| Jazz for aficionados O-10, hyperbole about the merits of Santeria dance is fairly innocuous and easily overlooked; hyperbole about issues that are relevant and crucial to a way of life so many in this country take for granted needs to be called out. Big Brother (whoev... | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of best examples of the reasons that this country (America), with all its problems, is so great:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ETT6n1GluwQIf you only listen to one cut, listen to this one. Coltrane's sound is like a ray of sunshine: searching, ... | |
| Jazz for late night relaxation For something different and "Jazz" in a broader sense, try the recordings of the group "Oregon". Fascinating compositions, virtuosic playing and improvisation and just a tasteful hint (and no more) of the dreaded "New Age" sensibility. Don't let t... | |
| Folk/Rock choices that are well recorded Can't vouch for CD versions of these as I only have them on vinyl. But if the sound quality on vinyl is any indication, one of my all-time favorites is Phoebe Snow's self titled album. Recorded and produced by the great Phil Ramone, I love this re... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice clips O-10, that music is classic. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for late night relaxation Hey Czarivey, thanks for the compliment, but I see no mention of wanting sleep in the OP 😊 | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I admire your interest and passion for native art forms and how you bring it into these discussions; I too appreciate and enjoy much of it. However, and with all due respect, to suggest that Santeria dance is as structured as, say, George Ba... | |

| Jazz for aficionados This music made me laugh; a good thing. Not only is it not the music of the native people of Australia, it is like saying that because something uses a saxophone it is jazz. Kind of humorous in a way 'though. What's up with the barking? | |
| Jazz for aficionados I won't comment on the Miles at the Blackhawk post since it has been deemed a "closed case"; other than to say that one of my favorite movies is "Ratatouille" 😉 | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****It's hard for us peasants in 'fly-over territory' to resist taking shots at you folks 'way up there' in New York.****That's alright; we're used to it. However, as usual, it's important, for the sake of the art, to set the record straight. I ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good catch Rok, they do indeed (I think you meant "quote" not "sample") quote A Love Supreme a couple of times. First time is at 2:47 by the tenor player. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Eliane Elias: have always been a fan. I really like her mix of Brazilian and jazz. I agree, she is hot. Btw, the trumpet player on the first clip is Randy Brecker who she was married to; brother of the great Michael Brecker. Nice clips, thanks.Tri... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ????? *****Although I've never been to New York, they seem to think what ever originates there has or should set the standard; "It ain't necessarily so."****I agree that the NYC arts community seems to be of this point of view, but this is probabl... |
