. Gorgeous record and one of my deser... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, keeping the attention in forgotten players. Thanks for the great clips. Forgotten on this thread as well. You posted Leo Parker a couple of years ago when the focus here (short lived as usual) was baritone saxophonists. Good to revisit t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Two records mentioned make for interesting parallels. Two completely different genres and styles of both the music and production values; the focus here being the production values. Quincy Jones’ “Back On The Block” has been one of my “guilty plea... | |

| Jazz for aficionados **** I knew personally, professional musicians who played "Hard-Bop", and they would have laughed at you, coming up with this African crap. Like they were playing it but didn’t even know it. ****Total bs. There probably isn’t or wasn’t one single... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I did read your post. I did not comment on the clips (not that I thought it was a requirement 🤨) for the simple reason that with the African rhythm dispute so fresh I did not want to add any fuel to the fire by pointing out that the “Moanin”... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you leave no recourse but to be blunt. Think about all the times that you have, in a rare moment of magnanimity (unsolicited), said “I just love it when the Frogman points out the fine details in music”; or something to that effect. When you ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fair enough, O-1O, but I could not imagine that “giving the floor” referred to an invitation to comment (again) on clips that have been commented on God knows how many times previously. Nothing necessarily wrong with that I suppose, but not exa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just some friendly food for thought: I think it would be most positive and productive if ego and defensiveness would not so completely trump a willingness to at least consider the possibility that there is something new to learn; especially in the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice Don Scaletta clip, thanks. Very good player and new to me. You also got to see another of my very favorite alto players, Charlie Mariano; good for you. This has always been one of my favorite records, and the record that introduced me to C... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A couple of pretty good musical examples and demonstration of African rhythm in jazz for anyone who cares. I guess Wynton doesn’t know what he’s talking about after all 😊https://youtu.be/bkyOFkBAMDghttps://youtu.be/w3XsrJpaUXI | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice accounts, ps; thanks for those. Btw, this year marks what would have been the great Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday. Lots of his music being performed everywhere this year. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think that this thread, in the scheme of internet based and disseminated information/discussion, can be a small but not insignificant contribution to the education of listeners new to jazz. The OP should be commended for starting it. Thank you... |
