| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I am not quite sure why there seems to be an element of bickering or defensiveness in your recent posts. I realize that it's always tricky when putting thoughts in writing in a way that conveys the intended message, and I am willing to leave... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Oh yeah, and he did need a haircut. | |
| Jazz for aficionados The 70s saw the growth of a tenor saxophone style that was a direct extension of Coltrane's. Dave Liebman, Miles and Elvin alum, in many ways took over where Trane left off. This tenor style would also become a large part of the fusion-jazz tenor ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great to see new contributors/participants; welcome all and I look forward to your clips.O-10, not sure I am necessarily looking for a debate, although, as you know, I don't shy away from one; and while Rok's silence is sometimes deafening, he mak... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Is that it? For the 70s? We haven't even scratched the surface. Personally, I think that is a problem with this thread. We move way too quickly through an era and a style and don't dig nearly deep enough. I think that is why some of the stereotype... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Never cared much for Herbie Mann, and whatever one wants to call Herbie's "Headhunters", that record is killer, incredibly influential, and that band was on fire. If Herbie's playing on "Sly" doesn't show what a genius he is, I don't know what would. | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, appears there is some kind of incompatibility between the Kindle and whatever device you are using. I, likewise, cannot download your clips on the Kindle, but I can on my IPhone. In case you're interested, my recent posts were:Woody Shaw "Th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the clips, Alexatpos. That rhythm section with Motian and Lafaro was one of the all time greats. Speaking of jazz flute and the 70s, when I think of the 70s CTI records always comes to mind. Before Wynton came along and showed, again, t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Repost: Two players/records that, for me, scream 70s. One, an extension of the hard-bop tradition that preceded it, but with an even more modern harmonic spin; the other, from one of the true masters and which brought a incredibly high level of so... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Just my way of pointing out that good Jazz is still being played in this day and age. ****I think I've said that once or twice. :-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, very strange. I do check Preview and they also play back fine on the Kindle AND my IPhone. Will repost later today. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Isochronism, now THAT'S funny. I hope you agree; sorry. I hate this fu#@$ng spell checker! Using my wife's Kindle until my new IPad arrives and given my history of destroying non- stereo electronic devices, I have been forbidden from touching the ... | |
