| 1 song you never get sick of? @hifiguy42 Thanks for checking in re: "Tighten Up." Doesn't matter how many years go by - it's always cool to know someone shares the joy of a great piece of music. Btw, good reminder to go back and read the whole thread! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Monk and Rouse live on radio 1964. Yikes. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Re: Shirley Scott. In your dreams DeFrancesco! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Fabulous find Mr. Frog. Miles was already Miles - flubbing some notes but supreme cool and timing. Great arrangements! Here too: | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chet - the first 3 minutes are sublime. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Herbie Hancock was the pianist in the best jazz combo ever assembled. Enjoy your journey! The members here have introduced me to some of the greats in the same way. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I would have liked to spend more time here the last few months, but c'est la vie. I wish you all peace, good health and happiness in 2022. From one who left us this year: | |
| Jazz for aficionados @schubert and @frogman Nice philosophical exchange on the meaning of music, thanks. Schubert - my POV is that frogman doesn't "see" the music, he hears it and feels it.If music is "seeable" for you, you may be stuck in the European sheet music co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another great Art Farmer concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODZA7WSA3xkGotta wonder why the flugelhorn didn't figure more prominently in the jazz world, as did the tenor sax among the woodwinds. Richer, deeper tone - sexier than the trumpet... | |

| Jazz for aficionados 2nd trumpet, but we only had 1-2-3. Eventually migrated to baritone and a little French horn, the latter being a b**** to play cleanly.Funny that so many of us began with trumpet - I can't recall this coming up before on JFA! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Did someone mention Freddie?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VN8zH366M8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @rok2id "Since I Fell for You" and "Ruby, my Dear" just made me melt. Well done, thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @isochronism Glad you liked the Kenny Wheeler. My understanding is that JFA regular Mahgister is also a KW aficionado. Enjoy your exploration! |
