| Classical Music for Aficionados **** Their culture is "how am I doing " , Ours is " how are we doing " .**** Interesting comment coming from a learned professor, but to assume that in music making this is necessarily a “problem” is a mistake, IMO. I assume that he was speaking a... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Sometimes, a double bass. Still other times, piano or a wind; sometimes a third violin. Generally speaking and re nomenclature, whatever the fifth added instrument, that is the type of quintet that it, technically, is referred to as. Schubert’s Qu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Talk about underappreciated! My favorite flugelhorn player:https://youtu.be/HaEF6xfijL0https://youtu.be/bwZiJAFWWfwhttps://youtu.be/5wKLBLgkSBk | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you, Marija; same to you and yours.https://youtu.be/ms1m8lv7wJ4 | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? Don’t forget the great Clark Terry:https://youtu.be/HaEF6xfijL0https://youtu.be/bwZiJAFWWfwhttps://youtu.be/5wKLBLgkSBk | |
| Jazz for aficionados Doh! “The Man I Love”, of course. Love, live. Live, love 😊 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, your link doesn’t work for me. Please repost, I’d love to hear it. Just taking a guess here. “The Man I Live” is one of Gershwin’s most beautiful tunes. Is the link Herbie talking about his gorgeous record “Gershwin’s World”? If so, th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great movie, Alex and one of the few times I have enjoyed Sean Penn. Thanks for the reminder.A little history:”Sweet and Lowdown”, the tune, by the great George Gershwin, one of the most important American composers.We tend to forget what a huge i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey, speaking of bean (“Bean”). I meant to post this last night, before being “distracted” by Inna 😊. Another favorite tune from Marija’s soundtrack list. It is often said, and for good reason, that Coltrane’s “Giant Steps” was in many ways a game... | |
| Jazz for aficionados April Fool’s joke? I sincerely do hope so.....but, I don’t think so. I am hanging on to my beer, however. Kidding; just bean.......for now. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, right back at you. If the first couple of clips are unbearable 😱, do check out the last, at least. Enjoy (?):https://youtu.be/PM1cTxXy6QoOscar clearly doesn’t know what he is talking about 😊:https://youtu.be/p_kUJa1PueMhttps://youtu.be/yEu0... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, thanks for the Gilmore clip. I don’t dislike David Gilmore. Not sure what it has to do with the subject of Jazz guitar, but thanks. For me, a moderately interesting Rock singer/songwriter/guitarist. As a songwriter/singer he is no Joni Mitch... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I’ll be more blunt, the comment is absurd. Joe Pass was one of the greatest Jazz guitarists that ever lived; some would say the greatest. **** Joe Pass is alright, though he can’t really play, technically speaking. His ’voice’ lacks depth as well.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados From your list, one of my favorite tunes:https://youtu.be/AXlsjVS6AoUhttps://youtu.be/WcWbTrirHsghttps://youtu.be/MoBHTW54iU4 | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? Might explain why you “never really got into them” (your Jazz records) 😎. |
