| Blues for Aficionados Yikes, it's great to see you all sharing Jr. Kimbrough. Asie Payton anyone? Cedell Davis? Robert Belfour? RL Burnside?These guys aren't going to be mentioned in "Jazz for Aficionados," so thanks Rok for creating BFA. I'll be back.https://www.... | |
| Blues for Aficionados I had precious few lines that ever worked, but that's life. They're just ice-breakers - that's when we really had to step up. It's fun to look back on it all. | |
| Power Wedge 114 - Voltage Spike Damage Yep I'm ancient and I'm giving out too. What do I replace it with? Recommendations are welcomed. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Kenny Wheeler - one of the best ever. I have no idea if he lamented the lack of notoriety, but I hope it never bothered him. I strongly doubt it did, as it should be. Hats off Kenny, well done. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Late 70s. Hank Levy (with Stan Kenton's help) had those college kids playing way beyond their years. Quite an accomplishment.Once every summer, a sweet outdoor concert with a hot big band. Life was good. Glad you like it! | |
| Power Wedge 114 - Voltage Spike Damage Thanks, I guess it's now an unsafe Power Wedge 112. ;) I'll start investigating other options ASAP. The 114 saved the expensive stuff. That's why we use these things. | |
| Blues for Aficionados I wish I could had even conceived of women-snaring lines like those in Ollie's "I'll Drink Your Bathwater Baby" in my youth. Then again, I would have been to shy to use 'em.Great stuff - thanks rok. | |

| Jazz for aficionados All - the confusion over "Glass Bead Games" was my fault. I was addressing Acman3's link to that specific track, but there was no way for any of you to see that. So, I was talking about the title track without getting the overall context. Life ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister <<I discovered lately in life that music is the musician first....Not a piece of paper.... >>Well put. As amazing as those (European-style) pieces of paper may be, it's improvisational music that best gets through to our ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lee Konitz was on fire in "Motion." It sounds like he didn't need a rhythm section that day. He was going where he was going, damn the torpedoes. Yikes. Great stuff, thanks frogman. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman @acman3 Great explanation of what "poor Cedar Walton" was doing and why. I tend to zero in on the message I'm hearing from the musician's soul, so the compositional challenges they face escape me. Thanks!Pianos aren't saxes, and vice ve... |
