| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, Alex. I love Al Cohn; thanks for those clips. I have always really liked his playing and his tone is definitely in the style that you (and I) like so much; a tone that leans back to that of the swing and West Coast tenor players. Maybe "sp... | |

| Jazz for aficionados ****A ladder goes up and down****A simple observation and comment, yet extremely significant, I think. Â Inherent in the implied meaning of the dual purpose of a ladder is the suggestion that it is meant for movement in both directions and not mean... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Some one very interesting comments, Alex; and, one very provocative one. Â ****As for me, I have noticed that more and more I listen or serch music from West coast, but there are lot of reasons to be considered why.****That is really not surprising... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, as always, a thoughtful post. We have absolutely no disagreement. I have no issue with your attraction to the tone of a player and I completely understand not liking the sound of electric instruments. The reason that I enjoy dialoguing with ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice clips, Alexatpos; as usual. Â Love Chico O'Farrill and his orchestra; as you say, classic "fusion" of Latin and Jazz. Â Fantastic arranger who had a background in classical music composition, which I think shows in the discipline and "tightness... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Came back from a long weekend to some great clips posted by Acman3. Â Nice work! Â As big a fan of Pat Martino as I am, I'm almost embarrased that I am not very familiar with his fusion work. Â Great clip. Â What a player he is! Â One of those players ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados So, because he only plays flugel that makes him better? Huh? I donât think so. More popular entertainer? I suppose youâre right. I will concede that point, but I thought we were talking about brass playing? So, Chuck Mangione is a better flugel pl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I love Barry White too; but, on a safari? đđđđ đđYeah, the choo choo thing was a bit much. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Orpheus complex". đ Oh, yes; just what I always wanted to be. The "one and only". Itâs ok, O-10, no hard feelings. Any comments about the substance of the music?And to hopefully put this ridiculous issue to rest, just go back over your posts and ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, cut it out, please! Â I will make this brief. Â I have no interest in responding to YOU per se; in fact, I would much prefer to not have to, unfortunately. Â You refer to me in a "conversation" that supposedly I "shouldn't" be part of, but you ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I doubt I called a comparison of three players ridiculous; I would never do that. Feel free to post my comments and your and weâll revisit that. However, and probably the reason for my comment, is your calling Tom Harrel a noisemaker; THAT is ridi... |
