| Jazz for aficionados O-10, never heard "Left Alone" as done by Abbey Lincoln, but I have owned this version for many years. It is a beautiful tune; composed by Billie Holiday and Mal Waldron, but never recorded by her. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tBUNepCYH08I posted... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Beautiful Mal Waldron, Acman3 and Alex; thanks. O-10's reaction was exactly like mine. Seconds into the clip, I thought "Mingus meets Dolphy" (which he did many times). Mingus was a master at creating a feeling of deep earthiness and abandon in... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, thank you for your comments. For me, there is ultimately far more value in disagreement leading to intelligent discussion than in agreement. I must take exception with a couple of your comments. The first is about the relevance of the "tw... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great comments all. Re Coltrane:****Or did it lead him to develop a new language for expressing emotion. Or did lead to expressing a new "kind" of emotion; almost like a painter "inventing" a new color (and sub-question: Is it then a "human emot... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good comments Ghosthouse. ****On the other hand, if JC’s development took his music to a technically valid place but left behind emotion, I think that IS an objective reason for parting company.****I have a different take on JC's development, and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados He could create a mood with one held note, could swing with the best of them and could make music that was just plain fun. Amazing musician.Toots:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dzYLLetk6-Ihttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d5U3LN_MpIMhttps://m.youtube.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Yes, he advanced from the time that came out till the clip you posted, but he could not have played that solo on "Speak Low" any better.****You're probably right; I agree. But, I don't think that he was trying to play "better"; he was trying ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I find nothing wrong with your use of the word "drama" to describe what you hear in music. However, perhaps a better way to describe "drama" might be the comparison between two examples of similar music; but, one example is performed with "d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The Sonny Clark clip is, without a doubt, one of the best things ever posted here. Classic hard bop by some of the best that ever played the music. GREAT feel and a lot of attention paid to really nuanced ensemble playing; not always heard to that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I wrote my previous comments re Aaron Parks (not "Alan"; sorry) after listening to just two cuts. Listened to the rest of the record last night. I find Parks' music interesting and, as Ghosthouse says, there is plenty of drama of a particular k... | |
| Jazz for aficionados FYI, I am posting, as I always have, from my iPad. It seems to me that, in this day and age, there should be enough compatibility built into computers and other devices to not have issues with Apple/YouTube. Having said that, if anyone knows of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It is, indeed, a Rhodes. In fact, one of the tunes on the record is titled "New Rhodes". Liked the Pascua clip; a lot. O-10 is correct, 70’s Miles. Not quite the level of grit and excitement heard on "Bitches Brew", but the overall vibe is very si... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes. Not only did Toots start as a guitar player, he was a great whistler (whistler!) who created the unique and instantly recognized sound of whistling in unison with his guitar playing. Great musician.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NlE8eba6y9Ih... | |
