O-10, you, sir, are not a music lover; you are a music opportunist.  And, you just corroborated everything that I wrote previously; not that it was necessary.  Why do I feel like I need to go take a shower?1973?

Fabulous!  What a heart warming story.  Gareth Malone is a saint.  And, the next time someone says "either you got it or you don't".......Thanks for sharing.

O-10, I realize that there is no hope of you ever cutting out the crap, because it’s obvious that you feel threatened by my presence on this thread. As I said before, if you’re looking for an argument please look elsewhere. I wasn’t aware that any...

****Frogman, can you be musically and politically correct?****Are you asking whether I can be, or are you asking whether ONE can be?  Also, what do you mean by "musically correct"?****What is your assessment when comparing "free jazz" to what I co...

1972:Miles ups the ante with "On The Corner".  One of my favorites from this period.  Love the grooves.  Some of the nastiest guitar sounds ever and Dave Liebman kills on saxophone:https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLA0077F372BB485C8&v=Ps0ka1tY...

Not sure why I should be weeping from reading the Wiki; but, I agree with your statement about language and culture (you can add borders to the mix).  The problem is, and we've been having this argument for quite some time, that as concerns art (m...

I just read some of the most recent posts.  I had not read them before posting my most recent.  A couple of thoughts:While I certainly have no issue with discussing any and all genres while any one genre is being discussed "in depth" (not!), I mus...

****Frogman's leading this parade****I am?  I thought O-10 was, since he brought up the topic.  Lead?  Too scary, given recent history here 😬.  But, hey, somebody has to do it.  I already expressed my opinion that a chronological perspective is ke...

And, btw, I highly recommend signing up for Ted's mailing list for very interesting jazz news, commentary and peeks into JALC.

A slight (☺️) detour before getting back to fusion.  I thought some, and Rok in particular, would appreciate this.  Ted Nash of JALC, friend and one of the biggest young(er) talents on the scene today writes about Joe Temperley, longtime baritone ...

****are you ready to go into fusion in depth; I mean to cover it to your hearts content, rather than just skim over it?****Sure, and I’m glad to see that you want to cover it in depth, because all too often "skim over it" is exactly what has happe...
