| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'll buy all the medallions you wore with the jackets.It's raining, dark and dreary where I am; a good day for reminiscing; without a doubt, the 70's was the best decade for me; nobody seemed to be uptight about anything, people were making a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I met Maynard Ferguson once; he was nailed and just goofing around at one of his friend's joint. It was fun to see a big time musician just having a good time; his friend even got him to blow a few high notes just for laughs.Rok, that was a ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Here's another special pianist for both of us. I don't know why it's so hard for some people to realize that their music might be the best in the world, but I don't think some of it is squat. I don't think 99 and 9/10ths of the music that's pres... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jarreau, Hendricks, and Elling; three guys entertaining and having fun, what is there not to like?Mingus always was unusual; he was someone who they didn't know what to make of in 57, but I liked him anyway.I noticed your jazz queen of Croatia did... | |
