| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, one of my friends like's free jazz, and every time these musicians come to town, he gives me a ring; fortunately, we've been friends for a very long time, so I go pick him up, with earplugs; but "free Jazz" should be free, you shouldn'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If Eric Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" ain't abstract, grits ain't grocery, eggs ain't poultry, and Mona Lisa was a man.Some of my favorite musicians are crazy about "Eric Dolphy"; it must have been his personality. If I owned this record, I would leave... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although abstract may seem to be an easy word to describe, it's not. The definition can only be agreed on by the people using the word. I'm going to find jazz that I call abstract, and see if it fits your definition as well, and you can do likew... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is what I was referring to by Grachun Moncur III, as being abstract, although this particular cut is quite accessible for me, but there are other cuts on this same LP that are abstract.I was going through his music, since I don't have anythin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I found "Search For The New Land" accessible as well, if I said it I'm getting ahead of myself, when I meant "Evolution" with Grachun Moncur."Search For The New Land" I suppose was abstract when compared to "Side Winder". No Ghosthous... | |

| Jazz for aficionados You're absolutely correct jafant. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, here's some more information on "Search For The New Land".It's an album by jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan; a hard bop set with a group of well-known jazz musicians, Search for the New Land was recorded before The Sidewinder was released and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, Lee Morgan is so fantastic, that I can't think of a bad cut, when I've heard bad cuts by Charley Parker. Picking out the best is quite a job, but I pick the album, "Search For The New Land", every cut on that album is boss. ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I thought you were making more of a humorous statement than a serious one, and square pegs into round holes was meant to be humorous.I am not in a rancorous mood, and have no intention of getting into one; you're going to have to play thi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What are we going to do next? I'm sure we haven't been through Lee Morgan.Enjoy the music. | |
