| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, there is nothing I like better than oriental mixed with jazz. let us hear your favorite.Before now, I thought I had almost all of Mingus, but it seems that I'm missing more than I thought; that's because he recorded so prolifically. I see... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I remembered the name "Blondie", but since I wasn't into it, that's all I remember.If I had known what you know, I would not have posted that documentary. | |
| Jazz for aficionados We have strayed a long way from "classic jazz", which is exemplified by "Clarence Shaw", to "Weird Nightmare", and "Saigon Phunk", but I think that if you are a "serious listener" you can appreciate them both more because of the contrast. Billy B... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although this is a jazz thread, I think this pop documentary is worth presenting. Since I'm almost strictly into jazz, most of you will know more about "Debbie Harry" than me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJaS5mEuWCQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados These are some of the best contributions I can recall; the last "Weird Nightmare" is especially notable, Debbie Harry is new to me, this vocal puts me into her "Weird Nightmare". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCmjeqo9iRc | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like to be competitive when it comes to posting selections; I want to post something at least as good as the last five that have been posted, but that's going to take awhile, 5 days maybe.Here's a forgotten musician that I'll have to get more of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, it's hard to believe how long we have been into Mingus without a dull moment. It's more like we've reviewed several different musicians; I wonder if Mingus had multiple personalities? I know I never get tired of all of them, and to think ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, here's something else for the city. Picture that time of evening when the sky turns dark red, but not dark enough for window lights in the skyscrapers to stand out bold. That's the prelude to a lot of things; maybe even a kiss; that's the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Inna, after that post, somebody will have to come up with a new word for "exaggeration". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, I've read "Beneath the Underdog" and followed Mingus as well; the man was a stick of dynamite with a short fuse. I thought his encounter with "Fat Gal" was touching. (it's a shame, but I can't recall his real name at the moment) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's a vocal version of "Goodbye Porkpie Hat" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuoXYHQJvpU | |

| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, this is the first time I heard someone other than Mingus play "Goodbye Porkpie Hat". This captures the spirit of sadly missing "Porkpie Hat". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, the very first thing that impressed me about Clarence Shaw's record was the cover; a picture of urban decay; that means he has consideration for those at the bottom.I can't quite explain it, but there is something about the music that sounds... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Is Mingus volatile or what? I'm going to give that music a serious listen. |
