| Jazz for aficionados Hey O - Remember posting the below (Dec 31 last year)?The very best music is that which has withstood the test of time and repeats; no matter how many times you've heard it, it still sounds good.Such music in my collection that exists, I will shar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wikipedia explained things...The Jazz Crusaders (first LP, Freedom Sounds 1961) shortened their name in ’71 to The Crusaders. Certainly seems over the years their music "dumbed down" as they achieved more commercial success (least that’s how read ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus & Acman - Wrote a lengthy reply about an hour ago. It didn’t survive. Must have messed up somehow. No desire to try and recreate the whole thing. In brief (if I can)...O- I agree with your first paragraph about Delta Blues embodying a ... | |
| Amperex 6SN7GTB Try emailing Tubemonger and/or Brent Jesse with pics. They might have some insight. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hahaha....points well made, Acman. Thanks.Zawinul and Weather Report certainly belong on that fusion with soul list. Partly, I think, because WR (early on, at least) was mostly about jazz with some "rock" seasoning. Later on, increasing amounts of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I worked quite a bit on the Gulf but never lived there (nor up in the Delta area of MS). I respect and appreciate what that first hand exposure would have given to Rok. I'll use that to segue into something I'd been thinking about relative to yo... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I did have a vague notion that Blue Mitchell had more of jazz background. I guess the line between blues and jazz can get quite blurry. Thank you for all those T-Bone Walker links. I checked them out. A couple of the songs were familiar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello Frogman. That is some VERY interesting background on SofA and Terry Lavitz. SofA as a recording did not strike me like the usual fusion fare - though it is clearly fusion. I’d be interested in reading more about your personal reasons for lik... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Neil Cowley Trio - Touch & Flee | |
| Whats playing on your system today? John Mayall - Jazz Blues Fusion (Live in Boston & New York)Stumbled on this today. Amazing...wow. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - my question about which of the two categories School of the Arts fell in for you was simply about whether you liked it or not. Sounds like you do like it. Appreciate the vote of confidence on that 100 Jazz LP list. I was surprised how many ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/pages/jazz-album-reviews/11585-the-100-jazz-albums-that-shook-the-wo...Apologies if this is a repeat/old news. Updated Sept 2016. Seemed an interesting piece, whether or not you agree with their list. |
