| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I agree with you about the film; I saw and commented on it a few months ago. I was also surprised with how unimpressive Don Cheadle was as an actor in that role; regardless of the quality of the material.What you say about our preferences ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Sometimes the hole a person digs for himself is so deep that any kind of retort is superfluous at best. O-10, I hope you feel better soon; sincerely. | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's bad enough that a person can insist on, for whatever personal reasons, closing himself off to new ideas or possibilities; unfortunate, but clearly a personal choice. However, to turn to insults because, in that person's small and closed off ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Some days you get up and put the horn to your chops and it sounds pretty good and you win. Some days you try and nothing works and the horn wins. This goes on and on and then you die and the horn wins." - Dizzy Gillespie "How do I know why Miles ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, what we are talking about are not necessarily artistic choices; and, in the case of Dizzy, I don’t believe they were. Moreover, we may be misinterpreting, what the author of that quote is saying. Some jazz players cultivate the ability to so... | |

| Jazz for aficionados **** I refuse to acknowledge that comment for reasons that should be quite apparent.****Not apparent to me, so please explain. So, what are you saying? That jazz does not encompass more than bebop and hard bop? I hope not.O-10, your clips, as good... | |
| Any Imelda May fans out there Love her. Never liked rockabilly much until I heard her. Sexy as hell, too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados When the Bird/Lee Morgan analogy was made several posts ago, part of the reason I didn’t understand the comparison was that, if that kind of comparison to Bird had to be made, Dizzy was, for me, the obvious choice. He was right there with Bird as ... | |
