| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, when I got into jazz, anybody before "Bird" was obsolete. That outlook remained for many years, but recently, new jazz has to be "very old" jazz, such as Louis Armstrong. (isn't that an interesting play on time)I'm going to listen to this ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, on those piano-less trios, you can clearly hear the spontaneity of the improvisation; nothing rehearsed. Each individual musician was a star; none of them are sidemen on those gigs; that's what made those sets so spectacular, they were c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Kenny Dorham: K. D. is here: New York City 1962 & 1966; K. D. trumpet; Sonny Red, alto, or Joe Ferrel , tenor.Kenny died at 48, in 1972, and didn't play much toward the end. He is not always listed with the major post bop trumpet players, but... | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD Who was judgmental about Tom Petty? The posts I read were sympathetic, and some (mine) explained how it could happen to me; I lose count of the pills but I don't lose count of the pain; if I accidentally take too many; " sayonara", over and out. | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is mystical; everyone is thinking Allen Toussaint; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAjgXxF29WE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3a3RxVTuNcI think "The Bright Mississippi" is his best. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that's a very interesting photograph on the cover of Fred Hersch's album. I liked his improvisation on "Whisper Not"; it did two things at once, it retained the original, but gave us his beautiful interpretation at the same time. I'll h... | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD Schubert, when you think it can't get any worse, it gets worse.Like you said "God Bless all who suffer" we will reach the sweet bye and bye. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Mary-jo, you have exquisite taste. Ecstasy was being in a living room with a number of people who appreciated that music, at about the time it came out. Nothing could be heard but the music; the "vibe" was tangible, we were all interconnected, i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I know exactly what you mean by not enough space.For years, I went shopping with a friend who was always trying to save money. He alerted me to every record sale, and we went shopping. The problem with sales is that the temptation to buy "unknow... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, I just made a new discovery while searching my LP's for something to download to hard drive; Gabor Szabo "Mizrab" is like new. All cuts are killer "according to my varied taste" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJaAZ4z0_v4 | |
| Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD When they told me I had arthritis at 45, I thought it was a joke, but at 76, I know it ain't no joke; more pain than I care to discuss.I was told to stay away from the "heavy duty" prescribed pain killers, and so far I am, but I lose track of how ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I really enjoyed your post Pryso. Just before I responded, I was going through old LP's denoting which were best to record. I concur with your entire post, that's because I'm enjoying these records now more than ever; it's because I can clearly ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jimmy Smith certainly lasted. This has been presented before, but one more time wont hurt; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP4LGEAfUEY |
