| Jazz for aficionados Who’s jumping? 😉When I made reference to Trane’s language in comparison to Bird’s I was not referring to where he had taken that language by the time of "A Love Supreme". By then, his music was fairly modal with fairly simple chord changes which c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Discussion about music is not about "winning"; facts speak for themselves. Moreover, music is not subjective; our reaction to it is (sometimes). For anyone interested in some facts:The comment that Bird, as great as he was, was not "capable of pla... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I’m sorry, but you really don’t understand; worse, you don’t want to understand. I have no issue whatsoever with you needing to feel that you are correct; the shame is that you don’t understand why it’s not a question of which is better. Aga... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, thanks for keeping things light and for bringing some humor to the proceedings here. Your clip asks an interesting question. I think the answer is best left for experts in a different field. Personally, I don't understand why measured and... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, FYI, my comment about participants with other reasons had to do with the simple fact that I have read astute comments about jazz on other threads and from participants who don't post here. So.........there have to be "various other reasons... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I am not going down the same idiotic road that you seem to always want to take when there is a simple disagreement. Your assertions and accusations are simply childish. All I can say is that I hope you are able to be a little more mature a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of my favorite records. Imo, this record is a masterpiece. My favorite rhythm section ever. It had been Miles’ rhythm section for less than a year and the synergy between these three musicians is other-wordly. Tony Williams, a mere twenty year... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, thanks for your comments. I didn't realize I was answering a question at all. In fact, my comments were made to point out, as I did previously, that "there is no answer". Milt Jackson may be the King for you based on your tastes, likes an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think a great place to start is by defining what "the undisputed king" means to you. King of what? As always, context is everything. The jazz language that Bird spoke was very different from what Trane spoke. Trane had a more exploratory harmoni... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I don't understand asking to be challenged and then not being the least bit open to a different point of view backed by concrete examples; if only to lead to interesting dialogue. Curious about and for the sake of better communication: what... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Joe Locke is one of the current vibraphonists taking the instrument to places it’s never been before (notice the four mallet technique):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DSIvUrVWKAQFor something really unusual and unexpected:https://m.youtube.com/watc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hSPJ96pRTI0Its pretty obvious. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Undisputed"? Says who? By what criteria? As you point out, they have totally different styles. It’s like comparing Charlie Parker to John Coltrane. Two undiputed giants from entirely different evolutionary periods in the music. Who is better, Bir... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Kenny Wheeler, forlorn and lost; like being in the middle of a dream that seems real, and you are in the middle of nowhere and don't know how you got there, or which way is home; then you wake up just before you lose your mind trying to figure... |
