| Jazz for aficionados Jo Stafford; I get a warm feeling thinking about hearing her on the radio. The further back I retrogress the better I feel. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I told you these were the worst of times, and you told me these are the best of times for music because of "You tube".You were right, and I've got a secret to tell you, but you must promise not to tell any other "jazz aficionado"; I know you ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I look at my record collection and all the money I wasted trying to find something new. The funny thing is, the rich record store owner gave me advice every time I walked into his store, and he made his fortune selling jazz records. He ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If Thelonious Sphere Monk had wanted lyrics, he would have written lyrics. He plays his composition "radically" different every time he plays it; if he had any lyrics in mind while he was playing his composition, he wouldn't do that.People want l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, reality is what "is", not what "ain't", and no one speaks for reality, it speaks for itself. As a matter of fact our posts on this thread have been speaking "reality"; they have been saying "what is", not "what ain't"; they have been say... | |

| Jazz for aficionados BTW This song was originally recorded in 1947 on Savoy 78 rpm records, and was featured on a 1956 jazz compilation LP record titled "Jazz Of Two Decades"; it's the most special version of "East of Suez". I played it so much that every syllable is... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In regard to "Round Midnight" it's an instrumental mood piece that paints a picture of the city "Round Midnight"; which can be inviting, mysterious, or even dangerous, but never a time to think about "unrequited love". That's because in my scenar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, first and foremost, I never cared too much for vocals. Of course I have many CD's by Ella, Sarah, Dinah, Billie, and Nancy. I just checked them, and only Ella has "Round Midnight".Ray Bryant's version was fantastic; had I heard it befor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, when I listened to Ray Bryant, I could hear those "dippy" lyrics; hopefully I wont be haunted by them for the rest of my life.His beautiful piano work was ruined. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, as usual, I'll look forward to your Christmas recommendations.I just received Jacintha; although she's not as jazzy as many of the vocalists we like, she has a warm soothing voice that's ideal for late night listening, and the recording qual... | |
