Rok, that is one of the best jazz albums ever recorded, and I recommend that any aficionado who doesn't have it, get it.

Pjw, thanks for the compliments, I intend to be around for awhile; especially when there are aficionados like you who make excellent posts and communicate well.Now I'm going to pipe Herbie Hancock to the big rig and listen.

Rok, it's funny that you should ask questions that have crossed my mind. I never cared for the song until I heard Lorez sing it; she adds a lot of sexy innuendo.Picture this "stone fox" looking out the window at knee deep snow, so she fly's south...

Glad you told me about that "Rising Sun" thing.Dee Dee's live albums are so much different from her studio albums, I can see why you prefer them.Neither one of us are currently into the best known Diva's; I'm into Lorez Alexandria, I've got three ...

Dee Dee's Feathers is on order;           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjGWENSUCakI get two in one; I like both.

Dee Dee's got style; as I have gathered from your posts. When I hear her on my playlist it's almost like hearing a different artist; she's less stylish.It's not that I don't like her more stylish recordings, I just don't have them; which is somet...

I was looking for a Carmen CD, and only found LP's; I don't know the significance of that.          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYRrcCjLiGA&list=PLvxWibFr0wiJPqeBD_Jo3OrX4gXyMfxMOI have all the LP's on my play-list so they pose no problem...

Rok, as much as I like Carmen, that's my least favorite by her. While I liked the music, I don't think Monks music is too conducive to vocals, plus, Carmen was long in the tooth by that time, but we all have to make a living.The biggest problem i...

Pjw, that was interesting and informative stuff about the "Prez and the "Hawk"; I didn't know any of it. In my opinion they're equal, but that's in the context of the music they're playing.Keep those informative articles coming.

I have just re-discovered an old friend; it was just like running into an old friend when I heard Harold Land on "Invitation" after not hearing him on anything new for many years.This tune is off his album "A lazy Afternoon", and every cut is boss...

Rok, that's been my favorite Frank Sinatra tune for ages; I have that CD.For my part they can use scratchy records for frisbys.Have a nice evening.

Gerry mulligan is someone that we haven't focused on much; he was just the opposite of Pepper Adams on Baritone; he was cool while Pepper was hot, and he was from the West Coast, while Pepper Adams was East Coast. (this is jazz wise)      https:...

Rok, I don't care how good the music is, I can't handle bad recordings, I'll pass on that one.That first track "The Man I Love" isn't recorded too well.I know you have "The Blues"; it's nice."Willow Weep For Me" is so unusual; I can't count the ti...

Mary Lou Williams was friend, mentor, and teacher to Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Tadd Dameron, Bud Powell, and Dizzy Gillespie; that covers a lot of territory.I was very late to her party because I thought she was "old fashioned"...
