| Jazz for aficionados Alex, thanks for bringing Johnny Smith back to the discussion. What a nice player! Beautiful and unaffected guitar sound and feel. Jazzcourier points out his affinity for medium tempo tunes and ballads. Ballads are probably the biggest test of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados jazzcourier, couldn't agree more re Harold Arlen and Joe Pass. Pat Martino is in a class by himself among the living players. Astounding; although Pass is the one that always moved me most. He is sorely missed. I posted this recently and I thi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great stuff, jazzcourier; thanks. Understanding when and how it all came from is a beautiful thing. No mention of Eddie Lang so far, going even further back:http://youtu.be/ggJCrl9oEgQhttp://youtu.be/qgzAoDhzUJA | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of the most unique voices in the jazz tenor world. Love his playing:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b7_jnfDo42k | |
| Jazz for aficionados Kindly post some of those "superlatives" about "Like Young" by Previn; I don't see a single mention of it in what you posted. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I find it truly incredible how a person can continue to delude himself and continue to accuse others of the very things that he is doing. I really don’t derive any satisfaction by saying or even thinking these things, in fact I find it disturbing;... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I continue to amazed buy the Horace Silver clips. So many great records! Had not heard "The Gringo" either. Once again, great tune with his stamp all over it. Great soloing, especially Blue Mitchell who sounds amazing on this cut. The Village... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, fabulous clips of James Blood; very soulful and funky. The clip with George Adams was a big surprise. I've never heard George Adams play like that before. Great stuff, thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados You see, NYC ain't so bad 😄 They are great! Great tune. OK, ok, I'll do it; but the only way I'll marry O-10 is if he promises that our first dance will be to something besides Grant Green. 🙂 | |
| Jazz for aficionados I would like to, first and foremost, commend Rok for his valiant effort at diplomacy. In some ways it would be easy for me to walk away from this thread and not continue to get mired in what is turning out to be contentious and, worse, pathetic on... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ellington/Gonsalves: what is there to say? No realer (?) "real deal" than this. Gonsalves was brilliant; as was, of course, The Duke. Classic stuff from an era when this kind of music was, miraculously, a much more important part of the social con... | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of the things that I like about Silver is that even in photos he seems to be, as my wife likes to say, "a good egg". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of Sinatra, George Benson and the Breckers. Check out the band's personnel list; amazing!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iz3yk_BgGDc | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, loved the clips from "The Jodi Grind"; especially "Grease Piece". I was not familiar with this record and the more that Silver is discussed, the more respect that I have for him. What a great composer! Tunes that are interesting, catchy and a... |
