| Jazz for aficionados Here's an album issued by Kenny Burrell in 62, you can compare it to what Grant Green made that same year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXhXkYw3FmI&list=PLEFXyUJJznO6iCF7tvI6ZHpwCjGPOf3k-Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I was listening to "South Side Soul", and thinking about the hippest, coolest, multiethnic neighborhood that ever existed on the planet; 63rd and Cottage Grove was it's center. I don't know what this CD sounds like to someone who wasn't the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Don't you have to have some kind of clearance to get that CIA book? I was in a meeting, and a wire or something came in and they told me I had to leave the room; only people with security clearances could stay. They told them the Vietnam war had... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I don't know Grant Green the person, any more than you do, but I know Grant Greens music; it speaks to me. Out of all of Grant's music that I have ever heard; live and otherwise, I like "The Latin Bit" the least, it's just not him. After I w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I haven't stopped laughing yet; every time I stop, I feel another chuckle coming on.I picture Frogman burning the midnight oil by a small lamp, and it starts all over again."Flying off the shelves in Japan", I might never stop laughing.Enjoy the m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Quite often I have a story to tell that goes along with the music; there have been negative comments from "The peanut gallery" but that's the only comments they ever make, (haven't heard from them in awhile?) If anyone feels that I should just le... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I have that album, bought it when it came out. There has been a raging debate that Wes Montgomery was better before he became famous with the hit records he is known for, where were you? https://www.youtube.com/watc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Grant Green was issued in JAPAN, BUT NOT HERE, why can't you understand that? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you wont regret it. Naturally I have all those individual CD's, and Sonny Clark is on the way. Grant Green is not the only gifted musician on those CD's. There is a lot of genuine love and admiration among the musicians on these CD's; cons... | |
| Jazz for aficionados While Hampton Hawes was in prison, he met "Stymie" of Our Gang fame, he was in for drug addiction. Sonny Clark ODed while he was in prison; what a coincident that we are talking about "Sonny Clark", and I'm reading about Hampton Hawes stay in pri... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hampton Hawes music was like a breath of fresh air; when I say that, I mean no stereotypical cliches. A ten year prison sentence for a person who's on a self destruct mission, doesn't seem like a right bright thing to do by the judge, but that's ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fellow "Aficionados" I'm trying to get a feel for the recordings made in 1960, 61 and 62. I'm not going to provide links for these recordings because if you are a jazz aficionado, they should be in your collection, just pull them out and give a l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Fuego" in Spanish, means fire, and this album is smoking; where there's smoke, there's fire. This album was recorded on October 4, 1959, at Rudy's studio; needles to say, when speaking of recordings, there is only one "Rudy".We have discussed Do... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I saw "Ain't Misbehavin'" in St. Louis with a local cast; it was fantastic, the different cast was very energetic, and I enjoyed their performance to the max.This original cast is one that can never be duplicated; it's the one all others will be c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well Frogman, I'm glad you could squeeze in.That's one of the best, if not the best "hard bop" record in my collection.Since you have indicated that you are definitely a "connoisseur" of that genre, I'll see what else I can find.Enjoy the music. |
