| Jazz for aficionados fourwnds, I agree with the comments that what matters is whether you like Spyrogyra or not. Personally, I would be even a bit more generous in my assessment of "Morning Dance". While I can’t claim to be up to date on Spyrogyra’s total or recent "o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, I just listened to your "Giant Steps In C" clip and I can't stop laughing. Great way to start the day and one of the funniest things I've heard in a while; thanks for that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, fantastic post featuring the clarinet! That Tatum/DeFranco record has been one of my desert island records for a long time. Incredible level of artistry and style with a kind of musical innosence and elegance that was partly lost as jazz b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, your comments over time speak for themselves. Your stances are duplicitous and disingenuous and made to fit whatever agenda you feel is necessary at the time. You have often professed to being the "protector" of jazz as just one example. Ther... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It boggles the mind how someone who professes to be such a "protector" of jazz is blind to the fact that he lets his own need to be "right", not only abandon all logic and reason, but lets that need undermine the very thing that he claims to love ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ok, Rok, if you insist:From the obit:**** Tommy Flanagan, a jazz pianist who with a classic trio set a high standard for elegance in mainstream postwar jazz, ****Obit, The Guardian:**** Inventive and elegant jazz pianist as fluent as the stars he ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, really liked the Dick Garcia clips; thanks for that. Very nice player that is new to me; you did it again. Biggest surprise for me was Bill Evans playing in a very harmonically "inside" and swingy style. Much of his recorded work has show... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice! Yup, elegant and economical. Thanks for the great clip, Acman3.Tommy Flanagan's obituary in NY Times:"Tommy Flanagan, elegant jazz pianist, is dead at 71" | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, me too. I think we got our wires crossed a bit, though; my bad. When you referenced the reviewer on Amazon who pointed out that the record was reissued as "Juggin Around" my brain went to the title cut of that record. The personell ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, the piano player is Tommy Flanagan. There are actually three tenor players on the date: Jug, Frank Wess and Frank Foster. The two Franks were the two tenor players in Basie’s band during that period. While the two of them had very simi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados How unfortunate. Sorry, O-10, I don't play those games and consider that approach to be childish and small minded; so, I will continue to address you if I feel the need to and you are then free to ignore me if you wish. As always, hoping for bet... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, my apology to you for not making my comments more clear. My reference to your post was made only in the most positive light. Your comment was the opposite of personal and why I referenced it. Since O-10 and I were headed for, yet again, a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Tsk, tsk. tsk, O-10; try and take a closer look at where you’re starting to take the dialogue. It should be pointed out that you didn’t have to go there at all, but you chose to continue to stir the pot. You could not be more mistaken in your anal... |
