| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you really like to fit square pegs into round holes; "All I have to do is chisel off the corners, and I got a perfect fit"Vivaldi: Vier jaargetijden/Quattro Stagioni - Janine Jansen - Internationaal Kamermuziek FestivalThat music was just... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, That was some of the most moving music I've heard. That kind of social interest and motivation that existed then is dead and buried.If you want to understand the "antagonist", the people responsible for the social injustice, read "The Co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, when I saw Trane in 63, this is about how long he played "MY Favorite Things". They began just like it sounds on the album and they continued after that. Trane went on until he lost McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. They decided to stay tog... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now that I'm out of that state of transcendental meditation, it's time to get back to the state of jazz, where the word on the street in the late 50's and early 60's was "Lee Morgan" was the best trumpet ever; he certainly got my vote. Right now ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I hate to disappoint you Frogman, but the Art Blakey story is a sad one and I've had my fill of sad stories. I think I'll even switch genres today, how about some "World Music".How about "Jai Uttall", what a name; although he grew up in New York C... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I am well aware of the fact that you don't want to and didn't intend this thread to be about "learning music". Why do you direct this BS at me?I'm hindering all the poor people who want to learn music on this thread; bad bad Orpheus. If it was... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, since this thread began, you have talked about anything you wanted to talk about, why should you stop now?Sometime there are two or maybe three different conversations going at the same time on different subjects; maybe Rok and Learsfool ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Aficionados", I seem to write a lot about big time musicians I've seen live, and I was wandering; what have I written about Art Blakey?My memory is not as good as it once was, and I don't like to repeat myself; I was hoping that you might help me... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, you do have an ear for new music, new to me anyway. I listen on a regular basis to one of your recommendations; the controversial one.Renee Rosnes is very pretty; unfortunately I wont be seeing her beauty in my listening room, but since sh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, we're talking about "hard bop" where you improvise from beginning to end, as in a "Jam Session"; like the one's Miles, Bird, and Diz engaged in, not just improvising in a standard piece of music. I am not even hinting that you are not ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I got it backwards but as long as everything works out, what difference does it make | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I thought I had answered your question. Yes it does make a difference; Rudy discovered that if you cut down the volume, that gave you more room for dynamic range. The difference between soft and loud can be very distracting when the volume ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Out of all the people I've seen live, Gladys Knight impressed me the most, and she didn't even have The Pips with her. I don't know how my wife acquired the tickets, but they were the highest price ones that I don't usually buy; anyway, whether I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fellow "aficionados" my goal, my objective, my reason for starting this thread was to help us acquire new music in our collection, not to teach music, or to learn music.Recently we have all made some very interesting discoveries as a result of a "... | |
