| Jazz for aficionados I don’t think that being a musician is what might qualify me to explain since the reasons have more to do with societal issues than musical; although the musical are certainly part of the reason. The reasons why are probably the same as the reason... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, a correction if I may. It was a Broadway musical ("play") first. The cast album was the first recording of the music and the movie came after. There have been subsequent Broadway revivals and recordings of the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you liked it; it’s a real classic. That particular issue of the record includes two alternate takes and that is the reason I posted that version; the original does not. That clip I posted suggests that Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan were co-leade... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It’s difficult for players of this caliber to make a record that is less than good. Sometimes the stars align and there such a high level of musical synergy that the playing is exceptional and truly inspired. This is one of those records, imo. Int... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here’s a blast from the past...this thread’s past. These are the clips and comments on Howard Roberts that Alex posted a while back; and other tidbits...😉https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/jazz-for-aficionados/post?highlight=Howard%2BRoberts&a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ah, Clifford Scott! We can always count on you to bring the almost forgotten players to our attention, Alex. What a tenor sound! The reason he probably hasn't been mentioned here is that he is known less as a jazz player (although he was a good... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Heard this on WBGO this morning. I've heard this contemporary guitar player with Donald Fagen, Michael Brecker and others, but not his solo efforts. Love the feeling he and the rhythm section get going on this Latin flavored tune. Interesting h... | |

| Jazz for aficionados **** Art Blakey must be rolling over in his grave! ****I kinda doubt it. Most musicians don’t think that way. Does the music project sincerity and show a high level of musicianship? Many of the great jazz players are known to have objected to stri... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great to see new participants here. I knew you were out there! Welcome and I look forward to your comments. A vote for WBGO 88.3 FM out of Newark, NJ. Fantastic jazz station and great mix of the classic and the new (no smooth jazz).http://wbgo... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Probably the prettiest clarinet tone in (traditional) jazz today:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u9ATNrPpI20https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u6QWLA0Pb3sAnd amazing chops, too:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9MUwb3eNZzE | |
| Jazz for aficionados I can’t disagree with your assessment. I confess I am demonstrating my bias in including the Szell. You’re right, the Dresden has it. When I refer to my bias, I am talking about my (and that of just about every other living clarinetist) bias in a... |
