| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you and Schubert should both read the thread title together, maybe it will soak in; it's not titled "Classical Music For Aficionados", it's not titled "Music for Musician Aficionados"; it's not titled; thread for "Writing Aficionados"; it... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dizzy has been the "only" jazz musician who has not had a "dropout"; meaning an album I could quite well live without since the first time I heard him. The great "Bird" has blown notes that would have been best left in his horn. (The great "Bird... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dizzy might have wasted air, but I don't believe in wasting words." Again, this is not to say that he couldn't play the trumpet. But it is to say that he was not a particularly good trumpet player, especially as we are comparing him to other prof... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I spent my first week in New York looking for Bird and Dizzy. Juilliard was only a smokescreen, a stopover, a pretense I used to put me close to being around Bird and Diz."Those were Miles very own words; Diz didn't go to St. Louis looking for M... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** ....when we look at jazz, unless we accept the premise that it encompasses more than bebop and hard bop, then there is no need for further discussion. ****That statement implies that I'm so narrow minded, I can only accept "bebop" and "hard b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** ....when we look at jazz, unless we accept the premise that it encompasses more than bebop and hard bop, then there is no need for further discussion. ****I refuse to acknowledge that comment for reasons that should be quite apparent.Frogman,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados While perusing the vinyl for new looking records, I discovered one by Herby Hancock that may surprise everyone; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0OGHVjnu9M | |
| Jazz for aficionados The tune starts out real nice with piano and bass, plus guitar, but it could do without the brass; that takes it out of a mellow groove, and puts it somewhere else.I could enjoy the tune "Just Friends", without the brass.I don't know if you rememb... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dizzy Gilespie had a very long and interesting career in jazz, and not for one single moment did he lose me in regard to the music he was playing.I think it would be interesting to compare Miles and Diz; what do you guys say?Miles Dewey Davis III ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados After so much discussion about Lee Morgan, I decided to focus exclusively on Mr. Morgan. You are known by the company you keep, and no where is that truer than when you decide to make an album; Lee Morgan was always surrounded with headliners. "... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lately it seems that the bad boys are becoming the Saber toothed tiger. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, here's a new name "Noah Preminger"; on this clip he seems to be doing a pretty good Trane imitation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9eiyNqU3_M | |
| Jazz for aficionados Miles had everything and blew it overnight, "literally". He had the love of his life, and ran her away with his insane jealousy. Just like in chess, when the Queen falls, it's game over because every thing becomes an instant mess. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you're right, I should never respond before I wake up.Hey Rok! tell us you're in the land of the living; somebody misses you. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, it does absolutely no good to make a clarification with you; I stated this had absolutely nothing to do with "Miles the person", but only with his music; which albums they owned.They didn't keep up with what Miles was doing, only which al... |
