| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, since I am not a musician, you are going to speak a language that I have no comprehension of, and submit that as your proof, when it's for sure I can't refute it. I stand by what I hear and consider that as proof. "Bebop" is a long way ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, there is no such thing as "jazz" that one can refer to in any meaningful way; latin jazz, acid jazz, dixie land jazz, and on and on; what are you referring to?I consider Charley Parker as "The Creator" of my kind of jazz. "Birds" racial ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados The only relationship the Cuban Blues has to American Blues is the same relationship they both have to the Universal World Blues.This music is about as "authentic" as any music can get; Cubans didn't have to reach back to Africa because it came to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that LP was released in 1964, and that only tells you "partially" how timeless this music is; I remember hearing some of this music going back to the mid 50's; good music never get old. | |

| Jazz for aficionados I'm listening to something right now that's the answer to one of Ghosthouse's questions; it was about "Taste of Honey" by "Vince Guaraldi" . This LP is titled "Vince Guaraldi and Bola Sete"; they are the one's I'm downloading; the one's I bought ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I just ran across another vocalist who was perfect for the music he sang; "King Pleasure", the artist who was hot in the early 50's I think it was, he was on radio and the jukeboxes at that time. You can find him on "you tube"I discovered wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, since I'm not qualified to voice an expert opinion in re to classical music, I'll accept your expert opinion as the final word on Wynton's classical "virtuosity". | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's always about the song, never the singer, and no one knows that better than Ella; she's always so appropriate, never scatting when it's not called for. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think they're perfect, the way they capture the essence of each song they sing; "Moanin" for example. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, "Aficionados", while I began this journey to constantly learn, and acquire new things, (which I did) I've also learned to appreciate what I already have, and I would like to touch on that.In the beginning, I acquired "Moods" (Gene Harris) by... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In regard to Wynton we are saying the same thing in between the lines.In regard to jazz, "subjectivity" is always a factor.Gene Harris grew into a national treasure, and nobody told me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfNIVdnz1FQ https://w... |
