| Jazz for aficionados At it's deepest level "modern jazz" is the expression of complex human emotions musically. While I adhere to "Wikipedia" for the definition of many things, I jump ship when it comes to "modern jazz"; that's because it's a departure from what orig... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Why is it when I ask about new music, somebody uses something like this as an example; hear how skilled those new musicians play Mingus's "old music". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPfSD0vJi8Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6arveYAI... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I have never seen anyone who could get things as turned around as you.Me and Rok both have been saying current musicians are better educated and are truly skilled musicians; but if you give them a blank music sheet they might as well thro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, you posted Oscar Pettiford links that didn't work, maybe you could post some that work. In the meantime I'm going to post some; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5EwGijmqKc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6u8j1jnJso https:... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lester Young and Charley Parker, so nostalgic; when I hear them I think of incredibly better times; for the working man that is, the rich are doing better than ever, and that's a fact. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, heroin addicts couldn't take care of business enough to get the respect they deserved as artists; they were too smashed to play, or they needed a fix and couldn't play. They had to be able to buy the dope, but not use too much when they had ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gene Ammons was my favorite before Hank, now I like the one I'm listening to at that time the best. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here are the lyrics to "Angel Eyes". Whether it's an instrumental or vocal version, we all think of the same lyrics because the song came with words. When I listen to an instrumental version of this, it can give the words even more power.Try to ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was walking along the pier taking pictures of yachts, and accidentally took a picture of a gangster on his boat who gave me a dirty look, but I knew that was all he was going to do because even gangsters know not to act a fool on the North Side. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, I'm so glad you're back; yes Chicago, I know that city well: the North Side and Lake Shore drive overlooking the beautiful blue Lake Michigan. Many of the skyscrapers on the lake are filled with apartments, they're not office buildings ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, Most jazz musicians evolved, but Miles had major transformations; so much so that one Miles would have to be introduced to the other Miles. We were discussing the "original" Miles; music wise that is.I guess your point is that he was alway... | |
| Jazz for aficionados OK, enough already; this debate began specifically in regard to "Round Midnight"; those who want to hear the lyrics in their mind every time they hear the tune even when it’s just instrumental without them, please do so.Please, cry in your bear wi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, the subject of Miles is ancient history; "Round Midnight" is the new subject.Even Miles accepted the fact that few of the people he loved, and who loved him would like his new music, but that didn't change anything one iota in regard to him... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That is the most unforgettable picture and music I can think of; it was when Miles was "Miles", no buckskin fringed vests and stuff like that.That is the most mysterious opening music; the city is like that "Round Midnight"; maybe you're on a lit ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Once and for all, is "Round Midnight" a vocal or instrumental? Now is the time each aficionado must make his or her stand; no fence riding. |
