| Jazz for aficionados Great stuff, Chazro. The subject of Mazanero came up recently re his beautiful song "Esta Tarde Vi Llover". Paquito kills me...Tarogato!?! Hungarian instrument; think wooden soprano saxophone. Sounds beautiful on it; rich and warm sound. Manz... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A little while ago, the question was asked whether the comments and facial expressions of approval by players directed at a soloist are sincere. In the case of JALC (and most others) they absolutely are. Even more so, there is no better sign of ap... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Other versions of "Step Lightly"; great tune written by Joe Henderson. This one is more uptempo than Hutcherson's and as a result has a little less of the very relaxed and introspective KOB vibe. It too wasn't relesed for years after it was reco... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, thanks for the Bobby Hutcherson clip. In answer to the question of why it wasn’t released sooner, apparently the producer Cuscuna felt, at first, that it was a disappointing session. Why? Who knows; but nothing diabolical or conspiratorial. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I notice you did not limit or put him a box,****On purpose. Not only because he was, as you point out, much more than a blues and R&B singer, but I can't think of any singer in ANY genre that could sing more deeply from the heart than Ray... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, gee, O-10, thanks so much for the kind words. Why you are intent on being unpleasant and disagreeable is a mystery to me. Pray tell, just what is "dumb" about what I commented on? I was responding to a comment from Alex about drug use in gen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, as always, very thoughtful post. We are in agreement. The "establishment" usually has a hand in everything; and there will always be many many "everythings" that a person has to contend with. My point is that by focusing on personal respo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I thought you were moving on; I guess not. I appreciate your passion about this topic and I appreciate passion about any relevant topic even when its misguided. I was not "evading" anything, but simply trying to stay on the subject of mus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, re Previn (and the 3/20 post): There must be a couple hundred clips of Previn on YouTube, you write this:****Since I have jazz by Andre Previn, I tried to find some classical music by him, but this is all I found.****and, you post the clip I... | |

| Jazz for aficionados You're welcome, O-10. Jeez! | |
| Jazz for aficionados I would add that the posted Previn link is not "classical" music at all. It is Previn playing a twelve bar blues with orchestra sweetening. Previn is a wonderful musician, but this is pretty bland stuff; taking into account the differences in ge... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks to toudou: Frank Hewitt. I find him to be a VERY interesting and unusual piano player. Reminds me of Monk in that he has obvious limitations as far as technical facility goes and yet it doesn’t get in the way of setting wonderful grooves an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, don't change your romantic perspective on the Blue Note label. It was founded as a true labor of love and, as you know, produced some of the greatest music ever. I am always mystified by what it is about human nature that causes some to be... |
