| Jazz for aficionados Rok, they got a lot of good looking box sets, but how do we find out about the quality. I bought Chico Hamilton one day and sold it the next, same for the 3 Sounds; the question is "How do we find out about the recording quality"? Horace Silver ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've been comparing the quality of what we got with what the "analogers" got, and I'm having a hard time being able to tell the difference. I've got both on my play list. One thing is for certain, those CD's you got are better than my original L... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that is one classy lady, and her picture is also in Nica's book. I remember that hair style; she was one classy lady her entire life, that's why we didn't hear about her.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados original article, a part of Smithsonian Folkways Magazine The music poured from the piano. On a large platform inside the oval mahogany bar at New York’s Hickory House, the last surviving establishment offering jazz on West 52nd Street, “Swing Str... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok I'm enjoying Mary Louise Williams music more than any other musician I ever encountered, and to think we almost missed her.Although I had heard the name, I thought her music was too old for me, that's because I had set a before "Bird" and afte... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I keep forgetting that I'm one of the Poobahs.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados My friend did not drink or party, and my wild hormones seemed to amuse him. If you have read any of the jazz musicians autobiographies, you know how unusual their lives are. I was mostly on sick leave while he was staying in my apartment, so I h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that was even better than my definition; are you running for "Grand Poobah"?Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good question Acman; it's when some of the very best jazz musicians don't have anything original to play, and they just get together and play a bunch of well worn familiar jazz "cliches" and then they call it "jammin". JATP is well known for this... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is one of the tunes that was on my play list today "Erica" by John Handy; it's on the LP "Where Go The Boats", that came out in 78. I think it's a beautiful tune, that would befit a beautiful lady named "Erica". https://www.youtub... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Why does this "stereotypical" jazz sound so good to everybody but me. It might have sounded good at that time, but I can live without now. Rok I can understand why that wasn't released.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here is my opinion on John Coltrane. He was so talented, and so good, that it became easy for him to produce some of the best sounds anybody ever heard. When it became easy, he couldn't believe it, he thought he had to practice and work; that's ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This Grant Green "Bruha" produced some of the best music I have ever heard, and as Rok said; "It's got me spending money".Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you find out for sure, that's fine with me, but there is far more good music that I don't have in my collection for me to bother.When you find out for sure, please let me know, and I will accept your findings as the last word.Enjoy the mu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There are so many ramifications involved in this Grant Green "Bruha" that can not be proven; that it's foolish to continue one more minute; besides everybody that knows for sure is dead.Please continue with whatever, and;Enjoy the music. |
