"The Real Diehl";  he is most certainly that. Thanks for that link Frogman.While it's true that no one can go anywhere without talent, financial backing plus the right environment also go a long way.I'm sure Juilliard School has changed in many w...

That is precisely correct Pryso.

Yo Rok, what is, is what they say it is; we can let it be, or argue for the rest of our lives, and this is nothing new.

Since "Bitches Brew" came out in 1970, there is no way you can call jazz after that "new jazz". If so, there is a ton of new jazz that I like.We haven't had enough female vocals; here are two for you.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzPJJLXn...

I would like to thank pjw81563 for introducing someone most of us were unaware of, "Ladie Kim". I know this is my first time hearing Ladie Kim or, Kim Zombik, because there is another Lady Kim known for "Twerking". I don't want you to get them c...

There is nothing I hate more than being misunderstood; when people from Boston talked, they assumed they were speaking English, but some of us who also spoke English, failed to understand them.When you have a crowd of people, from every state in t...

The most pointless arguments we can possibly have are; "What is jazz, or what is not jazz". That's right up there with what is or is not "Blues"; this is determined by the current majority; I'm reminded of "The Beatles"; "Let it Be".What we hear i...

The jazz musicians who I knew up close and personal, were driven ((unfortunately, not to make money) they were driven to create.A musician I had not seen or heard for a few years (we were friends) came back with a new sound that I was totally unfa...

Rok, I want you to know that you are not talking to the wind; I hear you loud and clear,  "Maybe I should have gone to Mexico".

Frogman, every time I think I'm out you draw me back in.

Rok, have you ever noticed how strange things always happen to Frogman's advantage; deletions, not being able to access the thread; it's like he has access to the control panel.  
Jazz for aficionados
Rok, we have been down this path countless times before; no matter what you say after Frogman gets through with it, it's going to be something else, you won't even know what you said.I think from here on out I'll just let Frogman write my posts an...
