| Jazz for aficionados Rok, will comment on those great Silver clips shortly. Thanks for keeping the Silver flame alive. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I promised you some comments re "Best Coast Jazz". As I said before, I don't think I have ever heard anything by Clifford Brown that I didn't like. I have and love his recordings with Max Roach and "C B With Strings" has always been one of... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, remember your comment about my supposed feeling that everything you say has to do with me? Now, remember that word "projection"? Now, again, remember that word that you used, with unfounded indignation, describing what you thought I (and ano... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, you are not thinking "globally" enough. Green recorded several records for BN around and after the time that the Verve record was released. I was making a comment about the Verve record being indicative of Grant's playing relative to what ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I do declare ☺️, I have been touting the Breckers here (especially Michael) for a long time. I seem to recall the designation of.....well, you know....rhymes with bread baker. I am glad that you have come around. Michael in my opinion was, as... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, thanks for your evenhanded response; as always. Will comment on Clifford later when I have more time. I will say , however, that I have never heard anything by Clifford Brown that I didn't like. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think one of the biggest issues in these disputes, and one which applies to the music itself in a big way, is the absence of nuance. Iow, we tend to deal with descriptions of likes, dislikes, players’ styles, etc. in very wide gradations; instea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, one of my favorite tenor players (The Little a Giant); will never forget hearing him live at the Village Vanguard back in the ’80s. I listened to your clips while I wrote my previous posts and here my impressions of the trumpet player; you h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well said, Acman3. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I don't disagree with anything you wrote; except the implication that I was saying otherwise about chronology. I know you are not a fan of Benson, but he was not "my pick" as concerns this discussion; he was mentioned by the writer in the l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I expected a contentious rebuttal to my comments from you; or, at least, one with an "edge". I will not get into another pointless and unpleasant dispute about a player that you obviously have a personal affinity for and, as a result, canno... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Grant Green was a great jazz guitarist and I really like many of his recordings. However, it would be foolish to think that every player can play in every style equally well; few can. Personally, I don't feel that Grant Green's playing in "soul-... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I'm going to put the CD in, and hear what it sounds like.****What does it sound like? | |
| Jazz for aficionados If anybody thinks that he's making up that stuff about the rain dance, you would be very mistaken. The reason O-10 and I argue so much is that he and I know each other from way back. I am the other musician friend; the one who did practice that ... |
