| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Rok is saying not everything has an "African Heritage", some things came "uniquely" from people who are descendants of African slaves. They evolved from a slavery so severe that it stripped them of everything from the land which they cam... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, tell me how do you like this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeAHASFqvb4 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazz is an art form that branched out like the many headed "Hydra"; acid jazz, fusion jazz, world jazz, low jazz, high jazz, slow jazz, fast jazz, smooth jazz, rough jazz; you name it jazz, and on and on; consequently, no one can make a statement ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Shubert, is that really you? Where have you been? I'm glad what I heard isn't true.I know you've been abroad, why don't you tell us all about it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, when it came to slavery, "NOLA" was different from anyplace else in the USA; some black people owned slaves, white people didn't mess with some black people, some black people were not black, it was a place where original "voodoo" that ca... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, here is something that will verify all of that which you speak; http://www.blackpast.org/aah/scott-hazel-1920-1981 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Listen at how "Bird" bops, and at the same time plays the melody of this beautiful tune; the bop is sometime over the melody and even "bops" the melody at times; he does that all the way through this great album; bop riffing all over and under tho... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Jerry Gonzalez & The Fort Apache Band -- OBATALAGreat group with a silly name; that sums up a lot.If I saw this at a record store I would keep walking because of the name, but now I'm going to order something by the Fort Apache Band."The ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, on your first post, there was Wynton Marsalis; he wasn't presenting things from my point of view, he was making his presentation from his point of view. At a minimum, that does have something to do with "Wynton Marsalis".I thought we had... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Even Wynton's jazz is different from "My" jazz; Wynton could not "make" jazz when he left Blakey. Everybody, including me, thought he would be the best trumpet player ever; he was, except with other people's music, he could not make original jazz.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados How did people who couldn't even write music know all this brilliant stuff? Wynton, the go to guy for anything jazz, or "African American". While I found all of that very interesting, I would rather put the pieces together for myself. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I only believe what I hear, and I don't hear anything "African" in "Birds" bebop.I think since the music was developed primarily by "African Americans" it has to have some African quality in it, but I can't hear it in bebop.People have th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Christo Redentor" is one of the most beautiful tunes I have ever heard, and I can still remember the first time I heard it. Just the other night, while searching for LP's to down-load, I discovered a new copy; was I elated.It was so long ago tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If it's agreeable to everyone, lets hang into this Cuban thing for awhile; I like it's authenticity, you can feel it.Rok, can you give us a review of the CD you just got?Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now that you mention it Rok, Fusion did not survive the transition from records to being down-loaded to the computer. |
