| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, here are a few "West Coast" sounds; you can give me your opinion of these before we go deeper.Instead of listening to Stan Getz's "Focus" album as separate cuts, it's best to think of this album as a whole piece of music. https:/... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, a lot of things sound better when you come in with no expectations.This female vocalist was on the scene the same time as Dakota Staton; she was smoother, and more "late night", without any edge. https://www.youtube.com/watch... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I have that CD, and I only play it to discover what it sounds like.I like Bud Powell, and I like Chick Corea even more because I have him throughout my collection; but I do not like that CD.Bud Powell did his thing, Chick is still doin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, Dakota Staton was hot in the very late 50's, and early 60's. "The Late Late Show" was her biggest hit. Her music is taking me back in time when me and my gang, (guys and gals) would set aside Sunday, when we were all off, to listen t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, and Acman; we've been down this road many times before, I suggest you ignore it.Did you click on the link for the female vocalist? | |
| Jazz for aficionados As everyone knows by now, I listen to music played on reel, or computer play list; consequently I don't know who the artist is a lot of the time. It's not the same as picking up a record or a CD. Today I did not recognize one of my favorite femal... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Astewart, your very accurate post on "Blue Train" was another confirmation of the greatness of that tune and the musicians who created it.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, Your post in regard to our slight (narrow range of disagreement) in regard to Chick Corea, is "right on".We began to form our taste in music when we were toddlers, shaking our little boody's to what ever turned us on. From that time t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have learned more about music since this thread has been up, than I have in the rest of my entire life.First, there are an infinite number of factors that determine what music we like best. Whatever music we like best, is the best music. The "... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I posted "Per Ulv" by Terje Rypdal as a comparison to some of the things you posted, in an effort to get closer anyway, to what might be your groove.Chic Corea mentions something dedicated to JC, but misses. While Chic's music may sou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I first heard "Blue Trane" in the Winter of 59 on a jukebox in a bar. It was selected often, that gave the music a certain amount of "validity".Today is 05/30/2017, that was 58 years ago when I first heard it, the fact that we are still talking a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Into the misty mid region of Weir"; here is where this music takes you if you listen from beginning to end.BY EDGAR ALLAN POEThe skies they were ashen and sober; The leaves they were crispéd and sere— The leaves they were withering an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is one of the most perfect jazz cuts ever, "Blue Trane"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1GrP6thz-kThis composition is like a puzzle, and each musician's solo is the perfect piece to the puzzle.My favorite Trane; (maybe), but there ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados John Coltrane and Yusef Lateef were two jazz musicians who I revered my entire jazz collecting life, although I can't grasp mathematical concepts in music, I can absorb from a spiritual perspective.Both Coltrane, and Lateef generated music that re... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Nancy came out in 64; the country was in a vastly different world musically at that time, and that determines the music that's chosen and gets played.No matter how good the musicians and their music is, the public at large chooses whether... |
