| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm so glad you asked that question. I went to "Mo Bay" by my lonesome and hooked up with a beautiful Jamaican Lady. That's a No NO, but nobody told me; they chased me and the lady all over the island. I went from one place to the other, b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When you buy music from the islands; this is what you hear, the people in the islands like this kind of jazz, they don't care for "stereotypical" music, meaning reggae Jamaica, or the "stereotypical" steel drum Trinidad music, they seem to like wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The tune "I Want To Be a Sideman" submitted by Frogman 09-05-2016 11:23am, caused me to think how a major jazz musician coming through St. Louis wanting to do a gig would pick up sidemen. At that time, there were so many good jazz musicians in St... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, who are you to criticize "Bird"? While you are most certainly entitled to your own opinions, some of them sound like you been smoking da splif mon. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I was hooked from the beginning notes; I'll have to search for more of their music; it sounds like a beautiful combination of jazz with a reggae beat. Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Rasta Man Vibrations" and "Natty Dread" were my first two reggae albums, that led me to other artists; it was a real blast. I even went to "Mo Bay"; that's what the islanders call "Montego Bay". It's the second largest city in Jamaica. Believe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The purpose of this thread is to share our best musical experiences, so that we may increase our collections. While it states for "jazz aficionados", meaning those who have spent their entire adult lives listening to, and collecting jazz records,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Bird could have played everything that Trane played. The answer is a resounding NO.Frogman, that is the most ludicrous statement you ever made. If the notes were on a saxophone, "Bird" could play them, plus "Bird's" music was comprehensible.GAME ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, this is your cup of tea, you could go back and forth on something like this for days on end. I can certainly see how others would get discouraged in watching this "bruha" that is not a productive, or enjoyable discussion about the music.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And what about this;Btw, I think you shortchange others on this forum. There are many participants here who, for (I assume) various reasons, choose not to participate in this thread. I base that on comments I read made on other threads. Imo, it... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I feel that I got sucked into a silly argument, that I didn't want to be in, in the first place, and now you cop out. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now if you want fast and complex; here's some of "Birds" best bop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aMCviqO95kHere's "Bird" on Savoy Vinyl. Like I said; some can hear; while others can not. Although I feel blessed to be able to hear and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When You hear the beauty of this tune that was made in 49, and sounds as current as if it was made yesterday, you know why "Bird" is idolized.The way bird can riff over a slow easy going ballad is amazing; this tune is too beautiful for words. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If there had not been a "Charles Parker" there would not be a John Coltrane; he started out imitating "Bird" note for note; now what does that say about who's boss?The proof of the pudding lies in the listening; some can hear, some can not; jazz i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, if Trane were alive today, he wouldn't even back up your statement in regard to "Bird". I'm beginning to wander if you can really hear jazz, because apparently you haven't heard "Bird".Have you read Miles Bio? Do you have any idea why "... |
