| Jazz for aficionados O-10, those are indeed beautiful records; glad we agree. The post was intended mostly for Ghosthouse as I would like to get a better sense of what he likes and doesn’t like in jazz guitar in order to put it all in better perspective so as to bette... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, if you get a chance to listen to these, I’d be curious to know what you think:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nU3OwXyL5R8https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yhO4r9yXpIQhttps://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC6556E715379CC6D | |
| Jazz for aficionados As always, generalizations are fool’s folly. I challenge anyone to post an "old" guitar or tenor player playing the same "licks" as Metheny or Brecker played on the Jazz Baltica clip. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Bad taste"? Not at all. No reason to go there; we all have our preferences. Curious, you really liked the Pat Martino fusion record, did you listen to the live clip with Joey DeFrancesco? If so, what did you think of his playing in that style?.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****"Nothing Personal" Frogman****Gentle suggestion, O-10; practice what you preach. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Be sure to check out the last link before your post for some amazing Metheny/Brecker. Great "Steps Ahead" clip; thanks. Probably my favorite Jazz-fusion band with an amazing ability to play in different styles, "Steps Ahead" began as simply "Ste... | |
| Jazz for aficionados https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9sn1NidtGUCheck out Christian McBride; incredible! Those guys Metheny and Brecker aren’t too shabby either ☺️ For anyone who hasn’t heard Metheny in a more straight ahead setting this may be a revelation. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, Brecker! Probably the greatest virtuoso on the tenor saxophone ever; bar none. Love his playing. Fabulous! Interesting take on "Nothing Personal", my favorite tune from one of his best records. High intensity compared to the lighter approa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, thanks for the "Jazz Pistols" clips. I agree with you that the playing is first rate; very tight with excellent rhythmic interaction. I particularly like the guitar player; lots of chops, inventive and with a very nice tone that remi... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I just noticed this comment and one that may answer my question above:****To me, Zappa is just a name: "What do he play"?****Are you serious? You feel you can comment on a musician and his craft without having heard him ?!I have no words. | |
| Jazz for aficionados It’s OK, O-10; I still like you. Honest question: how much of Zappa’s music have you listened to and how would you describe it? Did you read the interview in that clip? What was your interpretation of it?Btw, I was not reacting to the "subjective"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I wonder if Frogman has it in his collection?****Funny you should ask; prescient, actually! We have a cabin in the country. One of our closest "neighbors" deep in the woods has been an abandoned house with completely overgrown grounds, a roof ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, I have no doubt that it was not your intention; apology if my comment suggested that. The tasteless attempt at humor in my comments was a visceral reaction to that clip. From that standpoint, I would say that the music succeeded. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Haste makes waste. Correction: in my comments about Cantaloupe Island I should have written "notice how both versions are FASTER than the original". Sorry about the typo. |
