| Jazz for aficionados When you compare that music he played in 68, with this music, which most of the audience expected, maybe you can comprehend where I'm coming from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXSjJBKPyFg | |
| Jazz for aficionados There is no way I can convey to anyone, my shock in 68, when Miles came on stage looking like a hippy in his fringed buck skin vest, and playing this music; that seems so normal now; but at that time, there was total silence in the auditorium, and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "So What"; I betcha they can't play it backwards? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ella sounds better than ever on that album, I'll have to get it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, the comment I'm about to make is not about this artists music, (the music is good) but watch her exaggerated movements; this is what jazz is in general over there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIYIAuwzsGQNotice how this tune star... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, they were doing what they always did when in Japan; they played to the audience. If you listen to any jazz album you can find that was recorded live in Japan you will hear "showboating"; that's because the Japanese liked that kind of play... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It was sometime ago that I was told by a professional jazz musician who had tickets to Japan, that they couldn't make it without Japan; that may still be true.BTW, that musician now resides in France. | |
| Jazz for aficionados There's always a "showman ship" stereotypical jazz quality to the music when the artist is in Japan; it's not about the music, but pleasing the Japanese audience; "So What" played too fast ain't cool. | |

| Jazz for aficionados "It was the best of times and it was the worst of times". It was the best of times for us, four guys in their twenties roaming the exciting streets and neighborhoods of Chicago in the Summer of 68. https://www.google.com/search?q=chicago+in+196... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is further expansion on the concert in 1968 where Miles, Herbie Mann, and Nina Simone were on the same bill. While we might be Miles fans, Nina Simone was the star that day, and she got the biggest reception.This was in the Summer of 68. Dr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here is some of Herbie Mann's music in 1968 that I like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX1QJZshrLw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPqUOy8i5ZYThis was before 68, it was in 67; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMrDu4mxDKM | |
| Jazz for aficionados I would like to make a correction to my recent recollection; it was in the Summer of 68, not 69. That meant this was the kind of music that appears on "Bitches Brew" before that album had even been recorded. This gave the music an even more WTF ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, beside being a true collectors item musically, that album is also historically important; it's probably the only album in existence with all those jazz stars on a single album, and in fine form.You get the aficionado award for good taste. |
