Jazz, your post was right on time; although we have covered Cuban music in the past from top to bottom, we're back into it again.That clip presented the African, Spanish soul of Cuban music, and I liked it a lot.Enjoy the music.

Frogman, if you never responded to anything I posted, it would certainly make my day; but you can't do that, can you?As for "The Newbee", he is your replacement for "Learsfool"; who would say the Sun rises in the West, if I said it rose in the Eas...

I can't for the life of me understand how the Jesse Cook clip can be felt to be anywhere near as "spectacular" (to use your definition) as any of the recent piano trio recordings. I wish I could say I was "neutral" to it. To my sensibilities it ...

Acman, I know what Frogman said, and he knows what I said; it had nothing to do with "Sahara", and neither one of us are the least bit confused.Enjoy the music.

Frogman, it was'nt just McCoy Tyner, it was McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. What do "you" make of that, nevermind what others make of it.Enjoy the music.

Newbee, you said the same thing I said, only you said it backwards.Frogman You've got me so confused with "fusion", I done forgot what it is. It depends on who is using the word and whether or not you want to make a good or bad interpretation of ...

I bought that album when it came out. That looks like a photograph of "North St. Louis", before it fell on hard times.If I'm not mistaken, that's "fusion", I know I liked it, and listen to it still. Enjoy the music.

Rok, Frogman amplified my point that it is us, and not the music that makes the determination in regard to whether or not the music is good or bad.Here is a record with some fascinating cuts that I like a lot; it is a two record set; consequently,...

Frogman, not only am I into that clip, but Jesse Cook's music in general. What I don't understand about your statement is the fact that you have been most positive about Cuban music, and the title of that tune was "Havana"; it had the feel of Hav...

I've often heard there are only two kinds of music "good and bad". Just who determines which is which? "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", seems to be a more appropriate statement to me.Our minds are computers that contain a record of everyt...

Acman, you have been very consistant with new jazz, but this last "Danny Green Trio"; misses me, sometime it sounds like people playing different tunes, maybe it's my headphones, Give me your take on it.It's for sure that I can't be counted on fo...

"He likes to go barefooted". I know what you mean about "Nana", he sounds good with other people, but not too hot by himself.I just thought of another big reason the jazz you posted sounds so much better, I always heard it on old scratchy records...

Alex, we meet on a different thread, and without a doubt you know your organists; I'm going to give you another one by "Face".          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkag9AKgbAGrant Green and "Face" were as close as brothers, that's why they pl...

Rok, I've been listening to a CD that was a very expensive record just a short time ago, if you could get it. This is a young Miriam Makeba with a sparkling voice.If she had been recorded at this time, singing in the shower, I would buy it. Ladi...

If fusion is to be defined as the combining of different genres of music, then Jesse Cook can be considered the King of fusion; he combines Flamenco, Jazz and an assortment of Spanish flavors.I could listen to him all day long.             https:...
