| Jazz for aficionados Beautiful clips. Not only is she an excellent guitarist (self taught, btw), she is one of the greatest songwriters of the rock generation. She writes songs with a sophistication and (sometimes) complexity that go well beyond her folk/rock roots. I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you for the vote of confidence O-10, but I am not sure that I am prepared to recommend the Hank Williams Jr. recording. I do like Hank Williams Jr, but make sure that you listen to it on YouTube before purchasing. I just thought that particu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, "Records To Die For-2017". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, alright then. Just my own personal approach to this stuff, but I see no value in audiophile bashing, nor Stereophile bashing which only serves to pump ourselves up and set ourselves up for biases that only narrow our own openness to what's ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If you guys think that you (we) are the only jazz fans on this site you would be very mistaken. No one is suggesting that my suggestion would lead to more than a few more posters, but without much effort I can think of at least half a dozen new po... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If one wants to suggest that a "true" music lover should be prepared to have a very thick skin and deal with a certain amount of unfriendly and provocative "dialogue" just for the sake of participating in a thread about music, then I may be willin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great clip with Elvin and Richard Davis. Frank Foster on tenor; great player who for years shared tenor duties in the Basie big band with Frank Wess.Of course, can’t talk about music without time factoring in. ****Time is the interval between two... | |

| Jazz for aficionados As always, so unfortunate that this thread has to sink to this level instead of aspiring for better.**** Had he lived in Mozart's time, we would not know his name.****If you could understand why this comment says it all, and I mean ALL, perhaps th... | |

| Jazz for aficionados You're not digging deep enough. Imo, of course; we all draw the line at different points. Thanks for rembering my comments; but, you give me way too much credit for infamy. The comment about Mozart/Stravinsky is something that has been pointed ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I agree completely, Acman3; and great clips, btw. There is a danger in, in any way, suggesting that the importance of players (like Roach) who were "not known as leaders" took a back seat, in the real scheme of things, to the guys in the front li... |
