| Jazz for aficionados Pirius, two of my very favorite players, Dexter and Herbie. But, you don't mention Herbie's "Taking Off" which features Dexter himself and the always brilliant Freddie Hubbard:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7wcYrx4d3Jg | |
| Jazz for aficionados Re "Take Five":Good catch by Rok re the absence of Morello’s solo on the video and interesting comments about his timing which go to the heart of the tune and to Tito Puente’s version (yes, they are all connected 😉) . Morello was undoubtedly a bri... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Excellent and informative post by Learsfool. In response to a related question, and I certainly don't want to answer for him as concerns the relative difficulty of playing the different brass instruments: as concerns woodwinds, it is common to p... | |

| Jazz for aficionados ****We just don’t buy into the school of thought, that the "European Classical Tradition" is the end all, be all, of human music. It was not Alpha and it sure as hell won’t be Omega.****Kindly explain who and when, on this thread, made such a comm... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sigh! | |

| Jazz for aficionados Dude, now you’re really getting silly. First of all, there he is on your own first list at #15; although I (and many others) would place him higher. You’re cherry picking your lists and not accounting for the subjective nature of this silly exerci... | |
