| Jazz for aficionados grey9hound, I don’t disagree with you. Although I may have been unclear with my wording, my post/ comment was not intended to be any kind of comparison or judgment of one being superior to the other. First, different band leaders and different mus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Merry Christmas, all!https://youtu.be/w5_w2XpG7DI | |
| Jazz for aficionados grey9hound, thanks for your links. Perhaps you already have this, but if you like that early 70’s early Fusion sound, this is the album by Herbie that most point to as his most influential from that era. Personally, I feel it is a masterpiece; i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I thought you said the VW you brought back from Germany had a record player in it? Liner notes are easier to read, but don’t read while driving 😊https://youtu.be/imBn68dcfAQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ok, Chettyphiles, it’s his birthday today! How could you not know this? 🥳Not the most inspired playing I’ve heard from Chetty (sorry); but, hey, ‘tis the Season:https://youtu.be/IGu9s01jMJkhttps://youtu.be/VtTyLJsng2k | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? As Mahgister points out, “for sure it is different for all of us”. Important to give enough relevance to the simple fact that the distinctions made often say much more about ourselves as music lovers (and possibly in other ways as well) and less a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados With a young Dexter. Nice pic.https://youtu.be/6xQyaeqh2jQ https://youtu.be/QhDVqkYRsaAhttps://youtu.be/pKVOFWXXw2I | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wow! A wealth of riches. All great. Thanks, Trentmemphis. . A little more light hearted and Season appropriate. I sent these just a few minutes ago to a clarinet player friend who has two young sons. One named Benny (of course!) and the other, An... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Everything you wrote is absolutely true, Marija and it doesn’t apply only to wooden instruments or only to instruments that are made entirely by hand. First, let’s establish that we are talking about high quality instruments since that is what mus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, yes they do all sound different. Sometimes very subtly so, but even more important to the player they all respond and feel different. A very personal choice. Some players like a little more resistance, a little “fight” in the response when t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Right you are, Marija. Two weeks really are an eternity here.clhs04, I wondered how it tasted to him? 😊. It was back in HS, that Billy Cobham record was the second “Jazz” record that I ever purchased as a result of hearing the first “Jazz” record ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gotta love YouTube. Fabulous Oscar Peterson clips! Incredible piano player. That “C Jam Blues” is astounding and one of the best things I’ve seen on Youtube. Thanks, Keegiam.One of the best ever comments posted by a YouTuber about a clip:”100 buck... | |
| Does a taste for high end audio, also carry over into your other interests? Noromance, my favorite; a variation of yours:Lightly toasted multi grain bread (“Bread Alone” multi grain health), fresh peanut butter (not too smooth of course and lightly salted), a bit of creamed honey and......dried cranberries. Check it out.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dexter Gordon:Fabulous player and great record! Coincidentally, I posted two or three cuts off that record just a couple of weeks ago.Toss up between he and Wayne Shorter as probably my two favorite tenor players; and if it weren’t due to the fac... | |
| What if any, is the difference between a band or a group? Yeah, the two designations are probably more interchangeable than not. However (!), in spite of the use of the term “group” by even professional ensembles (hah!), I think that “band” tends to carry a little more weight as far as expectations of ex... |
