| Jazz for aficionados Starting? I've made that comment several times before. That's alright. I understand where the outbursts are coming from; it's all very transparent, really. The shame is that the gratuitous negativity and posturing about everything from the nee... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** It is the answer to much of the disagreement on this thread.****No it isn't. Much of the disagreement on this thread is due to a both narrow minded and arrogant mind-set on the part of some that assumes that the ability to analyze intellectu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados moto_man, I missed your penultimate paragraph. You covered my points in that paragraph. Again, good post. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good post moto_man. Also, let's not forget that some (many?) of our music heroes, as much as we may resist believing this, are divas and prima-donnas (this applies to both sexes) and are very difficult and demanding when it comes to public appear... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** but Hentoff, is a well known 'know it all' and all around jerk.****I have no particular love for Hentoff; but, jerk?. Why? Reading his bio I see a pretty accomplished individual who has done much for the health of jazz. [URL]https://en.m.w... | |

| Jazz for aficionados In keeping with my New Years resolution to be more direct, I need to make an observation: Perhaps unrelated (hopefully) and just a coincidence, but it seems to me that when the discussions here turn to non-music topics, and politics in particular... | |
| Jazz for aficionados motoman, great stuff that clip of the TV show. Always amazing to be reminded that music of that quality was recognized and featured in mass-media at one time.Alexatpos, thanks for the Hawes clips. Beautiful player with a distinctive rhythmic fee... | |
| Jazz for aficionados jzzmusician, don't know if you spin vinyl, but this is a favorite record of mine. Great reissue with fantastic sound (in mono!). Highly recommended, and available![URL]http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/50083/Duke_Pearson-Tender_Feelins-200_Gram_... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great clip, and your point re the politics of it all is well taken; a real shame. To use this musical term again, your post is a perfect "segue" to the Duke Pearson posts (accidental?...I don’t believe in "accidents"). Why a perfect segue?When I w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados calvinj, listened to "The Right Touch" last night on YouTube (gotta love YouTube); had not heard it before. "Overlooked" is an understatement. Killer record, and what a line-up! Grady Tate sounds fabulous; swinging with such a light touch. Fr... |
