Acman, I've never heard this one; it's simplicity personified, "We don't need no more trouble". The lyrics and the music make you want to hang out on the beach under a coconut tree with some loving company.Enjoy the music.

In regard to the question, "Why do some people start new threads for jazz questions?" Honestly, I don't know, but I can speculate in regard to some possibilities. This might be the longest thread in the history of "Audiogon"; it's so big that peo...

Frogman, I read where there are men on the moon; but I wont say where because I was sworn to secrecy.Alex has been sincerely trying to find some answers, that you have, but will not divulge them.Btw, I think you shortchange others on this forum. T...

Frogman, I was listening to "Bird With Strings" and it occurred to me that you had the audacity to compare Trane with Bird, insinuating that Trane might be better."Bird" is, was, and always will be in a league of his own. There were none before h...

Frogman; Alex posted yesterday at 5:17PM and you haven't responded, but you decided to post a "destructive" comment to me; it's been evident your only objective is to destroy this thread; I call it "jealously". Otherwise you would have started yo...

Frogman, you have attempted to give an objective answer to a subjective question. Your answers are meaningless to someone who doesn't speak the language; and in this case, there is no objective answer.All music is "subjective"; why do think so fe...

Ok Frogman; but first here's something with Bird and Milt, just to let you know that Milt could "Bop" with the best. (not the best recording quality)                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9QDa3FnqwEIn regard to Bird and Trane, I don't qu...

Frogman, I was hoping for more responses, and I didn't think you would be the first one. But as some wise philosopher stated "We got to play the cards that we're dealt". Milt Jackson vs Bobby Hutcherson; although I opened up the debate for fun, I...

Although Milt Jackson is the undisputed king of the jazz vibraphone, Bobby Hutcherson holds his own. The fact that he was born in 1941, while Milt Jackson was born in 1923 helps a lot. Bobby's style is more modern than Milt's, which means he sou...

If this has been posted before, please tell me. If it has been posted before, and I don't remember; that's simply a sign that I'm getting younger.

I don't know what's going on, but we have had a very long string of music that I would give a thumbs up to; all of it very interesting, even if it was on the borderline for a buy, and none of it was "stereotypical"; that's music I've heard for 101...

Frogman, it's amazing; in order to appreciate Eric Dolphy, all we had to do was "listen". I liked that Eric Dolphy clipKenny Wheeler, forlorn and lost; like being in the middle of a dream that seems real, and you are in the middle of nowhere and ...

Alex, I have many "ECM" records, only 1 CD that I can think of; for some reason I never play any of them. So the question is "Why did I buy them in the first place?" There are many things in that same category; bright yellow double knit bell bot...

I'm still trying to find "new" new music, meaning current music that meets with our approval. Since we like "good" jazz, and collectively we seem to be of one mind, more or less, in regard to what is "good jazz".While me and Ghosthouse agreed tha...

This is what I mean by discovering old music that's new for me. I've never heard this fantastic tune by Abbey Lincoln; just out of curiosity, how many have heard this tune by Abbey before now?    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7w8Wb5_aZAEnjoy ...
