| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Full Circle" wasn't missing anything according to my ears. Here are the players: "Full Circle" features Bromberg on upright bass, piccolo bass (a bass guitar tuned to the register of a guitar), and drums--his first album to play drums on. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, people may not believe this, or accept it as truth, but music is a reflection of everything that's going on around the musicians. While this is my perception, I would not debate it with anyone who thought otherwise because it's far too broad... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? If you are an "audiophile", why would you have someone over for a listening session who is not an "audiophile?I notice no one has approached this from the other point of view, meaning how do you conduct your behavior when you get invited to an "ex... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, as good as Herb Ellis is, I heard him so much as a sideman, that I had forgotten how good he is in his laid back kind of way that's ideal for West Coast jazz. His thanks to Charlie Christian reminded me that as much as I've read about Charl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I had almost forgotten how good that generation of jazz sounded; they played like they were born speaking the language of jazz. It's no wonder why all those musicians are revered. Thanks for a most appreciated contribution.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, you're the only Aficionado who has consistently posted new music, and I regret I haven't reviewed it all, but I intend to rectify that.Brian Bromberg plays good solid straight ahead jazz of a very high caliber; it's the kind of music demand... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I was able to sample her CD "Do Right" with Houston Person and others, and I liked it. In addition to "You Tube", if she could get WSIE Radio 88.7 FM to play her CD's, that would certainly help to give her more exposure.These artists don't... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, after that write up, wild horses couldn't stop me from listening to this album all the way through. Without a doubt, it is one of the best vocal jazz albums ever. In addition to all that you mentioned, I like the fact that she writes he... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Newbee, with all these fantastic contributions, including yours; this is hardly the Orpheus Show.What do you think of this by Dick Hyman; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQBREkH30Lc&list=PLbrghw2Jb1RUqqRa1xwF10kV9_ivlLl2vEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that clip you posted of "Summertime" was so fantastic that I played it over and over; the girl singing was exquisitely beautiful. I discovered the "exquisitely" beautiful voice did not belong to the lady singing, but you can't have every... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I'm glad you're back. I'm going to give each one of your links a thorough listening, and get back to you with my review.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados An artist like "Art Pepper" has as many facets as a diamond; consequently we can not get into all of them at the same time, that means we have to come back to the facets we missed.When he was alive and doing his thing, I was doing mine; now that I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you Acman for posting "Winter Moon"; this is the link to "The Prisoner" that we didn't post before. om/watch?v=5utT5yiQAOoIt's a continuation of the side of Art Pepper I do not have in my collection.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ken, as long as you know what you like, that's all that counts."Winter Moon" even sounds like Art Pepper, dark and brooding. Although I never met the man or saw him live, I felt that I knew him, that's because of his very revealing autobiography.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I had been thinking about you, and it just came to me what it was about; "Bud Shank, "Koto and Flute". I'm still trying to find it, but as close as I could come. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Koto_%26_Flute.jpgThere is a music link th... |
