| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, I want you to know that in no way am I challenging Frogmans authority to explain "Trane's" last period, because I know he has studied extensively and can write about it very clearly, and it's his profession. (Did I leave anything out? ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, the tide swims against jazz folks, consequently they're going backwards by just standing still. | |
| Jazz for aficionados That only musicians are capable of understanding late period Trane. Frankly, it all seems a little ironic to me.That statement is slightly incorrect because you stated "Period "Trane", when I was referring to those 3 minutes when he lost McCoy Ty... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Someone mentioned a tribute to Mingus, before I got sidetracked, and the question was; did it capture the essence of Charles Mingus.That was a huge task for sure; he would have to carefully divide the works of Mingus by category, and not by time. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, the title of this thread is jazz for aficionados, not music 101. I have suggested to you and Frogman many times, if you want to start a music class thread, you both have my blessings. You and he both have taught some music on this thr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, the crowd was almost every professional musician in St. Louis, and serious aficionados; a lot of whom I knew. That was a very big jazz event that no one serious about the music would miss. For sure his performance didn't sound like t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you very much Acman; I consider that very appropriate for the present conversation."Trane", McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones, are like one musically. The sound of the soprano sax, is the sound of India, and projects the Eastern groove "Trane" w... | |

| Jazz for aficionados "I don't want to get bogged down and go in circles and risk getting into a contentious argument."So Frogman, why do you always risk it?This has been discussed/debated here about half a dozen times now and we are very familiar with the account of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, my opinion of Mr. John Coltrane, or his music has not changed one iota since that night. You do an awful lot of writing about something you have never heard, because he only went on those excursions on live sets, which you have never bee... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gino's was packed, and if you were a man about town who went to live venues, you would have thought you were at a professional musicians convention; every local professional musician I knew from the various clubs in St. Louis was there.There were ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, time, time and time again, the same thing has been said about "Trane"; he goes to galaxies out in the far reaches of the universe. I believe musicians are impressed by the complexity of what he's playing, while people like me are saying;... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, that was thirty years ago when me and the little tyke were at the art museum. I would certainly like to go again, but did you see the steps in front of the museum. The library is even worse, the steps to the first floor are at least ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I noticed all the comments were made by musicians. When I went to see "Trane" live, the professional musician at the table was the only person out of five who knew exactly what Trane was doing, when according to the rest of us he went to... |
