| Jazz for aficionados Marcus Roberts’ pianos:First, very nice clips by Roberts. Which is the Chang upright? Interesting question. At first I thought, way too easy. Jelly Roll’s "The Crave". Why? Jelly Roll would probably have played on an upright. More importantly, the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados sbank, thank you for that; I will check it out. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, my father would often say: "some people are not simply s&@?!d; they are, first and foremost, mean spirited".I could waste my time even further by asking what on earth I wrote that is fundamentally different from what you wrote; I won’t b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I want to congratulate jazzcourier on an excellent edition of "All That Jazz", hosted by him on KUNM. I listened to it and found it highly rewarding and interesting; thank you for the invitation, jazzcourier. I recommend the show highly to all r... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Frogman, (O-10) I've been waiting for an answer (Thank you) to (for) those questions (answers) since 5:30 (12:21 PM) and it's now 11:15 (9:31 AM) what's up?**** | |
| Jazz for aficionados EDIT: my, my, we are impatient. I believe I said "later this evening". No? Perhaps my "hav(ing) gone mad" has affected my sense of time.--------------------O-10, eventhough I am not a cynic by nature, I seriously doubt that the "major war is over"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados jazzcourier, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for your knowledge of jazz and its history; and, I certainly respect your writing chops. However, I believe you are taking this matter way too far. First of all, unless you have followed... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I would be glad to give you an answer that I guarantee is accurate. However, and I think it's very unfortunate that it's come to this, I have to say that I will not engage in yet another ridiculous dispute with you. My answer will be an honest o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Spencer, a little more info please; very intrigued. Luddite that I am: high rez? Thanks! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sonny, "Live At The Village Vaguard":When all is said and done, probably my favorite Sonny recording; even above "Saxophone Colossus". Perhaps the best example of what can be done with a piano-less trio. I have four copies of this lp and have wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not a big fan of the soul guitar thing. I like Eddie Fisher's sound and feel, just not his choice of "bag" so much; a little too "smooth" for me. Also, some serious tuning issues in "The Third Cup"; very flat to the organ. Surprised they let th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Sonny is fond of playing tunes that are not only standards, but oftentimes very unlikely choices for a jazz rendition. Here's one of my favorite examples:http://youtu.be/vGnYd33z0IwWe've talked about players and singers who play exceptionall... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "It's Got To Be Funky":Listened to the clip before reading the second part of your post. My first thought was: "some writers are small ensemble writers; it's a different skill to write for large ensemble". Eventhough the first "Silver And Brass"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Some favorite Michael Brecker:With the great Freddie Hubbard from the album "Mel Lewis And Friends" (1976):https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLeDkO1et6hFxVGTL0j8Hkr_syHZXVS440&v=jF6N-qGJDTgFrom "Tales From The Hudson" (1996):https://m.youtube.c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Finger Poppin"; another classic Silver recording! "Cookin At The Continental" has always been one of my favorite Silver tunes and my favorite on the record. I believe this is the first recording by the classic Silver Quintet and those guys w... |
