| Jazz for aficionados **** Although there are no written rules for jazz standards, there are unwritten rules that the vast majority of jazz artists adhere to. ****O-10, could you please explain what some of those "unwritten rules" are? And how they relate to the "Moan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I guess that we are now, as one of our more wisely disciplined contributors once stated, adding to the "charm" of this thread. O-10, it IS contentious, and it most certainly is not a statement of fact. You apparently missed the point that I was ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I feel music, when you see notes on a piece of paper **** Wrong, O-10, please don’t be so quick to turn things contentious. In my opinion that is the kind of unnecessary divisive and judgmental comment that gets us in trouble. If you think th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** jazz is almost like a religion **** This is true; for some. I would then ask that we consider all the single-mindedness, upheaval, hatred and violence that a strict and rigid interpretation of religion has wrought on humanity. With the except... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Today is the great McCoy Tyner's birthday. I think the term "great" is a bit overused, but in this case I think there are few musicians more deserving. His solo work has been fairly well covered here as well as his associations with other truly ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I tend to agree with you that his music is, first of all, beautiful; but, as with that of Bill Evans, Stan Getz (and obviously others also) there is, for me, always a pervasive feeling of melancholy in what they project musically. In Baker’s... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I like the premise, Alex. Beautiful collection of Pollak's works. I am also a fan. My wife, an amateur seamstress, has a reproduction of this on the wall of her crafts room:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_at_Sewing_Machine#/media/File%3AEd... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Imo. one of the best things posted here. Thanks for that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Two great versions. Mathis is great; very classy singer. Here's a different idea on what to do with the tune. Joe Lovano on tenor sounds great; every bit as unusual and original as Abbey Lincoln.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qsPwQcWqxw8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I agree, great tunes. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Billy Vaughn, **** Although not "jazz jazz" I like the music, and I was wondering; "What do you think"? ****Not my cup of tea, O-10. When you said it's "not jazz-jazz" I assumed it would have some semblance to jazz. Doesn't do it for me. Pretty... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ravi Coltrane, son of John and Alice Colrane. His dad passed away when he was two years old. One could make a case for why the church is at this address; you be the judge: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HCFYuVrUpq4Son:https://m.youtube.com/watch?... | |
| Jazz for aficionados randy-11, its right here; doors wide open:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jjq6rcEZ-J4Used to be at this address, but one of its priests (Brecker) sadly passed recently:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VKI-vE7KmvUhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XkFYS2NWo9U | |
| Jazz for aficionados I disagree. First of all, I don't remember anyone ever suggesting that if you left the thread "it would thrive". Since the last time this comment about "this thread has all the people it's going to get" was made (not that long ago) there have ... |
