| Jazz for aficionados BTW Ghosthouse, Frogman, and Rok have also inquired why I thought something was just ok that they considered special; maybe I'm too honest. But when they asked that question, the jazz was very good, it just sounded "stereotypical" to me, that's ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I've been listening to jazz for my entire life, and I'm an old man; you shouldn't expect something "new" that grabs you, will grab me.I've heard the best jazz musicians from the 50's up until it changed and became more abstract in rece... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I remember a critic saying Coltrane sounded like a big man in a small box, when he played with Miles."Acman, that's quite a quote, and it fits so well; Coltrane really expanded after he left Miles.The discussion Frogman and me are having pertains... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I wondered into this, and couldn't quit looking and listening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNbATOp4fbkThat Jackie Mac is just too much, and that chick is tearing up some drums; I just can't quit looking and listening. It's almost imp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "To thine own ears be true", quote the great philosopher Orpheus. You don't have to be a philosopher or musician to know what you like and don't like. If JC decided to communicate with the angels when he was nearing his last breath, that was his... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I remember the first time I heard "Speak Low" by Sonny Clark. I was on a date in a night club when I heard this music emanating from the jukebox. It had been one of my favorite tunes for some time, but I never heard it played so well. At ... | |
| RVG RIP There's a short story in one of my encyclopedias titled "Waiting For Dizzy" involving Art Farmer, Phil Woods, and Benny Golson, waiting for Dizzy, at Rudy Van Gelders studio, by Gene Lees.Everyone who had ever recorded there knew Rudy's quirks, an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, a comparison to those two is even farther apart than apples and oranges. I was making an attempt to illustrate the word "drama" as I used it to describe music. That was a flop; evidently I need another word that I have yet to find.I ins... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think we should continue to honor Bobby Hutcherson, and Toots Thieleman by playing there music. That could prove to be beneficial to our collections, plus quite enjoyable.One of the CD's I have is "Skyline": Bobby Hutcherson (vibraphone, marimb... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I must be using the wrong word. The purpose of language is to communicate; if a word means one thing to you and another to me in regard to music, we need to find another word.The piece that didn't hook you is one of my absolute favorit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I use the word "drama" to express excitement; something is happening that makes you want to move, you can feel the music. Sonny Clark seems to always have this element in his music, it is in constant motion, and often causes you to vi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I listened to Alan Pasqua's "The Antisocial Club" again, and I heard MIles in the early 70's, plus the best of fusion during that same time period, but it was all original.I don't know much about different kinds of "keyboards"; could you identify ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, any time an individual is sincere in his efforts to communicate, I will go the limit.I haven't been in my best listening mode lately, and I listened on the headphones. After I pipe it into the big rig and listen, I'll get back to you,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you're back in business Rok. Now we know to stay away from any link with an M in front of it.Have you heard Ghosthouse's link yet?I have been accused, not by Ghosthouse, but others of having a problem with new music. Apparently I'll have to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If you guys are having trouble understanding that stuff, it's not because you're dumb. My "Geek" cleared my problem, and I don't even know what he's talking about when he's talking about computers; it's like he's speaking a different language.I h... |
