| Jazz for aficionados When I was in the Air Force, in 1960, my room mate brought KOB for us to share for the first time. I liked it, and he thought it was spectacular; he was the first of the KOB breed.It's been a long time since 1960, and so many boss LP's have gone ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm hearing more albums better than KOB by accident; here is a candidate; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrqb0373cVs | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not the best albums ever, but one of the best cuts ever; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbaGDDbpcQ4 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, there are more jazz LP's better than KOB than you can shake a stick at; you let them pick theirs and you pick yours. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, thanks for alerting me to that LP, which is how I'll get it; the soul of the horn and the musician is best on vinyl, but CD is good too.Those artists have jelled so well together that each one of them is a star, although Dexter Gordon and Don... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sometime when I hear Grant Green, I almost break out in tears. I knew Grant Green, I can't say I was a friend, but his best friend and fellow musician was a close friend of mine.Some of the reasons I break out in tears are too personal to reveal, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The best sax solo ever, is the one by "Joe Henderson" on Grant Green's "Idle Moments".The cut "Idle Moments" was supposed to have been only 7 minutes long, but when Joe Henderson got in his groove, and it was apparent the cut was going to go over,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados New York Jazz could have been titled "Stitts Best Bop"; that album featured "Bop" almost as good as the man who brought the "Bop" game to town, Charles "Yardbird" Parker.My collection is loaded with Stitt contributions, and I enjoyed the one's Fro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dee Dee is so creative; here she is Paris France with an African twist;I love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfzn0bSObFk | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, like you pointed out Chuck Mangione, there is another artist that had his time in the Sun at about that same time, and that's Eumir Deodato. I have a number of his cuts on my "play list". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRPzvgugShI&... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, one of the strangest experiences I've ever had is related to Vietnam.This was at a New Years Eve party, 68 or 69, and a fellow sitting across from me struck up a conversation. He was about 24, well dressed, soft spoken, good looking, ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that's "real jazz", not imitation jazz. Imitation jazz is when some dude who's been to "julee yard" hears real jazz and says "I can play that". Sure enough, he can play it. and to the uninitiated, it sounds like the real thing. But just li... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I had a good friend who was also a professional musician who had that problem; consequently I saw the problem up close and personal, something no one ever wants to see.There are many misconceptions about drugs and jazz musicians; number one i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, what never fails to lead to what? I believe Schubert can speak for himself.I do understand why you detest any subject other than music; it's because that's the only subject you seem to be cognizant of. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, since this thread began, we have talked about everything under the sun. The way this works is that you simply ignore what you don't like and it will go away; however, it will stick around as long as you comment on it.Quite often the "Deleter... |
