| Jazz for aficionados Interesting word, "malarkey". Can also be spelled without the "e"; "malarky". Of unknown origin, it is one of our vice-president's (soon to be gone) favorite words. So much so, that one speech of his is known as "the Malarkey speech". Rok, you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, you are without a doubt, the best friend of the under appreciated musician. What a nice player Lenny Hambro was. One of those guys who truly could have been a "star" but for whatever reasons never became one. He was a star among his peers... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, John Hassel, different approach to the trumpet indeed. I actually liked the Brian Eno/Hassel "Fourth World" record quite a bit. Some of the best conceptually strong "ambient" music that I have heard. Not something that I would like ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very funny, Acman3. Btw, very nice clips with Chris Potter; been meaning to comment. Monster player and carrier of the tenor torch at the moment I think. Listened to this today; what a great loss when he passed not long ago. State of the art ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****In regard to the "music critic" type of response; it might be appropriate in a music school or class, but comes off as condescending here,****With all due respect, O-10, I think you left out two key words at the end of that statement....."to m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ok, Rok, I'll play; for a little while anyway. Please set the record straight, then, and explain what you mean by the distinction and why you make it? Of course, all this against the backdrop of your well known and frequently expressed disdain f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Folks on this thread do seem to listen to music as if they were music critics, instead of music lovers.****Nonsense! And if I weren’t in such a good mood today I probably would have said "bulls++t!" We’ve been here so many times before that it... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "moment" = comment . Sorry. | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Apparently he or she is completely outside of my musical awareness. Is that good or bad for "Enigma".?****O-10, my moment was not a judgmental one. It seems to me that when a musical group that is declared to be:****the most creative musical ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fabulous! Thanks for that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of the most expressive tenor players ever, imo, Gene Ammons was one of the founders of the "Chicago style" of tenor playing. He could bebop with the best of them but usually chose to stay on the bluesy side of things and stayed clear of the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the clip and recommendation, Alex. Great Ammons and great lineup. As before, Jackie McLean sounds great. It's interesting how McLean evolved as a player. To me he sounds best during this period and I don't enjoy much of his later wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, Gene Ammons, pretty darn funky. What a sound he had! Nothing "Pint Size"(d) about "Jug"'s tone; huge and funky. Actually, the funky definition of "funky" hasn't changed much over the years and is really the same at its most basic: VERY de... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, thanks for the kind words.....maybe in another lifetime. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great example, Dave Tough; legendary swing drummer for the reasons you mention. Some players have "the thing". Hard to explain, but they somehow take things to a higher level just by their presence. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ygX_pt_aceMGott... |
