| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I will acquire that music; Jackie Mac has many faces, and I liked this one a lot.Ghosthouse, I liked the music submitted by Alex, which is an indication that the music you submitted wasn't that far off. That happens a lot with me in jazz; o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although the musicians are top flight, I think it's Mal Waldron making the thing happen; like on a Mingus record, it's the spirit of Mingus that drives the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, Right off the bat this music started talking to me, why? Let's break it down in an objective manner to answer the question.This music was released on the Italian Soul Note label in 1987. The fact that Mal Waldron came along with my favori... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, for music lovers like us, there's nothing better than "you tube".I imagine you spent many years listening to equipment, and discerning the differences in wire; tube or solid state; getting our rigs together has been a long and arduous ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I listened to Carles extensively, and came to the conclusion that his music was too choppy, it rarely flowed.Acman is always speaking of making an effort to listen to a new artists music; that's good, but not too much of an effort; esp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I take listening to music very seriously; especially when someone has presented some music, it's almost like a gift.First, I have to get in the right mode; that means shifting out of "Blue Note" jazz to an almost Latin guitar mode. Th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, let's hope the curtain comes down before senility, and as that great philosopher Forest Gump once said, "That's all I'm gonna say about that". | |
| Jazz for aficionados I not only heard and saw those two minutes, but saw other people's reaction to those 2 minutes, and it was "?". Those two minutes were never explained, and I'm glad they were only 2 minutes. I can never relegate the same importance to those 2 mi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, our conversation, meaning just between the two of us, is the kind of conversation "aficionado's" have that proves they are who they claim to be, but is not really important in relation to John Coltrane's merits as an artist.When he went ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I asked a professional jazz musician I knew, who his favorite artist was, and he told me "Baden Powell" was the one he was listening to at that time."Knew" meaning he is no longer with us; "No", I'm not going to name him. It has been ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as I stated, our discussion about Trane relates to 2 minutes of his total musical life, and was just conversation to pass the time.I use the word "Stereotypical" to mean that I've heard it a lot before; "Bird" and Coltrane for sure; that ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados " It certainly applies to the music at the link here."You certainly got that right; good sonics and perfect vinyl always helps the listening experience. You're getting warm, but this is even better, and it includes some of the same people.Egberto... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, there's no doubt about the sonics. This music is best listened to in a dark room with a blank mind from beginning to end. Although I'm listening to it, I haven't gotten into it yet.Just like a tuner, your mind has to be on the right ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Charlie Haden and Jim Hall are two of the highest rated jazz musicians I can think of. I just read where they got 5 stars on performance, and 5 stars on sonics; that's a rarity.I've just cued this album in and I'm really enjoying it. Whether or ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for your kind words Ghosthouse. |
