| Jazz for aficionados Well, it is true that men are always noticing and comparing melons 😊.  You're definitely not imagining the similarities between the two.  First of all, they are both in the same key (F).  They are both modal tunes with few chord changes and changi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great head cleaner, ghosthouse; and one of the greatest debut albums in all of jazz. Â One of my favorite records. Â Re the Pitchfork review:Well, I guess I could simply point out that when going to their website I find that the first six "latest re... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Right off the bat let me say that I don’t dislike Kamasi Washington; I rather liked the clips that Acman3 posted. However, after having made a point over the last couple of days of listening to several of his clips on YouTube (including some live ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, after four years of this thread it’s obvious that you need to periodically stir the pot and create some sort of controversy peppered with judgments of a personal nature; judgments that you have no business making. Perhaps it is having nothin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** were you familiar with "Sonny Cris"? ****Of course; I’ve had his recordings for some time and "Sonny Criss Plays Cole Porter" is one of my favorites by him. He was one of the most prominent alto players and one who bridged the West Coast saxo... | |
| Jack Teagarden If you can find the limited edition Verve cd of "Think Well Of Me" it is highly recommended. Beautiful record of this great player/singer very different from most of his earlier stuff and featuring Bob Brookmeyer arrangements. https://m.youtube.co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Can't speak to the Turrentine set, but I recently picked up the Freddie Hubbard set that is part of this reissue series and the sonics are more than acceptable and a great and inexpensive way to pick up those classic recordings. Â IMO, the quality ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic clips, Pryso. Jazz evolves and morphs into different styles, but as always what makes it good or not so good is the level of craft and sincerity regardless of styles. Different time so different aesthetic. Your choice of clips is interes... | |
| Jazz for aficionados With working links:Something old. One of my favorite tunes; something about the shape of this melody. Lee Morgan sounds amazing on this version:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=edJjOg103ksSomething new. Heard this on WBGO this morning. Nice groove in... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, listened to the Previn "Wes Side Story". Â Fantastic! Â What an amazing musician he is and I sometimes forget what a great piano player he is as I usually think of him and know his work, first and foremost, as a conductor and composer. Â One o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic clips and heard the sad news a little while ago on the radio. Beautiful player with a wonderful and unique time feel. Unfortunate that she hasn’t been covered in this thread and just one example of why it’s maddening when general negativ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Don't know the Previn. Â I'll check it out, thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados For me, the Oscar Peterson "West Side Story" sets the standard for piano trio renditions of the music. Â Thanks for the Policastro clip, but I didn't much care for it; didn't like the drummer's "draggy" feel. Â Bill Charlap is one of the best on the... |
