| Jazz for aficionados Miles Davis is the definition of the word "Enigma".Lou Donaldson was one of the first jazz musicians whose music I played over and over; I just couldn't get enough.Here is an example of his beautiful early music; https://www.youtube.com/w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, I came to like Miles new music just as much as you do, but you must realize this was in 68, and I was totally unprepared for this complete change. Compare the music of Miles and Trane to that music, to understand where I'm coming from, and M... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another Blakey from the same album; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eje5AkzKrEw | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes, I did see Blakey; he was my idol since 55 when I first heard him. I saw him in 1970, he had on bib over-alls, and it was at a run down joint; that brought tears to my eyes. But maybe he wasn't doing bad as I had assumed, but just doing a fa... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Baby-Face Willette might be from New Orleans; I know his music hits some New Orleans licks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkag9AKgbA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOANP-92NqQ | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Casandra Wilson from "Jackson Mississippi" is one of my favorites, and from what I heard, she still lives there.Son House, if that ain't the blues I would like to know what is; as one girl I knew would say "Just throw me out in the alley and let m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw, only one; I was attending classes for the company I worked for in Chicago, (the classes were in Chicago) with other students from all over the country. That in itself was exciting. This was in 68, that's important.As I recall, one of the gu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, thank you very much for that post, it affirms everything I said about the album "South Side Soul".You could have taken photographs of those places mentioned on that album, or you could have filmed those places, but nothing captured the feelin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Afro Blue"; here we see Alvin Jones in his favorite shirt; this was recorded in October of 1963; note Trane's progress on Soprano sax.I saw Trane, McCoy Tyner, Alvin jones, and I'm not positively sure of who the bassist was, but we had a table cl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman's, "Ole Coltrane"; this was released in 1961; that's very important because Trane evolved at a very rapid pace.This is arguably his best album. I call several of his albums the best, depending on my mood when I'm listening.Musicians not no... | |
| Jazz for aficionados For those who have been following my health; I was curled up in the fetal position in a hospital, comfortably waiting to die, when without word, they hauled me and my belongings to another hospital. I was told the surgeon who was to operate was o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I will comment on everyone's post today. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Trivia that's troubling me; "I'm not sure of the color of Dinah Washington's "Continental Mark II" but I saw it parked in front of the famous "Pershing Lounge" surrounded by a crowd of people before she came out of the lounge and got into the car.... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Keegiam, thanks for this information; "There are folks in inner city America who have never known, or known of, a family member that has ever had a job. Generations."I didn't realize things have been that bad for that long, and just to think, Pre... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Before this country was even founded, there were "peasants"; people with nothing but their labor to trade for wages. Long after this country was founded, someone came up with the idea of "unions"; those unions enabled "common people" formerly kno... |
