| Jazz for aficionados Trentmemphis, checked out Freddy Cole @ JALC. Very nice! Unique stylist and very good band. Thanks for the tip.I’m intrigued by your comment re what people say about the Delta. Would like your thoughts. A good friend is a busy musician in Nas... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No words, no blues?!!! Really? Think about it.......”aficionados”. How many times have we heard (read):**** no Blues, no Jazz ****So........ it’s the feeling. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nah! It’s the usual pointless attempt at narrowing classifications of genres. Waste of time. Music (art) is not like that; it’s all much more fluid than that.https://youtu.be/VBvxNhaEvHE(Michael Brecker, you are missed) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not sure I understand your question. With Elmore James, it’s obvious. Just listen to his words. With Pops, that’s the beauty of this music, no? It’s a feeling; and depending on OUR individual feeling when listening, it tells each of us a unique st... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Muddy Waters was a Blues artist. Muddy Waters played the Blues:https://youtu.be/cXTCA2jJRXENo vocals.(I’m pretty sure I heard all sorts of stories in there)It’s the feeling. | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** You can’t say this on a saxophone: "Got up this morning, got me a jug, and laid back down."***Definitely up for debate 🤔Not a chicken, but maybe close enough:https://youtu.be/H3sDygsxvSghttps://youtu.be/eAa2FAyyF8w | |

| “Classic” phono stages 2007-20013? If you do give it a shot (it is definitely worth doing so) and if by chance you plan on using only MM carts, you can consider the less expensive MM only/no MC version. To me, the EAR 834P has an inherently superior sound without the MC transforme... | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? Jaulbrich, ***so many young guys have come out NEC and Berkley where they learned to meld classical music with jazz. Yuck! Combining the two is an art form, but it is not jazz or classical. ***What do base this on? Meld classical with jazz? Wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fabulous! “Let’s Fall in Love” is a gem. Sleeper contribution: Louie Bellson. Check out his brush work. Amazing. Talk about deserving more attention! Peterson is his usual brilliant self. My one complaint about the record is that I feel that the p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Coincidentally, Kenny Drew has been posted a fair amount recently. And about time! Alex is correct, not enough Kenny Drew. Wonderful player.Don Cunningham is an entirely different kind of player and deserving of a different kind of consideration... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, because 1. the piano is the most important and most versatile in the context of a Jazz ensemble. It is the harmony instrument (guitar could be as well) and can also function as a rhythm instrument. 2. the bass acts as a timekeeper and, in... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Excellent! Thanks. Great rhythm section. |
