| Jazz for aficionados Actually, my thanks was intended for O-10, but thanks to you too. ****My. work is never done. So much to impart, so little time****How true, you certainly.....wait!... oh, I see...IMPART. I thought you had written IMPAIR.Don't work so hard :-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I confess to not being aware of the fact that some jukeboxes played jazz records during the 50s and 60s. Some quick research showed that Blue Note released many titles as 45 rpm singles. Who knew? I didnt. Well before my time. You guys must ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks. I guess you did run with a hipper croud, I would have thought that by the time the 50's ended and the 60's rolled around rock and roll and crooners was the menu in jukeboxes. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, thanks for those clips of the bootleg recs. I was not familiar with those. Amazing! That band was on fire. Schubert, being a fan of Ron Carter, check out the clips "No Blues". | |
| Jazz for aficionados That's not quite what O-10 said:***When a jazz artist is recognized and acknowledged by jazz aficionados, that's one thing, but when a jazz artist is recognized and acknowledged by the general public, that's an affirmation of his greatness; such w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mapman, that is an absolutely gorgeous and moving performance; have to listen to that record, it's been a while. Nothing I can add to Rok's commentary; it summed it up well. Thanks for posting that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Why was there so much turnover in the groups? Did Blakey see that as his 'mission'? Was it by design?****"Yes sir, I'm gonna to stay with the youngsters. When these get too old, I'm gonna get some younger ones. Keeps the mind active." — Art Bl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the clips Alexatpos. Bobby Timmons was a great player with a great time feel and a kind of unassuming way with his style that always feels right and often surprises. O-10 is probably correct; but, if Bobby Timmons was the most underrate... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Always Suspected They Were Superfluous.****Not sure whether you are serious or not; it is, of course, not true. If you would like to know why it's not true, I would be glad to tell you; just don't want to waste time in pointless arguing.BTW, t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, understood; our listening room should be the place where music provides whatever it is we want from listening. I would only point out that it is not only musicians who don't shy away from having to make an effort to hear it. I have met many ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, THAT is a great post. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, thanks for the clarification. Issue of semantics and personal definition at work here. For me, "cerebral" and "cerebrally" would seem to mean the precise opposite of your definition. While I do agree with your description of the process of l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****She absorbed jazz cerebrally, that's the only way it can be understood.****Huh? O-10, please explain; that comment seems to go counter to others by you. An honest inquiry; thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, that clip is an absolute gem; thanks for posting it. A TV show about Jazz that even teaches the viewer about some of its fundamentals!! Amazing! And what a great reminder about our changing times. George Russell's comments at 14:15 are esp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados THAT was an intelligent and helpful response. Actually, principal trombonist Joe Alessi is a damn good jazz player. |
