| Jazz for aficionados Glad you like Gismonti, O. He is a remarkable talent. Classically trained and a true "world music" composer. I do have Sol Do Meio Dia and a few others by him including Folk Songs which is the 2nd by this same Haden, Garbarek, Gismonti trio as... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Just like a tuner, your mind has to be on the right frequency in order to receive the music."O- I get your point very well. It certainly applies to the music at the link here. Another Haden collaboration. Not sure it will be your "cuppa" but, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The sonics on that Haden/Hall recording are really good...especially for something that is from a live performance. | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - you sure don’t owe me any justification for your music preferences. I’ve been reading this thread long enough to know YOU KNOW (and that goes for some of the other regulars here too). Yeah, maybe there’s a preference for the traditional here..... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello, O - Was Frogman provided the Toots links, not me. Do appreciate your comments about JC and music for the angels. You are making my point with the caveat that some day some of us might well be able to understand "music meant for the angels".... | |
| Exotic vocal - Male Check out the story (and singing) of Little Jimmy Scott. | |
| Recently re-discovered or newly discovered music in your current "heavy rotation" New and newish discoveries...Thanks to Pokey77 for recommending to me, Aaron Parks' "Invisible Cinema" (2008).My own stumbling around led me to Alan Pasqua's "The Antisocial Club" (2007). | |
| Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. Try to get a listen to or audition a pair of Silverline Prelude Pluses. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "...it is more honest and fair to the artist in question, and productive for the growth of our own musical awareness, to keep the door just slightly open to the possibility that it is we who don't understand the message; not that the message is no... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello Gents. I thought Frogman had a good suggestion with respect to the "drama" issue....find examples of the same tune, with and without it.AND I’m not trying to be a provocateur on that point whatsoever. I think Orpheus brought up a meaningful ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - thanks for the links. Seems like we are coming at "drama" with different expectations. I listened to the Sonny Clark. The playing is great - John C. just can't help himself being Coltrane ! can he?? :-) and there is something about trombon... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - I think what you hear from The Antisocial Club makes sense given Pasqua's time with Tony Williams and TW's time with Miles before that. Continuity, sort of. I'll make a prelim guess and then try to confirm in the next couple of days but it w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - Did you get all the way through Invisible Cinema? I'm thinking there's plenty of drama all through it starting with Track 3. Check out Track 6 "Karma", for example. More elsewhere too if by "drama" you mean a sort of tension that builds thr... | |
| RVG RIP http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/26/arts/music/rudy-van-gelder-audio-engineer-who-helped-define-sound-of-jazz-on-record-dies-at-91.html?_r=0 Thanks for posting the news, Bianchi. I had not heard. Here's a link to the NY Times piece on him. I don'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If you do the slow and tedious copy and paste of the you tube link into a new browser window does that work? or not even then?? I use a Mac Air and didn’t open Frogman’s Abbey Lincoln stuff. The Alan Pasqua link Rok re-sent works fine for me righ... |
