| Jazz for aficionados **** What happened to the complete, detailed, in-depth, comprehensive, time no object, thorough, and exhaustive review of the music of Horace Silver? ****Excellent question!O-10, if your question about Blakey's drumming style is an honest one, I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, classic, and imo one of the very greatest trumpet solos on record:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RbaGDDbpcQ4 | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, we'll simply have to agree to disagree re Mitchell. As much a I lile Byrd, I like Mitchell more than Byrd. You like Byrd; I'm cool with that. Now, as far as your "yardsticks" are concerned, it would be helpful if you would tell us and ex... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here I was, thinking that over the last two days you were compiling a comprehensive list of albums and clips by Horace Silver; little did I know that you were ruminating over my comments 😊. O-10, I appreciate you striving for clarity and, more imp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nothing kinda vague here. One of my favorite Silver records, but strangely obscure and unknown. Horace Silver/ Eddie Harris; a match made in heaven (Ralph Moore is not too shabby either):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XTdCMqHbwbM | |
| Jazz for aficionados https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LWaOV2U5vycDon’t know what to think of this pianist; need to hear more. Very strange YouTube clip, however. I listened to it and I heard what were clearly two (not so subtle) edits at 1:35 and 3:07 and heard what I th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I like and appreciate clarity in communication; I think the lack of it has led to a lot of silly bickering here. For that reason, these and any other related comments/questions are in that spirit and an attempt to avoid miscommunication goi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I asked the question because on the clip you posted Silver solos (what I thought you meant by "expand") for about three minutes and on the clip from Newport he solos for about six minutes. He also plays much more percussively (like a drummer) on ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Since I couldn't decide which one of these I liked best, I pasted both of them, and now you can decide for me.****Silver's own version of Nica's Dream is my favorite of the two; by a long shot! Blakey's version is too slow. There is no law t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados All his playing has that quality, but I would say that this is an even better example:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dUAu_3R0VPI | |
| Jazz for aficionados It could be argued that Horace Silver did not have the blazing technique of some other pianists; but, in his case, this was irrelevant. He was, without a doubt, one of the most individualistic pianists and was very respected by other musicians. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "segue": to transition smoothly from one topic to another. In music: to proceed without pause from one theme to another. In the "Groves Dictionary Of Music" one can find "segue" right before "Señor Blues" which can be found right before Silve... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Arthur Blythe, without a doubt one of the most unique alto sounds with that fast vibrato. He was one of the first pre-"young lions". Caused quite a stir when he came on the scene and I lost track of him and his work. Interesting player. I lik... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****"Funkettes"***Nah, I made that up 🙃. Re their dancing: it brings up an interesting point. The video and audio tracks are not in sync (technical problem) so no matter what, the dancing won't look as tight as it would if the tracks were in sy... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****....kill it, as usual**** In the good sense; of course. |
