| Jazz for aficionados "Music soothes the savage beast"; music also soothes me 24 hours a day; my computer "play list" is piping out music in my bedroom even when I'm sleep. This morning I awoke to Mr. Dave Brubeck, "Calcutta Blues", from his album "Jazz Impressions of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Every since Black slaves took over Haiti, the US has been involved to the detriment of those people. That fact is very well documented.My concern is right here, I do not wish to debate Haiti. "The opportunities are there you just have to go get t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Between 1911 and 1915, Haiti was politically unstable"In February 1915, Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam, son of a former Haitian president, established a dictatorship. Five months later, facing a new anti-American revolt, he ordered the massacre of 16... | |

| Jazz for aficionados However in the long run I think it was not so good. If France was still running Haiti it would not be the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Over 50% of the population have no access to clean drinking water.In the long run it was not so goo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I was patiently going along with Frogman, until he got to this last explanation. I need you to respond to this one. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, I'm glad you're back recounting some of your happier experiences.I visited Cap Haitien when I was in my early 30's. We rode what are called "half asses" up the mountain to the Citadel at the top. What impressed me more than anything was the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Cuban slaves brought African rhythms that are still present. Brazilian slaves brought some very unique African rhythms, but American slaves lost the African rhythms, and brought the blues. Can you explain that? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just another instance of Gunther talking smack; Chico is far too creative to be put in some mundane category. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you posted that Pryso, I wanted to see it again, thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, as you already know, there's nothing new about "Analog"; it's just "high end" analog they're referring to, and somehow all analog is supposed to sounds like that, when we know that "low end" analog's not as good as that Marantz CD player.Glad... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, the blues and modern jazz are not one and the same if you are implying that African connection thing. Modern jazz has 0 connection to Africa. The Blues connection could very well be coincident. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, another reason you may not have a lot of Chico is because he was hardly ever "mainstream jazz", he was "off center"; that's what I liked about him, his music was a change of pace from the rest of my collection.The records I have are not on "y... | |

| Jazz for aficionados If you're through with the rant, why don't you listen and make a comment on Chico Hamilton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30lXxeCvr0IThere's another one before this one that you didn't comment on. |
