| Jazz for aficionados Sonny Criss, another under appreciated artist; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crhYor3nbvo | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, at a time when I am being literally showered with medical bills, 80 bucks is a fortune and I'm still debating it, that's how good I think Kawaguchi is.You like Grant Green "almost" as much as I do. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Oscar Peterson, "West Side Story"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9V3V_rKMWg | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, it's absolutely astounding how one jazz pianist can mimic another; Miles had a beef with Monk on a session and Monk walked. Fortunately for Miles, Horace Silver was handy. Miles asked Silver to do that "Monk thing" when comping, and till ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ahmad Jamal's album "Marseille" is a winner, it grows on you, the more you listen to it, the more you like,Marseille is a name that reminds me of "Bouillabaisse"; that's a dish I had for the first time in Atlanta and could never get enough of it (... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was fortunate enough to walk and talk with Grant Green; the musician who shared my apartment one summer was a friend of his who he loved like a brother; even more; musicians have bonds even tighter than relatives; Max Roach and Clifford Brown wa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Kawaguchi Triangle pops and sparkles but that doesn't mean I'm going to load up with it.Sometimes I have to have greens and cornbread, or maybe black eyed peas and okra; "Soul Food" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SHdqD077yY | |

| Jazz for aficionados Acman, You have very good taste in jazz. | |
| Jazz for aficionados When searching for the current top jazz, this is the best I could do; you be the judge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocOCEKMzoI8The music is good, but I'm not just ready to reach in my pocket; while Senri Kawaguchi had me reaching,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, 80 bucks for a new CD is unheard of; I'm waiting for the price to go down, which it will, but can you imagine the demand that pushed the price of that CD so high.Supply and demand speaks for itself, although I hear "Return to Forever" in some... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, the answer to your question is that jazz is not dead everywhere, just in the USA | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, jazz is growing outside of the USA; not only is the drummer smoking, but the rest of the band cooks; I'll give them 4 and 1/2 out of 5 stars.I also checked the price on that CD and $80 bucks is too rich for me. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, you add equilibrium to this thread, but we don't need no stinkin books, we're writing one as we go; it's called "The Book of Hearts" and it's composed by the heart, meaning what is in each aficionados heart; the book we're writing is the tru... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now, having said that, I must also say that I am disappointed that you still feel the need to make unnecessary judgments and characterizations about what music may mean to someone other than yourself. Very presumptuous of you and quite off the mar... |
