| Jazz for aficionados If someone who was trying to communicate with me, they could be highly educated, but only spoke French; we would not be able to communicate because I don't speak French.If someone was trying to communicate with me, but only spoke "music", we would... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I get a good feeling when I can see ways musicians can get their best efforts in front of the people without being exploited in the process. Now a musician can make a CD and sell it at a live performance, and get it on "you tube"; all they need i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Apparently Acman, your listening, and hearing is like Miles playing, "very advanced".I listened to them again, and found the sound agreeable, just not enough to put money on, but I'm still listening.Now that I'm looking and listening, I can see h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados While I don't have Rok's same appreciation for the "traditional" such as "Nawlins" jazz, I share his appreciation for the "classic" jazz musicians. And that came about since this thread, which means before this thread, I was in constant search fo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Do you think, for one minute, that Bird and Trane didn’t "cultivate" their individuality? Every player sets out to find his/her voice and does so through a combination of inspiration and the hard work of trying new things; everything from developi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The first time I heard "Bernie's Tune" was in the Summer of 56 by Wardell Gray; therefore it is "The" Bernie's Tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2IBIc_9DMNote how "authentic" this music is. And "Cherokee" by Sonny Stitt, the altern... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, things are a changing; those out of print LP's that you had to pay an arm and two legs for, if you could find them, are now on CD's for $13. bucks.Just go shopping on "you tube", and get back to me on Wardell, and Stitt to see if you like any... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, while people are producing good music today, more and more, I tend to prefer the past; especially when I can go on you tube and see more and more of it available. Many times I mentioned the Chicago "South Side" of my youth where I heard so m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazz, when I compared all of our musical posts, it amazed me how competitive your's was without one professional musician, or expensive instrument.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that was a marvelous post except for the last sentence; have you ever seen a pit bull in a dog fight, if there are two of them, one of them will have to get buried. Fortunately we are a long ways apart, so that can't happen, but it will stop... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I want you to check this and check it thoroughly; me, Alex, Jazz, and even Frogman posted music that's only different in degrees, and the music I posted is "bland and tasteless". Get back to me on that.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I got news for you, Space Flight Sam Lazar done went down to $43. and change; still too rich for my blood.As a Miriam Makeba "Connoisseur" (I still can not spell that word) I have been enjoying this new CD so much that I'm just getting around... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch.For the "Thread Troll" is among us, and his slithy tongue does gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When you say 'like' or 'dislike' it is a personal statement whether you choose to amplify it or not. When you say 'good' or 'bad' it suggests that this categorization has more of a universal application to the music absent your personal enjoyment... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I think I have a few of her CD's, the one that comes to mind off hand is "Don't Smoke In Bed". I see her style has changed to more a "up beat" presentation, that's good.Enjoy the music. |
