| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, I really liked that "Art Pepper Unrealeased". All of those musicians sounded like they should have been famous, but the only one I knew was Art.I was in LA club hopping about the time this was recorded, and I heard a lot of artists who sound... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, that was different, and I liked the title.The last time I was in Chicago, I stayed at the Holiday Inn on North Shore Drive, where Ahmad was appearing; he was fantastic as usual. I didn't even go to the Southside, didn't feel like crying.No... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, it's funny you should mention that LP by "The Messengers"; it's playing right now and I hear Bobby Timmons, Lee Morgan, Bennie Golson, and Jymie Merrit a lot more than I hear Blakey; you tell me what you hear. https://www.youtube.com/wa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados BTW, I have music from the computer in the basement coming to the bedroom, so if I don't know who's playing, I have to get out of bed and go check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrWs0lSZvBQThis impressed me enough to get up to verify my sus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hit the jackpot the very first try; Julius Watkins, and Gunther Schuller; horn. This is on Miles "Porgy and Bess".I don't have anything with Julius Watkins as leader, but I have him on every jazz album that wants a horn. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I have asked you time and time again for some new jazz, and what you have presented doesn't qualify to my ears, and they make the final decision.The reason for this poll thing is to find something new, and as close as I can come is Charen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ahmad Jamal now makes his home in Marseille; speaking of live music, my budget will not allow me to fly to France.(when are the French going to learn how to spell; that's pronounced "Marsay".)Anyway, he's made a bundle off "Poinciana". h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you're right about good inexpensive sound quality; remember when you got all those best jazz CD's, and I told you they were better than my original records; that speaks for the digital vs analog.And you're right; I'm sure we haven't heard all... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I found something in "Vocals" on the jazz critics page; Charenee Wade, Offering: The Music of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson.Acman pointed me in that direction and I like it a lot; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMGME3Bvy9YGil Scott was an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, the reason I keep going back to the 2015 jazz poll is because I'm trying to refute my own thesis that good jazz is no longer being created. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, the next best thing to something new. | |
