| Jazz for aficionados Wonderful feeling in this collaboration between musicians from Cuba and Mali. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sVQ6sOxgekYCuban blues (no different, in my book):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oXUpp8RDosc | |
| Jazz for aficionados Beautiful trumpet playing. Wynton at his best:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pbvodHcDDqYhttps://youtu.be/inED9IicIpc | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I don’t believe that’s the case at all, that quotes about Wynton are misunderstood. It’s very clear to anyone who is a at least a moderately astute jazz listener understands what Miles meant. That, as I said, and you reiterated, Wynton is a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great example of why many have said that young Wynton, and to quote Miles, "ain’t saying shit". To be fair, the same can be said of all the horn players on these cuts. Also to be fair, and to give some credit where credit is due, 1981 was a time w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice Lou Rawls, All around agreement re Lou Rawls. What a voice and what style! I'm sure Rok would approve of the impression that whatever he sings has the feeling of the blues. Great singer. I love Stanley Turrentine and have posted quite a bi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's another one. This guy can sing. I'm not crazy about some of his original material, but a lot of it is really good:https://youtu.be/9l8R8CHpdk4https://youtu.be/cZ9XnEDvQl0 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Coltrane/Hartman: Whose name appears first in the title of a record or movie credits or.. is a big deal, contractually and ego wise. How often does one see the name of a well known singer follow the name of an instrumentalist in the title of a rec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, that was actually a very conservative estimate; wouldn’t want to be accused of braggadocio 🤗. Moreover, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Wynton has never played Bolero. Well, maybe at Juilliard, your favorite institution of higher learning,... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that would certainly be a disaster and one which I have thankfully never witnessed. I have been involved in probably 30 plus performances of Bolero over the years and the most memorable disaster, was a performance with a major orchestra (whic... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "That was a time where jazz music was a four-letter word in Cuba – literally! After many years of that thought, in 1967, they decided to create the Orquesta [Cubana de Música Moderna]. There were a lot of left wing people going to Cuba, attending ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great high energy stuff. I am fortunate to have the two original lp’s that this "best of" compilation comes from; they were sent to me by a relative in Cuba. After years of practically prohibiting Jazz in state-sponsored musical groups, the Cuban ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Eric Dolphy was a tremendous loss. Without a doubt one of the most unique voices in the history of jazz. This record is amazing. The rhythm section sounds incredible with that distinctive high energy and relentlessly forward moving feeling in much... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Please ignore my last post; something that I know is not entirely without precedent 😊. I must have clicked on one of the links in the sidebar and watched thinking that it was Rok’s clip; that is what my "slide grease" comment, in which the trombon... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Unlikely. Great spirit, though. Check 1:07. "What?! Forgot the slide oil.....no problem, just spit on it. |
