| Jazz for aficionados Acman, psychedelics were unpredictable and very scary. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, some people lost their minds using LSD; there were so many different kinds that a person never knew what kind of trip he was going to go on. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, this is the first time I heard that Milt Jackson/ Ray Brown record, I hope I can get it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, that record of Ray Charles and Milt Jackson is the ultimate jazz soul record. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Out of all the jazz vocalists, Eddie Jefferson is most certainly recognized as the "hippest" if not the best.That is some kind of fantastic recording you linked Acman; is it something special. My Eddie Jefferson recordings are old and noisy. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Out of the many and varied aspects and descriptions of modern jazz, "soul" is the one that I admire most. Jazz without soul can be boss, and I can like that as well; however, it's jazz that projects an emotional component called "soul" that I lik... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've read many books that spoke of Charlie Parker's genius, and various statements attributed to him, but never in any book has he stated that somehow heroin enabled him to be a better musician, or that it helped him in any way form or fashion. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Using heroin for a jazz genius is the same as using heroin for a street corner "junky"; it gets him high and allows him to escape reality; no more, no less, and contributes "zit" to his ability to play his instrument, or anything else musical.No w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, Gary Bartz is a gifted musician, and I'm glad he's still around; none of the musicians I knew with his problem are still around; they all worked for "Blue Note", and from my point of view their finances weren't as great as they should have be... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you never spoke truer words, and you must have read my mind when you spoke them.I sense that the censor is a one trick pony, and if the post does not apply to his trick, or go along with his way of thinking, he deletes it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados In order to understand modern jazz, it's essential to understand the people who created it. Jazz changed dramatically after Charles "Yardbird" Parker, even the "swing" musicians changed; they fell under "Birds" magic spell. You can hear how diff... |
