| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, as much as I would like to, I can't blame that doctor; this is in Germany, where that doctor had to go on what he believed, based on what he had heard and read. There just was not enough time to correct his misconceptions. Today, and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've noticed that Eric sounds best as a sideman to me. There are a number of musicians I liked very much on other records led by someone else. On baritone sax there is Pepper Adams with Donald Byrd, and also with Mingus, who was absolutely fanta... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of the "bass Clarinet", bought this album "Kalenia" by Oran Etkin that has two of my favorite instruments; bass clarinet, and balaphon, a West African instrument.This CD is so unusual that it takes more than one listen to get into it, but... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Eric was different in every way. As I stated before, a jazz musician and his music are one; the fact that almost everybody else plays someone else's music, while a jazz musicians music is coming from his soul helps to confirm this.That statement ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now that I think about it Ghosthouse, it was extremely harsh. I didn't take "that time" into consideration, which means public awareness of diabetes. While my statement was accurate, it didn't take mitigating factors into consideration.Personall... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I was sympathetic with Dolphy until just before the end. He was not a drug addict, but he was acting somewhat like a junky, and that's what the medical people thought.No junky would ever go on stage in that horrible condition; why did... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, it's after midnight, and I just discovered a new way to spell Enjoy. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, before I even look at this video, I want to say "Thank you very much"; that's because I know so little about Eric Dolphy, and personally I haven't given his music the consideration it deserves. A jazz musician is his music, consequent... | |
| Jazz for aficionados How's this for a change of pace? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvUQcnfwUUMEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I got 20/20 vision.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, unless the actor is "Dexter Gordon", I'm not interested, but apparently it's time for a change of subject.I don't think we've heard "Badal Roy". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjEQda_4QWMEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Has everyone seen "Round Midnight? I don't see any comments, and do you have the soundtrack? I saw a good movie about "Expats" (Paris Blues) that didn't have the high quality of jazz as "Round Midnight". I was just wondering, how do you grade a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Actors don't create stories, it's not their job; that's for writers. Actors create believable characters.I never saw General Patton; consequently I have to take your word for whether or not George C. Scott did such a marvelous job as Patton; howe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When in doubt, let Frogman figure it out. | |
| Jazz for aficionados As the decider in chief of this thread, it is my job to discern what is and "what is not". In regard to Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles, there were times when I thought he was Ray Charles, and that's what acting is all about; to make the audience belie... |
