| Jazz for aficionados Although Sonny Stitt was compared to Bird, I think he wanted to sound like "Sonny Stitt". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp7zS1uoLwoThis is beautiful, and it sounds like "Sonny Stitt".One of the first albums I ever bought; https://... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Neither Sonny Stitt or Art Pepper would agree about Bird, but if that's what you heard, it works for me.Pryso, I had a bad night and I'm kind of slow in the head about precisely where you're coming from, but I'll try. "Moods" by The Three Sounds ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, what all the other musicians knew is the same thing I'm telling you; the complexity of Birds Bop is beyond comprehension. What I liked most about Bird was that confident but "humble" smile when he was being interviewed; he knew he had "i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, this is not philosophy or psychology, this is music; it is the discussion, not what you say, or what I say. When you say Be Bop, you say "Bird"; there was no Be Bop before "Bird".Parker was a blazingly fast virtuoso, and he introduced re... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Be Bop is too complex a music to be simplified in writing; it boils down to either you hear it or you don't; it has been called Chinese music by some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvdQYSWOobc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGXFuxKTbfY ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, why do you want to rewrite history when Bird is the word. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Be Bop was not evolutionary, it was revolutionary; in regard to the best account of the music, Diz is the most vocal. | |
| Jazz for aficionados There was also Eddie Jefferson; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khyNZ2VVpF8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIhZjafVTDs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxwIDbdyFgc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20ZHeLhsQ14 | |
| Jazz for aficionados There were also Bop vocalists who were quite interesting; they put words to the instrumental Bop; here's King Pleasure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0XYZNx6854 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2N8bVpRneQ https://www.you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I absolutely do not want to change the subject or alter the conversation, I just want an opinion on a current CD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvB0f5akEoQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados Be Bop is not a musical genre that can be understood intellectually, it has to be absorbed by osmosis. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jimmy Smith, "The Sermon" ; this is definitely one of the top tunes in jazz. It's best savored like expensive brandy or scotch; meaning the important contributions of each individual artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IKC2BW4pxc Track... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Bird and Diz" was one of the very first albums I bought, naturally it's long gone, but I will replace it if possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajj9Sv3HQvw | |
| Jazz for aficionados These are my favorites in no particular order; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvdQYSWOobc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvdQYSWOobc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGXFuxKTbfY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryNtmkfeJk4 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as to "the first" recorded Be Bop, I consider the matter moot; as to early recorded Be Bop, it would be something by Bird, or maybe "Groovin High", but what's more important is "the best Be Bop"; I'll look in my collection, and get back t... |
