| Jazz for aficionados I have only been a "lurker" here for a long time now, for various reasons. I have to say now, though, that Frogman's post at 12:09 on 3/22 is spot on. Spoken not only as a musician, but as a true lover of music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have been catching up this evening on what has been happening in this thread in the last few weeks. One of Rok's recent comments struck me as very strange: "One of the problems with this thread is that, too many posts are directed at, and poste... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Many actors actually do create stories for their characters - they are called "back stories." They give the character a history that helps them present the character as more real and believable. "Method" actors in particular utilize this techniq... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, that was a great post. Tone is debatably the biggest consideration for all professional musicians, at least those that play acoustic instruments. Classical musicians in particular have to be able to play with extremely wide variations of t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados FWIW - I won't even address this post to O-10, since he does not want to be educated. However, Frogman's modesty is showing here, and I will say what he will not. There is absolutely no way that O-10 has heard even half of the jazz that Frogman ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10 - I have heard Sidewinder; I bought it on LP for my trumpet playing (not professionally) brother once, though I don't have my own copy. I have not heard Search For The New Land. Lee Morgan is one of his favorites, too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Rok - Frogman is correct. Most Beethoven symphonies are scored for only two horns. The exceptions are #3, which is scored for three, and #9, which is scored for four. Sometimes you will see more than two players, though. In these cases, som... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lee Morgan is a player I would be very interested in discussing and learning more about. I only have a few of the albums he is on, and I don't think I have any that he is the leader on. I would love to hear what everyone's favorite albums of his... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10 - as Frogman and jzzmusician pointed out, your post in response to mine was quite wrong. There is nothing you mentioned about improvisation that a classical musician cannot do, even if we assume that we are only discussing the style of im... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10 - first, I want to say that I do feel bad at how acerbic my post last night was. I have been very ill with a strange stomach bug, and it was bothering me, and while that is not an excuse, it is a reason the bile came out in my post. I ap... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10: RE Your post of 5/7 2:08pm about Coltrane not needing to practice. Here we go again. You have repeatedly had two professional musicians on this thread tell you how incorrect your "theory" is. I seem to remember a couple of other folks... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi guys - first, to answer a question Rok posed: "If the LP is not released, how does the artist get paid or make money?" Answer: the artists are paid for their work in the recording sessions themselves - in fact, this is the biggest single pay... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10 - as Frogman has tried a couple of times to explain to you, it is not the tune itself that sounds like elevator music. It is the cheesy string arrangement backing up the piano in that particular Previn recording that sounds like elevator.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10 - I went back and found the Andre Previn jazz piano clip you say your "controversy" is about. "Elevator music" is a pretty good description, actually. For me, the best that can be said of it is that it is very light entertainment, and wh... |
