| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, he was much younger than on that clip you posted; a little heavy but not fat, he wasn't performing where I saw him, he just stopped at his friends watering hole to party. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, we're both stuck in the past; they're on my playlist. | |
| Jazz for aficionados No Frogman and Pryso, this was not toward the end of his life, and someone was paying him and his band very well to hit the high note at that time, which is why he was in St.Louis. I just don't remember who. Under the conditions I saw him, he mi... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Without a doubt, Blue Note had more top jazz artists than any other label. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you are a full fledged "jazz aficionado"; the music you selected made that determination. There is the "young Sheila"; the "middle aged Sheila", and there is the "old Sheila"; you selected the one we now like the most. Did you hear those dy... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Have we appreciated Sheila Jordon? There's a story worth telling; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r8XF9YkyeM | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is my favorite version of "Moonlight in Vermont"; that includes the album cover.To be honest, I don't know whether it's the music, or the memory attached to the music; whatever, I get a warm feeling whenever I hear this, but it's not vocal.Be... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There's a thread by Erik Squires, titled "Current Woman in jazz" that I'm trying to learn something from, but I'm so "Old School" that I have nothing to contribute."The Sound Of Red" by Rene Marie has been mentioned on this thread; I think I bough... | |
