| Jazz for aficionados If you really want to go to the African bush, you travel with Art Blakey. He even opens up with an African prayer, plus that he's got a real chief jammin with him by the name of "Chief Bey". This jam is as African as elephant horns, now you know... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The first one sounded like St. Louis, the second one sounded like Harlem, and the last one sounded like "Narleans". What kind of prize do I win? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, while it's true that modern jazz has "0" connection to African music, the people who are primarily the creators of "modern jazz", are descendants of slaves who were forcefully taken from Africa; hence, they're curious about the "homeland".I f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary_Jo, I realize you are one Aficionado that I have neglected; I have an offering for you, I hope that you like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4A2ieV-5g4&list=PLBIiojdRsFPCa3fBiEbxRkPpUtaZYRzJ8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks to you Rok, I'm going to give Randy Weston the attention he deserves.Randy weaves jazz and African rhythms into such a complex fashion that jazz becomes one with the music of Africa; it becomes "Jafrican". Well anyway you get my drift.Afte... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In order to build a house, you must first get an architect. JFK was the architect for LBJ’s actions. All the men you mentioned were great men. Today, we have corrupt "Flim flam men" . | |
| Jazz for aficionados Randy Weston's music is both emotional and intellectual; it's apparent he has studied not just the music but the ancient history of "The dark continent" as some writers like to call it.For me, Africa is best viewed at the museum, that's where you ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's for certain "Randy Weston" is one pianist I have not explored enough.The camels were very unruly on that "Caravan", but after they got going, it was one of the best Caravans; with a decidedly African character as a caravan crossing the mighty... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, I know exactly what you mean about that energy of a dead fly; that's the price we pay for living too long, I got it to. But you're doing better than you were, meaning it's apparent that you have improved in other ways.I have "mysterious... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, do you have a big Thanksgiving planned?This is the first Thanksgiving since God knows when, that the celebration will not be at our home. That's an incredible amount of work, and I'm not up to it this year. https://www.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, that's my favorite version of "Round Midnight". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Out of "all" the jazz musicians I can think of, I feel the closest to Grant Green's music. While I talked with him, and walked with him, my kinship with his music goes beyond that. Maybe we had similar life experiences in St. Louis?No record exemp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The first thing that goes is the memory, so please tell me when I'm repeating myself.John Handy "If Only We Knew"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJhp43v-yd8&t=600sBryan Savage, "Rush Hour"; https://www.youtube.com/watch... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, there is nothing more comical than a "White Supremacist"; first of all he can't count, but that's just one of his shortcomings, can't read either.Black people make up 10% of this country; a poverty stricken 10% at that. If 90% took every ni... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Cannonball "Worksong" Tokyo with all the frills "What message"? it's just music to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q88M5gwgGPICannonball "Worksong" for us; Aficionados on the street beat who comprehend the depth of the message; it's... |
