| Jazz for aficionados Neither Ahmad Jamal or "Poinciana" will ever get old. I had the good fortune of seeing him in Chicago in the late 80's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cytUz9KkK9M | |
| Jazz for aficionados The pick of the litter for the day, with incredible sonics from an old LP; I wonder what a new one would sound like; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hkKxu57uWA | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not much music can withstand the vicissitudes of time, but this music sounds as good today as it did in 1957. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg73uI7QHZU | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since you're a musician, maybe you can explain to us who wonder why "The Music Man" won the award for best musical? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I heard the music from an LP no later than 57 now that I remember, I guess that was from the play. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Tablejockey, yes, I have the LP of "The Dynamic Duo". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evmQXtlxTzwThis is one of his best albums; long live the B3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evmQXtlxTzw | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chico Hamilton is an unusual artist; when he hit's it's a knockout, but when he misses; you take it from there. I was listening to one where he hit; "Headhunters", it's on LP, but worth looking for.Here's a very nice one that's known and liked; ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Kenny Burrell was such a prodigious artist, that I'm sure I don't even come close to having all his best works. He is the next recommendation.I suggest we submit our favorite works by him that will include his work as a sideman as well; that's ho... | |
| Jazz for aficionados For me personally, Mary Lou's music has a very unusual appeal; like a memory that you can't quite remember, because maybe you were too young, but it gives you a pleasant feeling.Music affects us in more ways than we can put into words, maybe that'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's only been fairly recent that I got into Mary Lou; that's because I thought she was of another generation that I couldn't relate to, but I discovered differently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4THBVc47ug https://www.youtube.c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was just perusing some CD's debating whether or not to review them. I know Alex has been through the extensive review we did of Mary Lou Williams, but you might not be familiar with her works Tablejockey?Since what I have lined up for review is... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I've been in a "Sonny Criss" groove, and I'm liking it; he's so comfortable with himself, and never tries to get out of recognized boundaries, he also likes to be surrounded by other jazz masters.Back to the album "Criss Craft", the one with... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, that worked out very well for both of us; did you hear how "hybridized" that music was, it wasn't hard-bop, or West Coast, but a combination of both, and a lot of things that sounded good. I'm sure I've got more of Sonny Criss in the collec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Tablejockey, while your top priority is LP's; how do you rate CD's with no LP available? |
