| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, excellent Renee Rosnes clip; up there with Bill Charlap (her husband) as one of my very favorite of the new crop of piano players.There is a truism in music, applicable to any genre, that a musician plays the way that he/she is as a person... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Suggestion, O-10, why don't YOU give it a rest; it was you who brought it up again (!!) knowing, based on past discussions, that there would be disagreement. However, if you ever want to discuss it in a productive way, let me know. No hard feeli... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****that's like saying you're going to practice a "tennis match" without anyone on the other side of the net.****No one on the other side of the net:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoQ1jmoxAUA | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****The ability to improvise comes from inside your head, the ability to act on what’s in your head comes from practice. Every serious musician I have ever known practices all the time. **** - jzzmusicianIts ALL right there in that comment. Congr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry, not the case and not the truth. Alas. But, no hard feelings. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Once again, the OP makes comments about the process of making music, in this case improvisation and practice, that are incorrect or only partially correct. I am not "on a mission" to prove him wrong as he has said previously, I simply think that i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****What would you and Learsfool do if I never posted?****Lets see......rough, off-the-cuff guess without giving the question more than about the five seconds of thought that it deserves:. I would say that since the beginning of this thread maybe ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****We all know a classical musician could not improvise if his life depended on it.****Wrong again, O-10. Improvisation is genre-blind and not necessarily unique to jazz; although much more important in jazz, obviously. | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of the most bizarre attempts at an explanation for why extreme dedication to the craft and always striving for improvement is a bad thing. I suppose it’s only natural and not surprising from someone who proudly proclaims to not want to learn a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Let’s say O-10’s story about "his friend" is true. The guy spent a summer with O-10 and he didn’t practice. OK. We know the guy was a piano player (according to O-10). Did O-10 have a piano in his apt? I doubt it. So, how was the guy going to prac... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Jazzmusician, you got into this conversation about a year late; go back about 12 months, and read all the posts in regard to this and you'll be up to date.****And here I was, silly me, thinking that I would prove Rok wrong re his comment that ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As my son likes to say: "Well, alright then" | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, since this was a "bruha" that you started (no problem there), don't you think that what YOUR opinion of what the answer is should be stated; at least once? I am genuinely curious and with no ulterior motive. Btw, I don't think that everyone... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 1961 was a extremely interesting year in jazz. The music was breaking new ground and going in new directions that, while not immediately accepted by all, was an expression of the inevitability of its evolution. As always, there was a kind of confl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Piece of cake:Cotton Tail:. Short solo by Hawkins, then Carter-Rouse-Woods and then Hawkins again.Honysuckle: Rouse-Woods-Hawkins-Carter You can keep all except the Japan supplement; I want THAT 🙃 |
