| Jazz for aficionados One man's opinions:-"Old lion with the young pups!". Josh Evans. Good young players. Frank Lacy? Ouch! -Freddie Hubbard "Skydive". Nice clip. Never heard anything by Freddie that wasn't at least good. Great playing, but with a little of a "tenth s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I also Have Pictures played on piano by Evgeny Kissin. Didn't think I would like it, but I love it.****I am sure you know the piece was composed for piano and then orchestratrated by, among others, Ravel. As O-10 often points out, it's hard to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, I was looking forward to doing my civic duty; but, they don't want me. Maybe it was the suit and tie.Have some thoughts about McCoy for later. | |
| Jazz for aficionados (Still waiting). Cannonball Adderly Sextet Live In Switzerland:Unbelievable! Without a doubt one of the best things a have heard in a while. The group was so "in the zone" that night that's its almost scary. Listened to "Jessica's Birthday" three ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sitting here waiting to see if I will have to serve on a jury. What better use of this time than to catch up on some of the submissions?****It's that time of year once again. There is something just not right with this performance. Not sure what.*... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Very nice clip! I love the sound of tenor and trombone fronting the band. First solo is definitely "Jug" (Gene Ammons). He's got that big robust sound and that distinctive slightly nasal quality (in a good sense) in the upper register of the horn.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, all that you posted re Urbie Green is true. He is a great player and one who could play in any setting. Not really a stylistic innovator, but definitely one who pushed the envelope as far as what what possible to do on the trombone; an instr... | |

| Upgrade-itus: Classé DR-9 vs. MF A3.2? *****I would stay clear as you can do better with a much newer amp.****Of course you can. You can also do better with an amp of similar vintage or even older. But, for how much is the question; no? Still, we digress. The OP asked specifically abou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Then the Music professor said "that is the most perfect three minutes of music I have ever heard". Notice, he said perfect MUSIC, not JAZZ. Interesting.****Interesting, indeed. Having known and spoken to more music professors than I can rememb... | |
