Let’s keep the games going. This one a little different.As we all know, it has been established and declared by a well known jazz authority that there is only one single drum solo in all of jazz recorded history that is not boring 😊. Before we get...

**** if I put that record on, I would still say it was Monk, and I bet in a blind test, that you, Frogman the musician would say the same thing. ****O-10, I hope you don’t bet too much 😉; I doubt I would confuse Horace Silver for Monk.  HOWEVER!, ...

C’mon O-10, no need to get defensive and no technical game playing here. You said "fewest notes"; no?  That's technical; no?  Now, are you saying most aficionados won’t recognize "Naima"? It’s one of Trane’s best known. Seems to me that feeling ba...

Many wonderful recommendations; thanks to all. I would like to recommend the music of some less known composers and some unusual works. A very broad historical perspective can be very rewarding and puts the music in better context, imo. The compos...

“Lyrical” is the perfect way to describe Morello’s playing.  That clip of “Castilian Drums” is fantastic, pryso and makes the case beautifully.  Wonderful drummer with a beautiful ease to his playing.  He never banged on the drums nor forced the r...

Nice Frisell clips all; thanks.  Love Bill Frisell; one of the most ecclectic jazz musicians today.  We have discussed musicians’ “tone” a few times and Frisell has one of the most, perhaps the most, distinctive tone of all jazz guitar players who...

Audra McDonald is a fantastic singer.  Like you say, fantastic voice and so effortless; classically trained and flawless in many ways.  I love her singing and she definitely qualifies for diva status....cabaret/Broadway diva that is and probably t...

Nice clips, O-10.More record release mystery/confusion. I have to assume that there are contractual issues by way of transfer of ownership of the masters that allows this sort of thing; or, perhaps in our age of streaming, simple hanky-panky that ...

Great clip!  I first heard Sahib Shihab on this record from the great Phil Woods which features his very formidable composing/arranging skills:https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL55774CEA75D0E052&v=8_ILn8GDVts
