| Jazz for aficionados Jzzmusician, I have no problem with that, but I'm curious to hear what Frogman has to say about you stealing his word "Fusion". I'LL have to add that one to my collection.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jzzmusician, you and Frogman are going to have to get together and clarify the definition of "Fusion"; now when you add "any" two different elements you're talking about "fusion", but it took on a different meaning when referring to music. Are yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I got Lee Morgan, this collection had many tunes by Lee Morgan that I never heard before, he had jazz in his bones; I've seen one other musician like this, I'm talking about when they play their instrument, jazz comes out, that's the way Lee ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I own that one plus quite a few others by Al Di Meola; I don't know why, but they sounded better when a very good friend of mine came over with medicinal herbs for my bad back, although when I get in a nostalgic mood, they still sound prett... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I can certainly understand why you have so many CD's by Randy Weston. I can also understand how so much jazz has bypassed me in St. Louis. The only time I was really up to date was in the 50's when all those jazz giants were still alive and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I was going to a class in Chicago with a guy from Bedford Stuyvesant, and when we rode past some of the worst slums in Chicago, he said they looked like the high rent district compared to Bed Sty as he called it. I'm sure he was exaggerating... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, this is my kind of jazz, it resonates with me totally. Frogman never understood how important my bright yellow double knit trousers with the low waist and very wide cuffs were in relation to the music at that same time. I thought those trou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, these times have brought about an epidemic of rough personal problems; so common they are with me, it's how I know I'm alive.Right now I'm listening to Randy Weston and Cecil Payne; they're so down to earth, this music is smooth and easy, th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There are so many versions of "Stimela", I lost count. I just posted that for the newbies. Based on the cover art; how did you ever buy any fusion?I'm going to pursue Randy Weston until I get to the end of the line. Post your favorites by him.E... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Duke Ellington "Thanks For The Beautiful Land On The Delta" certainly had the spirit of "Nawlins" and the Duke. I went through basic training with a guy named "Petre" from "Nawlins"; he taught me the proper pronunciation of his city; he was quite... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, so called "bashers" of Wynton Marsalis never said he couldn't blow the trumpet; he could arguably be the best, but when he's confronted with a blank sheet of paper, and he has to write some jazz notes on it, that's where his weakness shows up... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have this one, and I wore it out a long time ago. Hugh Masekela straight from the jungle, "Tell em About The Sorcerer". I like his visions of Africa; he tells about crossing the Sahara by camel caravan, and I can visualize humping across the d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Randy Weston (born April 6, 1926 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American jazz pianist and composer of Jamaican parentage. He was described by Marian McPartland as "one of the world's great visionary pianists and composers".Since this is the descript... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I retract my last post because that would be equivalent to telling a scientist, that if he can not come up with something equivalent to Einstein's famous formulas, he's a flop.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as far as I am concerned; and I don't mean for it to be offensive, but it's real. I preface this statement with the big "I", meaning one person, and one person only.With all the musical knowledge you and Learsfool have combined, if you c... |
