| Jazz for aficionados About that challenge? I suppose it's safer to grab at straws. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since all this is clearly becoming very tiresome, I would like to try and resolve it this way:There is a huge amount that has been written and stated on these topics by (imo) legions (literally) of authoritative sources that supports my point of v... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I feel better now 😀**** Same with the African slaves. They were taught Christianity. Had to speak English. Sang English church music Families that did exist were broken up. --- No African Music. No African language. No African Religion. No African... | |
| Jazz for aficionados At its most basic, what you and Rok don't seem to be able to grasp (and, actually, at this point of the protracted "argument", I believe its more a case of not wanting to) is the simple fact that the evolution of music forms is a continuum; they a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great record and deserving of all the hoopla around it. Very classy renditions of classic Cuban songs. Renditions so good, like O-10's bouillabaisse, that even it's one flaw (for me) couldn't do significant damage to the music. Why, oh why, did... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I suppose I should be glad that you guys finally had the good sense to concede 😔; but, as always, it's too bad that you perceive the opportunity to learn something new as a "fight" or "argument". Who was it that often said, "Lord, lord, my burden... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There is absolutely nothing ridiculous about what I have said on the subject. You disagree, fine; but, as concerns this, you are living in a reality of your own making that has no backing nor credence. That you guys can't hear the musical connec... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Pure class. I have no doubt you know all about that subject. If it weren't all so pathetic I might thank you guys for making it so easy. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yikes! You're being kind. Sort of off. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very nice young player with a gentle modern tone and very interesting composition style. Swinging player with a style informed by his island heritage. Really like this guy.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ7ERshGaH0https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Beautiful clip all the way around. What a player he was! Tasty and classy story telling. One of the best things I've seen on the Tube.https://youtu.be/D457b9QZ0RY | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, thanks for that Averhoff clip; had not heard that before. Carlos Averhoff was the tenor player in Irakere and if you listened to the clips of that band that Rok posted he is the person announcing the band and musicians (he was the only En... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I understand how deeply you feel about and from this music; very admirable and kudos to you. I will say this again, as before, in the hope that this might spark some curiosity in you to dig a little deeper about all this. You are simply mist... |
