Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the link. Alex. Very interesting stuff. | |
Jazz for aficionados O-10, I was not aware that there was a "teacher" and "students" here, but simply sharing of ideas and thoughts; much more positive and less contentious way to look at it if you ask me. Serenity is good thing. Great clip with Toots; love that rec... | |
Jazz for aficionados As with some poster(s)’ knee jerk reaction to new jazz, usually followed by silliness and ugliness, there is often more energy spent (posts) on objecting to, qualifying and bickering about dialog concerning the "making of music" than actually "lis... | |
Jazz for aficionados Few piano players could invoke a feeling of serenity like Bill Evans could:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv2GgV34qIg | |
Jazz for aficionados I agree. Great tune and great feeling of serenity as suggested by Ghosthouse. Not meaning to be presumptuous, but supposing that he listened to some of the Kodaly clips, a perfect choice for a transition back to jazz. One of my favorite Freddie H ... | |
Jazz for aficionados I liked it very much. There is a very strong choral music tradition in The Balkans and Eastern Europe as a whole which often incorporates folk songs. I’ve always found something very attractive about the music of that part of world. One of the dis... | |
Jazz for aficionados Wonderful clips, Alex. Beautiful!O-10, no time now, but will get back re Dolphy. | |
Jazz for aficionados Please, try and control the tears ☺️:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0WCMzRLov58If that fails, try this (is this jazz-jazz?):https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL0D56CCF56E7DF4C8&v=IrQGcIIwwR0 | |
Jazz for aficionados Alex, my favorite "The Far Side" cartoon:https://www.reddit.com/r/Accordion/comments/3pvqb7/the_far_side/ | |
Jazz for aficionados The possible layers of "analysis" are pracrically endless. Should I have? Possibly, depending on how deep one wants to dig; I wasn’t going there. Roma or Gypsies; fascinating history and some truth to what you say. Feel free to elaborate. | |
Jazz for aficionados Very interesting comments, Alex, and I agree completely; the origins of "taste" can indeed be very elusive. I love ethnic music from that part of the world as well as most ethnic musics. The subject of "soul" comes up frequently here and I think... | |
Jazz for aficionados Alex (and others), here's a rarity, Art Pepper on clarinet. Not exactly the most accomplished clarinetist, but always with that fantastic sense of swing that he had in spades which, for a nice relaxed tune like this, renders moot any limitations... | |
Jazz for aficionados There’s really not much that can be added that isn’t obvious to anyone with a reasonable level of intellect; and therein lies the fundamental problem here. This would normally (and ideally) not be an issue at all if it weren’t accompanied by an eq... | |
Jazz for aficionados **** The Frogman just wants to strut his stuff ****As is often the case when we come to this impasse, Rok, you would be dead wrong. Rok, you simply don't get it; so, rant away. Now, if you were to have an honest interest about any real motivatio... | |
Jazz for aficionados Excellent comments, Ghosthouse; you are exactly right. Re the objective/subjective issue:As I see it, the main sticking point in the debate is what often seems to be the assumption by some that when objective criteria are used to judge some or all... |
