| Jazz for aficionados Tell me one jazz musician who ever set foot in a "juke joint".I might be the only aficionado here who ever even went to a "juke Joint"; as a matter of fact, it was in Hattiesberg Mississippi. | |
| Jazz for aficionados When ever yall get through mixing jazz with Blues, and calling them both blues; you take the "Delta" blues and leave me the jazz blues.Yall can call them both "The Blues" if you like, but I guarantee you, if you take both of them to "The Delta", y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, that's an entirely different Blues from the "Delta Blues" with the Wolfman, Muddy, and BB. Most of the "Delta Blues" is in my collection by accident, because it never gets played.So what do you call that "Jazz Blues"? | |
| Jazz for aficionados The "Delta Blues" is what I identify as "The Blues"; I have trouble defining other forms of music as "The Blues". For example "Sandra's Blues" is not the Blues to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMgwWAaxQQ4 https://www.y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mel Brown is more into "Blues" and the only Blues player I liked was Albert King; that's because I saw him live every weekend for about a year or longer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyVhBfIFbiQ https://www.youtube.com/wa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I first heard "Blue Funk" in 1959, but not until you pointed it out, did I realize the contribution "Skeeter Best" made. I heard it, but I didn't identify what I heard.That's my favorite tune on that album, but since it's by Ray Charles and... | |
| Primaluna EVO 300/400 Preamplifier owners - let's hear from you PrimaLuna offers the best value in audio, they're comparable to ARC. No I'm not a PrimaLuna dealer, just an owner of their monoblocks since they came out.With all the things going on in China, that can not last much longer, so I suggest git while... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? We (middle and especially, lower middle class) have paid the highest price of all for cheap prices; our standard of living has been reduced to poverty, as a result of loss of jobs, while the "corporate" politicians and corporations they serve, hav... | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? Feef, if you like oud, you might like "Rabih Abou Khalil"; I have 5 of his CD's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2biLSMIGTs8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKz3_33NJHU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8jTnA... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I went to that club in 65 and 66. The name "Don Cunningham" sounds so familiar but I still can't quite put it together, There were several real nice clubs that I went to in the same vicinity as the Playboy Club, and if he played there, he ... | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? This is the first time I ever heard Muriel Grossman, and naturally I am comparing her to "Trane".I saw "Trane" at a nightclub that didn't even have a stage for the performers. A space in the middle of the floor was allocated for them to play in. ... | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? BRAHJA-In The Mess looks like one of the LSD trips I went on, when I was doing such things. I think that's what It's meant to duplicate. I find it positively mesmerizing, but somehow it's not the same without the video. | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? Feef, Muriel is very interesting; while obviously influenced by Trane, she still has her own message. I will add her to my collection. Thanks for submitting Muriel. | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? Trentmemphis, I think we all listen to other artists in addition to what you called "The Golden Era", but I know I always return to "The Golden Era".Enjoy the music. | |
| Who am I supporting? Do not concern yourself one iota in regard to where the money goes, because in 9 out of 10 times the artists family will not get one red cent.Jazz musicians have been notoriously bad business men, and the most prominent record companies were alway... |
