| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister "Calm Revolutionaries." A very apt phrase you just coined. Well done. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Thanks, I'm looking forward to curling up with the "Footprints" book this winter (while finally getting more time to listen). Also, an honorable mention to Kenny Wheeler, who I believe got even less notoriety than the great Kenny Dorham... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The mere mention of Wayne Shorter often launches me on hours-long journeys that are both nostalgic and exploratory. Back in the day, he marked my second level of immersion (after the initial Miles/Coltrane fascination that seems so common). Shor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Fabulous Ray Charles clips. He was much more than a generational genius - he heard, understood, and shared with us an entire century of America's unique and treasured musical heritage. We can hear it all when he plays and sings. Just c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @schubert Thank you so much for that beautiful Nicolo Pellegrino piece. 10 years old and playing oboe with such reverence for the music - not to mention his musicianship. Very refreshing and downright inspiring. BTW, he didn't need sheet music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Two months ago: The Ron Carter Quartet at Keystone Korner, 5 miles from me. A rare opportunity that I had to miss.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6vubhhb9mk | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Those "Hand Jive" tracks are amazing. Just ordered it. Tone meister indeed - love the growl Scofield gets on this one, seemingly regardless of where he goes on the fret board.Live with Lovano, who must have been stoked by the way Scofie... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 <<According to Keegiam, Freddie "whoever's" solo is too strident.>>No, I said it's TOO STRIDENT FOR ME, and explained that it could be my hyperacusis. FOR ME = MY opinion in MY world, not some kind of official proclamation ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, nice. Full version (13:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGtp-1SfYgkTrailer says issue date is 11/5/21. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Given my brain fart, from now on I will refer to these two trumpet greats by their full names: Lee Hubbard and Freddie Morgan...er.... wait... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 That "Moanin'" video is priceless history. Well done! Freddie's solo is too strident for me, but then again my hyperacusis may be to blame.1964 Monk - Paris "bootleg"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al697st1oeU | |
| Jazz for aficionados We never know what will turn up on the web, like this Esperanza Spalding:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50YFhxL6efs | |
| Jazz for aficionados Long drive today, but it led to a couple reminders from the masters:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPr3yvkHYsEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUC8NuiuXcs | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 and @orpheus10 +1 on the social commentary, and for "Inner City Blues"Sam Cooke "A Change is Gonna Come" (1963) - weren't we all hopeful it would? It's not looking so good these days.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPr3yvkHYsE | |
| Jazz for aficionados The lack of historical and sociological perspective on display here from time to time is disconcerting. Rok, in particular, as I've said before, just doesn't get it.Boxing? Really?Keep the music coming, folks. It's part of America's soul - the ... |
