| Jazz for aficionados Ahmad Jamal has always been a very advanced artist, that's why Miles liked him so much. "Extensions" is a tune that could have been done yesterday, but he originated it in the 60's, that's just one of the reasons Miles liked him.I saw him in Chic... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although Sax is my favorite instrument, I'm getting tired of it. (bad choice of words, but it's late) Looking at your list, the people I don't listen to on a regular basis are Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Lee Konitz, and Lenny Tristano. I suggest... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Nica" was a most astounding lady; she did more in one life than most people could have done in three lives. When I was young (17), the stories about her and "Bird" were so pervasive, that I believed them, and they made her out to be no more tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ahmad Jamal is the only major jazz artist we have not thoroughly reviewed. He is one of the few artists that Miles admired. That alone indicates this artist must have something worth investigating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyyfM-gI... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since jazz movies, or movies about jazz musicians, are the current topic of discussions; I'll begin by asking, has anyone seen "Miles Ahead", "Born To Be Blue", about Chet Baker" or "Nina".Although I haven't seen any of them, I will relay to you w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I rated those three links the same as you; naturally we liked Mingus the best. Although jazz musicians had a tough time (when they were the best) back then, I believe things are better now for a number of reasons: number 1 being they can go to a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, this is not the first time this trolley jumped it's tracks and it won't be the last time. Would you kindly go back to my post at 3:32 PM today. That was the last post I made that is "applicable" to this thread; it was about the bass clarine... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Hit don't make no difference now"; the entire south is on food stamps.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I understand, my last post implied there was a difference between the Republican, and Democratic parties; maybe there was once upon a time, but as far as I'm concerned they both are politicians, who are only for politicians.When I was a kid s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, it's not about approval of white people, it's about making a living. Let me tell you about the racism that does not exist; it's a long story, so I hope you aren't in a hurry.In 1980, a "white" man without a college education, who worked at on... | |
| Jazz for aficionados America is, and always has been the most racist free country on the planet. And this includes the era during slavery. To understand that, you have to be able to think, and be aware of attitudes and conditions around the world.Rok, that must be ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, what's your take on the link that Ghosthouse provided; do you think things have gotten better for jazz musicians, and if so, how?I'll wait for your response.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados The bass clarinet is a very under utilized instrument in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSZtX3WHF_E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfQfv99BCHEErik Dolphy excels on this instrument. https://www.youtu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I applaud the way you are consistently refuting my answers with sound logic, that indicates you are seeking the truth, and want no part of any preconceived notion.You are absolutely correct, that doctor was an impostor; doctors are men... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, Erick Dolphy was self treating himself for "low blood sugar" when he asked for the bottles of Coke, and ice cream. This means he had experienced some kind of symptoms before that indicated low blood sugar, and had treated himself by r... |
