| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, "Sidewinder" is a classic and probably his most famous recording; a great way for your brother to be introduced to Morgan. I think that to get a good overview of Lee Morgan that at least one of his early (50s) recordings needs to be in... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad to see that the OP has had a revelation re late Coltrane 😉 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, if memory serves, only two of his symphonies (3&9) use more than two horns. (Learsfool?) Prominent in scoring not necessarily in numbers.Conductor/score: As is pretty common with a work this popular, the conductor is conducting from memor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Frogman, you really like to fit square pegs into round holes; "All I have to do is chisel off the corners, and I got a perfect fit"***Not at all. The first problem with that comment is that you somehow equated "commonality of CORE values" wit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Vivaldi:Nice! First of all, if I were one of those players I’d be watching her bow as well as her....ahem....what a beauty and what a player!You made a comment recently about "heady stuff". Here’s some heady stuff: at the end of the day, as far as... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "nice clip"/Stravinsky "Sacre" : "nice tune"/Ellington "Black, Brown and Beige" 😉BTW, this was what I originally wrote and partially deleted before posting:++++One of the very greatest 20th century works. Amazing piece of music! Up there with Cl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Stravinsky "Sacre": One of the very greatest 20th century works. Amazing piece of music! Huge orchestra. Yes, the music dictates that; that is how the composer scored it. As you say, eight horns; and, two of them double on Wagner tubas. Two ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, there is an important difference between setting out to "teach" and simply correcting misstatements in order to keep a discussion relevant. I hope you are able to understand that distinction at some point. No, I don't think you are "bad,ba... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now I'm really confused. This is something that you have said repeatedly and here I was thinking that you would appreciate my knowledgment of what you have said countless times. I'm kinda speechless. What can I say.... | |
