| Jazz for aficionados O-10, you flatter yourself. I agree that what is stereotypical to one person may be something else to another person; back to that in a moment. Let's get this one out of the way:You are absolutely correct, having points of disagreements is not "... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Before moving on to fusion in 1976, I thought it would be good to look at some of what was happening in (unequivocally) jazz:Second only to Freddie, Woody Shaw, is my favorite of the more recent trumpet players. This record features one of the tr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, loved the Herlin Riley clip. It should be pointed out that Riley is a member of the JALC orchestra and that many of the personal projects that the individual members of that orchestra are involved with are very forward looking; drawing fr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic interview clips, Acman3. They should be required watching for all on this thread; the Crouch/Mtume debate in particular. Here's part two of that:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jAtaxon9t5gIts late so I'll check out and comment on the mus... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, thanks for the Andy Summers clip; I enjoyed it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Some further thoughts on the topic of Wynton:Rok states:****The criteria is drawn from his background. He Comes from a very distinguished and established musical family, in the birth place of jazz, New Orleans. Knows the history of the music, from... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jafant asks:****Over what subject matter?****Jazz; or, more specifically, the idea that the music that Metheny and (late) Miles played was not jazz.****Why?****Its actually quite simple. In the case of Miles, because it was Miles who first critic... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 1975:Fusion being what it is highlights what I think can be a subtle but still important distinction between the players: those that came to fusion mainly from the rock side of things and those that came to it from the jazz side. To my ears Jeff ... | |
