| Jazz for aficionados ****I've posted this more than once, why have you failed to acknowledge it Frogman?****Hmmm, let's see...... Busy with work? Maybe lots of other posts came in around the same time and yours fell through the cracks? Maybe I was busy arguing with Ro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chazro, that was going to be one of my recs to Jafant eventhough it's a couple of years old, but I wanted the dust to settle. Thanks for bringing it up. Beautiful and very poignant recording with a great lineup that includes Kurt Elling, another... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Tell you what, Rok. I am so convinced that it is the negativity and anger in attitudes like yours that are doing more harm to the music than anything else that I invite you to come to NY and I will take you to places like Juilliard and jazz clubs... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Miles Davis, Juilliard graduate.Freddie Hubbard, studied at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music (now the Jordan College of the Arts at Butler University) with Max Woodbury, the principal trumpeter of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra.John Co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chazro, I am humbled. Beautifully concise, to the point and timely. Thank you for that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you crack me up. As usual, you see (read) what you want to see and interpret it the way you want to interpret it. I know full well that you will always want the last word; some things will never change. No problem and no hard feelings. No... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And here is another big part of the problem. Had someone played this for you and not told you who was playing, I would bet you would relegate them to noise-maker status. But, this is one of Wynton's heroes as he admits in his diatribe. How do y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, as usual, you miss the point. You can’t understand just how much agreement there is between Wynton’s "diatribe" and my own; you seem to see only what you want to see. Wynton, in fact, corroborates much of what am saying; I know nuance is diff... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I will not be accepting your "challenge"; sorry. Allow me explain why (although Acman3 pretty much summed it up):This thread is going on three years and after countless posts of "new music" that the various posters obviously feel are also go... | |
| Recommended: live jazz NYC venue, 'Bar Next Door' Good for you; and exactly right. If you've never been, be sure to check out The Village Vanguard. Historic venue that reeks of jazz with an amazing vibe. Nothing like live music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I have never used the term "noise maker" to describe any artist. That is your phrase; and, not only would I never dream of appropriating one of your descriptions, but it would not be appropriate use of the term. You tend to use it to descr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jafant, I received the new Frisell CD just last week. He's one of those players whose recordings I buy unheard. As far as I am concerned he is a genius. I have always loved his music and am particularly fond of his work with Haden and Lovano. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, one thing l'll say for you. You are the model of consistency; consistently inconsistent 🎷 | |
| Jazz for aficionados You'll have to do better than that. Very easy to do; just leave out the F word; that was an easy one and we all know what it stands for. Then PM me your address and I will send you "Oh Yeah". You sure you don't want saxophone lessons? 😉 BTW, no... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I am not sure I am willing to accept your "challenge" for what I feel should be obvious reasons to anyone who has followed this thread (never mind, participated); reasons that point to futility. However, I admit that I am a sucker for a cha... |
