| Jazz for aficionados frogman,I gotta tell you I like you even more. There was a time in my life that if it wasn’t Frank Zappa, it didn’t sound normal. That time lasted 2-3 years from about 1971-73 or so. I had every recording, knew the lyrics, understood the humor and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman,You mistakenly posted the link to the "Where were you?"I suspect you meant to post this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylBFW9B6EJgI was planning to use it for the "2nd break."Here's a rehearsal story for you:I was hired to play a gig for ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I hope you all don't mind, but here is a short break from the regular discussion.Any musician knows you have to rehearse if you're serious about the gig(s) coming up. You need to know the tunes, tempo, time signature, changes in structure, etc. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman,Really liked your post re: Nat Adderly. Thank you. One of my favorite tunes with both Nat and his brother Cannonball playing together. If it's been posted here already I missed it. Equal parts traditional jazz and fusion, a cup of blue... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman3,I know you've probably heard this before, but here's another tune featuring the bass laying down the foundation of the tune. Not good quality, but listenable.-- BobOscar Peterson Trio, "Nigerian Marketplace."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman,Shirley Horn with Strings. Estate. I remember the first time I ever heard the song it was being performed by Kristin Korb at a part time jazz club I used to own. I was knocked out. I've rarely heard a song that hit me so hard. After th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados alesatops,Damn... Bill Harris, It Might as Well Be Spring...... Damn. He, (and his friends) are just so damn good. This is a superb example of a ballad grooving very hard. Thank you for posting. I’ve never heard the Oscar Peterson version of Mac t... | |

| Jazz for aficionados You guys sent me on a weekend binge with your recommendations for some fat Afro Cuban Jazz. I had a terrific weekend. Last night my wife and I wedged ourselves into the "sweet spot," held hands and listened to Stan Getz, (one of my top 5 ballad ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman:You said, " I also find it curious that when even our most revered jazz artists proclaim that "there are only two kinds of music...good music and bad"I laughed out loud when I read that! I watched a short documentary on Branford Marsali... | |
| Jazz for aficionados On the Lyle Mays record:I've had a copy of this for many years and for a two or three month period, the Alaskan Suite was my go to music. Whether or not it's jazz is a good question. When I bought my copy it was in the jazz section where it prob... | |
| Another "Which DAC?" thread. Thank you all for your input.gdnrbob; You said, " Try a $1500 dac with a return privilege and try it in your system. You'll either hear it or you won't."You hit the proverbial nail precisely on the head. I am hoping I *will* hear a difference a... | |
