| Jazz for aficionados Oops, thanks for the heads up. Here’s what I meant to post:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=snetMOvbqRQGreat story! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ilikemiles, welcome to the thread. Glad you mentioned Billy Taylor; hasn’t been mentioned much on this thread and he deserves to be. He is an iconic figure in the world of jazz; not just as a player, but as educator and broadcaster as well. Martia... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That was very funny, jzzmusician; thanks. On a somewhat related note (pun), this is Frank Zappa's parody of the studio musician scene; a scene which, outside of LA, hardly exists anymore. Hysterical and a pretty accurate picture of the darker si... | |
| Jazz for aficionados jzzmusician, thanks for that Cannonball clip.****Equal parts traditional jazz and fusion, a cup of blues and a whole lot of groove. ****Perfect description! Cannonball was a monster player. His playing has always had for me that hard to describe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of live albums, 1980 saw the release of this live set recorded in Japan by (probably) my very favorite fusion band of all time, "Steps". Their recording "Smokin In The Pit" is one of the best examples of the genre. An amazing lineup of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I knew you’d be back, O-10, and belueve it or not, I was hoping you would be; I’m only sorry that you didn’t come back with a more reasonable and positive attitude. If you, like Rok, are looking for another fight, please look elsewhere. I stand by... | |
| Jazz for aficionados VSOP Live made me think of this; one of my favorite live jazz recordings. One of the most gorgeous and evocative jazz tenor tones ever. Stan Getz paired with Bill Evans makes sense in many ways; introspective, soft tone and emphasis on creating ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 1979: Live concert of the reunion of the classic Miles band from the 60's with Freddie Hubbard taking the place of Miles. The audience reaction is remarkable. Amazing musicians:https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLUSRfoOcUe4a_x1oeCQ7bBDAXjUcuGCta... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well gee, Rok, thank you for the reasoned and intelligent response. I realize that the concept may be completely foreign to you, but I really have no interest in arguing with you; simply trying to make sense of the non-sensical. ****I think it’s p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not meaning to argue and just looking for clarity in order to avoid argument, but I'm confused. Making a judgment without explaining is simple opinion; no? Seems to me that critical analysis, what you say has no value as far as the enjoyment, or... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Some excellent posts and commentary recently; thanks everyone. Acman3, that Weather Report live clip is amazing; I had not heard that previously. Probably my favorite lineup in that band with Jaco and Peter Erskine (who sounds amazing). Fusion... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Critical analysis does not change how it affects a person,****Absolutely not true; and certainly not true for everyone. Depends on the individual. The important distinction is that some individuals have an innate aversion to critical analysi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados C'mon Rok, now you're really being silly. What on earth does any of what you just posted have to do with what I wrote. I am well aware of the types of "fusion" that you were referring to. The problem (as if you didn't know) is the general disre... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Isn’t it curious that in spite of there being little (if any) "fusion" posted recently, it is the listener who doesn’t like it who keeps bringing up the topic. Why it also has to be done with derision is also curious, but a different topic altoget... |
