| Jazz for aficionados I would like to make a clarification; ladies seemed to be into Chet Baker the musician, while with Miles, it was his music, and his music alone that appealed to so many ladies; that's something I noticed when visiting or talking to female jazz fans. | |
| Jazz for aficionados For years and years Miles made a lot of beautiful, and exciting music that I bought and liked. This went on until his obsession with "different" led him to strange audio lands; they were too different for me anyway."Different", but beautiful is h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I knew a guy who went to school with Miles, and had every record he had ever recorded as late as 66; he was an original fan. I'll bet $2.00 to a donut, that he didn't like that record.That was the worst selling record Miles ever put out, his care... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "What the holy smoly is this?" is what I thought when I put it on the turntable; however, had I known what it was supposed to be, I might not have taken it back to the record store.Regardless how some rave about it, I can still live without it. I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The 58 Sessions were more to my liking; nothing is more beautiful than this "On Green Dolphin Street". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrVnm66joQkEach artist's solo takes me sailing off on a cloud. A lady fan of Miles introduced me ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, I listened to her every Saturday morning; that's when she came on here, and I don't recall any more interesting conversations about jazz; she could keep you so into her conversation, that you never left till it was all over. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Miles continued to gain new audiences, but I believe this discography will certify when he left his original audience behind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis_discographyMy most current CD's by Miles are nothing but dust ca... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Strateahed, I'm from St. Louis, and I've met just about everybody in Miles family. The people who loved Miles and his music in the beginning, still felt unwavering love for Miles the person, but privately, they felt he could leave some of his new... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Strateahed, Somehow I don't get this statement, " As Frogman has said, the removal of Davis would have changed the development of jazz much more than the other two, and I think this would have been true even if Morgan and Brown had lived as long a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Strateahed, your evaluation of Lee Morgan and Miles was the best anyone could have written; while Miles couldn't "out blow" Lee, he conquered "time", which is something relatively few "jazz" musicians conquered; there are so many Miles Davis's tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mark Masters "Blue Skylight" received 4 stars for performance and 4 for sonics in this month's issue of "Stereophile".I'm listening to it as I'm typing this; I like it, it's reminiscent of bands I've liked in the past. I even like the title "Blue... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Brand new jazz review Julius Hemphill, "Dogon A. D."; this is my kind of music. Before I get into the music, let me share what I know about the Dogon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogon_peopleIt has been claimed that the Dogon have rituals ho... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Musicians make their marks and move on, Charley Parker was an exception, I don't see music as a series of building blocks from one generation to the next, as in electronics, but for the most part musicians make their mark and move on.As outstandi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Let us XXXXX that statement "Was to the trumpet, what Bird was to the alto".Frogman,it goes beyond personal taste; it involves whose taste is most concurrent with "the street" meaning aficionados from New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, in regard sp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as always, your post is 'technically' correct, but in the looser artistic sense I disagree with it.Diz and Bird, 'technically' correct in regard to "Bebop" the new jazz that progressed into "hard bop"; but in regard to Lee Morgans prodigi... |
