| Jazz for aficionados O-10, we have been here so many times before that the recently used word "tedious" is just about perfect. Your most recent post is another example of what I can only describe as "The Twilight Zone". I will try, once again, to explain my position... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, interesting Cannonball clip from his later period. Now THERE’s something one doesn’t hear too often, Cannonball on soprano saxophone. Btw, Mercy Mercy was not recorded in a nightclub; it was, in fact, recorded live in Capitol’s LA stud... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****What I don’t get is this, how can anyone like Adderley and The Jazz Pistols at the same time.****Bingo!!! We have a winner!!Problem is, the person who "doesn’t get it" considers that a positive thing and an asset instead of the limitation and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Smart move, Ghosthouse. Will check out that live "Jazz Pistols" and report back. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, THAT was a grounded and insightful response. As usual, Rok, you see what you want to see. I welcome disagreement supported by reason, logic; and, yes, a semblance of good taste. The "bs" is not the product of disagreement, it is the product ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, possibly your best written post ever. Unfortunately, with some serious issues in the area of content. First of all, Rok, you are the one who has decided to apply the term "Oracle"; and sarcastically at that. So, please feel free to demote me ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great Cannonball, O-10; thanks. My favorite alto player. This record with John Coltrane as co-leader is classic and features some of the best Cannonball on record. Check out Cannonball's opening solo break on "Limehouse Blues"; amazing! And, o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Parmesan cheese and a touch of dry oregano is killer on popcorn.Could it be.....?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DD-4zPe4wNg | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, Ghosthouse. You see....now you’re starting to get a good taste of the kind of bantering that goes on here; well, usually only when certain posters are active. Never take comments too personally. Rok is one of those individuals (not the on... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****great blues song writer, Willie Dixon, said Blues is the Truth. I think he nailed it.****Funny, I thought that what exactly what I was saying. Beyond that, I think my comments are fairly clear. It's late; maybe tomorrow. Btw, nice Dee Dee... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, no need to apologize as far as I am concerned. You are new to the thread and I assure you that as "drama" is concerned this "blues" episode didn't even move the needle. Feel free with what you write. As provocateurs go, you are a sa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I wonder (not!) what the reaction would be if someone were to suggest that black people can't play Classical music? Our perception of "authenticity" in any music cannot be separated entirely from our individual life experiences and resulting bias... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Btw, you may find it interesting that DS cites Stevie Wonder's harmonica playing as one of his influences. Stevie's phrasing on the harmonica is killer. | |
| Jazz for aficionados My "bogus" comment was totally sarcastic and in jest, in response to Rok's bogus comment. I totally dig PB's band and the presence of DS in the band is the stuff of minor legend among saxophone players. Your ear is great as you picked up on the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Definitely not bogus:http://youtu.be/bG5xIG7EKFc |
