| Jazz for aficionados Acman, if you're out there, could you post 3 of your favorite cuts from "Marseille", without including the title cut?Like all the best jazz music, you are required to really listen.In case you're wondering why I don't do this myself, I'm in bed un... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, that was one of Mingus's best. All of his albums were so original that you always thought, "There is no way that he's going to ever top that", but he still managed to come up with something better the next time. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, my sources of the religions from Africa were books that were hundreds of years old, written by "slave traders". They were intelligent, but not highly educated; words were spelled "phonetically"; for example, Ama De Bella became Mama De ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you make some of the 'dog- gonest' statements; how can Wynton Marsalis have any thing to do with the future of jazz, when everything he does is in the past? Is the future of jazz in the past?Explain where doom and gloom come in? I'm waiting. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary-jo, since you've joined our gathering, we have a lot more activity, and I like that.Frogman, Nina Simone sings about some of the island deities; Dambalah is one of them. Those Gods from Africa survived in the Caribbean, but not in "America".... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I consider things of that nature to be very important, and as the OP I would also appreciate the specific reason for the deletion. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I have "flip-floped" on that record; which is a good record, but I object to 3 versions of the same thing, one of which is not music, but spoken French, which I don't understand.There is so much "good" music on that record, which is hard to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When I was buying "Mosaic", I had more expendable cash; it's an entirely different story now.I know I promised a review of "Marseille" by Ahmad, but three versions of the same tune is a little bit much. I'm going back to what I stated previously,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This morning's spotlight is on "Gene Harris"; best known as the original leader of "The 3 Sounds". WikipediaGene Harris (September 1, 1933 in Benton Harbor, Michigan – January 16, 2000 in Boise, Idaho) was an American jazz pianist known for his wa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I would speculate that goes for everyone on this thread, but lately we seem to be able to get better recording quality.The CD's of the 100 best recordings of the 50's sound better than some of my records; it's a mixed bag, but I would ven... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No Rok, I didn't realize it cost $180. I bought records from Mosaic before they became so expensive. The problem with Mosaic is always the same; too much, first and second takes, plus stuff they could have left in the vault; but for the connoiss... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, we're both guilty in regard to how we accepted her voice; I pointed out to you the years to avoid because her voice had gone bad, and they had pretty pictures and CD to cover it up.Here's something that sounds interesting: "Classic Savoy Be-B... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I saw Ahmad in Chicago in the late 80's, and his drummer Frank Gant told me they had tickets to Japan, and that they could not make a living without Japan, and Europe. At that time, I didn't know this was so."Marseille", the title track is afford... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I never said her rough life helped her. I posted how she was regarded at 14 by the establishment.Miles sister lived in Chicago, and he visited her during the Christmas Holidays, while Ahmad was there at the Pershing lounge, plus Chicago was Ahmad... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Irony of ironies Mary_jo; I don't guess you knew that you posted one of Rok's most favorite tunes? Compared to What. |
