| Jazz for aficionados ****swept away by the awesome greatness of the man**** Beautiful way of describing the effect that many say they feel when listening to his playing; especially live. I have been told by the handful of lucky individuals (mostly other musicians) who... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ah, GREAT choice! One of the all-time great melodies, IMO; and one of the favorite vehicles for improvisation of jazz players. I didn't know this version by Harold Land, but I love it; thanks for sharing. Besides being a beautiful and haunting mel... | |
| Why does most new music suck? ****It seems useless to me to spoon feed someone music deemed good by one person. As has been pointed out, individual preferences abound naturally. Seems like a pointless effort.**** - Mapman****I have near zero hope that Orpheus or Frog will like... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Bingo! (to the extent that I agree with the statement) | |
| Why does most new music suck? I seldom disagree with EVERY point made (except the one re Rok's style) in a post. That was one of them. Sorry.****Musicianship is irrelevant to this question****Geez!A great composer is, by definition, a great musician. Please explain your comment. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Martykl, re Amelia Curran: now we're talking! Thanks. Actually, my wife will love her; I'll check her out. Amelia, that is; my wife, I have already checked out :-)Doesn't suck!http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vMw9hte8IHs | |

| Why does most new music suck? Ok, I am going to try to, as Mapman (?) said earlier, "blow the whistle".I think this thread has a lot of potential, has inspired some very thoughtful commnents, and is just starting to get good. As is usually the case with these discussions we do... | |

| Why does most new music suck? Acman3, if those comments were directed at me, I think you don't give my open mind enough credit. I liked the Ben Harper a lot, the Jayhawks I get and like but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to, and the Sparklehorse I couldn't download; I wil... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Mapman, thanks for sharing. I like the some of the production values, although I don't feel the song (by itself) conveys the horror and violence of war with it's modern-musical-theater sensibility; and I am not sure it stands up well without the v... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Rok, it is as if you wrote my post for me. I am still waiting for examples of what others consider great current pop music. Not to argue about it (although there may or may not be disagreement), but with honest interest. | |
| Why does most new music suck? I guess that's one more to disagree about."Writing about art is like dancing about architecture" - Laurie Anderson | |
| Why does most new music suck? ****Do you think that the great melodies of the past would not exist had those who wrote them not done so? They simply beat everyone else to the punch. There are no punches left to punch.****I find that to be a strange statement. The great melodie... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Mlsstl, I truly don't understand the relevance of your historical examples in this discussion. About this, and your use of the dictionary as a reference, we will have to agree to disagree. But, I find this comment particularly interesting:****Ther... |
