| Jazz for aficionados Leon Thomas is a blast from the past for me. He was a fairly popular singer in the early 80s. He recorded and album with Cedar Walton ("Soundscapes") which I stilln own which got quite a bit of air play at a local jazz radio station in Miami dur... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, gee, O-10, thank you for the kind words. Now, what is it they say? Oh, yes: "the smeller's the feller" 😝But a sincere thank you for the explanation. Personally, I love rainy, foggy days; looking through my window (stereo) that is. | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****when did Frogmam become the Bible?****No, no! It's not me that invokes God. Sorry, couldn't resist 😇Bolton, "good as the best"? Good as Clifford, Miles, Hubbard et al? Not a chance in hell. Oops, did it again....well, maybe that was ok 😈In... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that you invoke "your God" speaks volumes about your sense of grandiosity. I said it early on in the thread, what is missing in many of these discussions is a bit of humility; humility that acknowledges the fact that there is much to learn. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting role reversal here; love it. It was O-10 who would take on the role of peacekeeper when you and I would lock horns. Regardless, peace is good! So, thanks.However, re "the real deal": NO WAY! Of course, some artists resonate to any ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Honest question, O-10; and for the sake of, hopefully, interesting discussion. What was it about "The Peacocks" that you didn't like? From my vantage point it is a beautifully evocative and impressionistic melody that showcases Getz's highly expr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, who? Who?! Examples please. Since you can't provide any I will assume that you're making this stuff up. I guess, then, that Phil Woods is not a great jazz player; news to me. Sorry, O-10, no straw men; simply going by what you write. I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I don't understand what your constant beef against higher education is? Considering that only recently there was a heated disagreement about this very subject, and one that snowballed and ultimately led to Rok "leaving" the thread, I can on... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey, welcome back, Rok. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Czarivey, I think you may be mistaken. Bob Mintzer never played with Weather Report. He played bass clarinet (as well as saxophone and EWI) with The Yellow Jackets and he did play in Jaco Pastorious' band; Jaco was a member of Weather Report.Min... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ha! Good one, Ohnwy61. Interesting that we were just discussing Johnny Hodges, no? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sometimes classified as a "West Coast" player, Stan Getz was much more than that and defied classification. Brilliant, and what a sound! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g61l27gdXYQhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=az-NfhfL_-k"Let’s face it, we would all... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I love these YouTube mysteries. The alto player just doesn’t sound like Hodges to me. In fact, the band doesn’t sound like Duke’s band to me; especially the baritone saxophone which doesn’t have that wonderful huge sound that Harry Carney h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the Phil Woods clip, Acman3. Interesting rhythm section; very good, and with a unique feel. Some may disagree, but just as Latin players playing straight ahead jazz sound a little different than American jazz musicians, I suppose it w... |
