| Jazz for aficionados At almost three years of age, 5000 posts and 1.5 million (!!!) views this thread, in spite of the disagreements, bickering and drama is clearly doing something right. The small number of active participants is, I think, an indication of its poten... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alexatpos very nice clips. I am getting a sense of your musical preferences and I like it. Thanks for sharing. You might like this lesser known guitar player; one of my favorite guitar players who is seldom mentioned:[URL]https://m.youtube.com/... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I really wish you would stop with the unfounded criticisms and attacks. Disagreement backed by examples and data is not "negativity". Negativity on the part of Rok and, more recently, you is what may have driven some posters away. What on ea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very good and insightful post, Alexatpos. ****it is not a shame not knowing something, but to remain in ignorance is. Finally, even if someone chooses that he likes more 'simple' or older forms of music, there is nothing wrong with that, as long ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just listened to the Clare Fischer "Somewhere..." Wow! More later. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chazro, the Maraca clip is fabulous! I can't thank you enough for that. Love how the chamber orchestra weaves in and out of the Jazz and vise versa. Fantastic instrumentalists and improvisers. I have a lot more to say about it and your other c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, as much as I hate saying things like this, I think that what is really going on here is that you are a bitter and angry person, unnecessarily fueling the flames of our little soap opera; as demonstrated by your last post. Here you go again r... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Indeed! And very nice allegory, btw. Brought to mind Plato's "Allegory of the Cave". Regards | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice post, Chazro. Will check out the clips and get back later. It's 1-2, 1-2-3 for me tonight. Thanks for the words re clave. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, THAT was a constructive comment, O-10! Does that mean that you don't want to have discussions? Apparently not. If I am mistaken, tell me what about my previous post is not true. Love Art Farmer, btw. And what, pray tell, would cause you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I have to ask this question: Your first referred to your "smooth jazz" posts as "good current jazz CDs" and complained that they had been ignored. Now, you refer to them as "formulaic and the jams sound as though they had a cookie cutter fo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****All music is written by humans and all humans are creatures of their time......(etc.)****Schubert, that was a fantastic post. Nothing else I can add to it. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I am sincerely disappointed that after all this time I feel reduced to having to ask the question "what the hell is wrong with you?". You want to continue to insist on using some sort of hierarchy of merit dictated by you and your own agenda (and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It boggles the mind how it’s possible for some people to create a reality so detached from what is. Here is what is:The negativity has consistently come from Rock; and you, O-10. The rub has been (and I can’t believe I have to say this again) the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ohnwy61, I used to ask myself that question. For me it's really a lot less about Rok than it might seem to be. I find that there are a lot of mistaken ideas about musicians, their culture and their craft. It's an opportunity to bring a differen... |
