| Jazz for aficionados It’s true, it’s true! I didn’t believe it the first time I read it, but it IS possible to hear all the way in NY, the sound of a head exploding in Texas 😱Well done Trentmenphis! Nice clip and nice analysis.Rok, please, lighten up. Re “the other th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Where is the BRAZILIAN part? ****Are you serious? I can’t believe I have to point this out to the truest of true Aficionados. Not! Well, for starters it’s a classic bossa nova rhythm. You know, bossa nova... Brazil. Geez!100% accurate? Yeah, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I suspect Brazil popular music NOW, is Western style (nuts and bolts) pop music sung in Portuguese. ****You’ve got it completely backwards. Brazilian record producers did not go looking for Stan Getz to record Girl From Ipanema. Other way aro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Does not sound Brazilian to me. ****Probably because you stopped listening with Sergio Mendez and Brazil 66. Defining Brazilian music by the Mendez formula is like saying that if it doesn’t sound like the Beatles it doesn’t sound American. Me... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Listen to the cuts above; fuss enough. Yauarete is very good as they all are, but more to the Brazil side of things as compared to the clips above with Hancock. More to the “native” side. | |
| Jazz for aficionados It’s curious to me how with all the discussion and even arguing about the music of Brazil, we barely even looked at......the music of Brazil; certainly not the more recent stuff. For me, the “Pop” music of Brazil has always been the most interesti... | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? **** Passion is not always humble»- anonymus ****I like that. Very true; especially that of the artist. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Quote(s):Just one, oh truest of true Aficionados. Adams on For Harry Carney.Actually, pg.2 in the handbook. Requirement No.17: “Must be able to identify musical quotes”.(there’s a hint in there somewhere) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I do indeed. The greatest! Awesome pic. Thanks.Schubert, left handed AND upside down. Her way without a doubt. Wonderful feeling in her playing,Loved the Webster/Peterson, Keegiam. Thanks.Rok, I’m embarrassed to say that I had never heard th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very nice exchange of ideas and clips of the different versions of the beautiful tune “The Autumn Leaves”. Thanks to all for your thoughts and contributions. Great versions of the tune. As points of interest which may put the song in a more comple... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10 (and Alex?), IMO we jump around too much and focus gets lost. If I may, why not first stay on the subject of “Autumn Leaves” as a way to make the point, since some points have already been made about specific performances of it? I posted Bar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yenne Lee:Lovely tone with a beautiful fragility to it. Not unlike her appearance. But, since we are critiquing:She doesn’t take enough time between phrases. Sounds a bit rushed with little shape to the melody. There is a sense of caution and same... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, interesting comments re guitar players. Burrell, Green and Montgomery, all great players. I find Montgomery’s time feel and phrasing a perfect compliment to Kelly’s. You have always seemed very tone conscious; a good thing, so I can understa... | |
| Top linear trackers I’m not about to claim that all linear trackers are better than any and all pivoting arms. That would be silly. What I can say is that compared to the well set up pivoting arms that I have used over the years, Sumiko MMT, Grado, Sumiko MDC800, A... |
