| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you've gone mad. I posted the link to the album that featured "Diz, Stitt, and Rollins"; that was sufficient enough. I picked my favorite tune on that particular album with no reference to Rollins on that particular cut; now I didn't k... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The tone, and timbre of Sonny Rollins "jazz sax", is the most recognizable there is, for me; it's almost like a person speaking. When you hear that voice, you know who it is, and this has gone on through the years. One of the very first albums I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've written so much about Grant Green, and him being from St. Louis; that a person could think we were friends. That's a misconception that I may have unintentionally given. I know as much about Grant Green the person, as you do. He requested ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You got that right Jafant, Grant Green can put you in a mellow mood around midnight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPeFWcD2idgEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados As I stated once before, I heard Grant Green when he was playing for "Grant Green" and nobody else. This was in St. Louis before Blue Note even heard of him. Although I was too young to be in an establishment that sold alcoholic beverages, I was... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I first heard Grant Green when I was 16 and he was 23; he sounded then, just like he sounds on this post;I'm feeling the spirit yall, and I'm going to "Go Down Moses" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRyz7aWcxUcNow I'm going with Joshua, a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Review by Steve Huey [-]Grant Green recorded so much high-quality music for Blue Note during the first half of the '60s that a number of excellent sessions went unissued at the time. Even so, it's still hard to figure out why 1964's Matador was o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, this was almost the standard for "Moonlight in Vermont"; a lot of DJ's used it as a theme song when they came on late night; it is sooo mellow . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRNpc-hFkCsEnjoy the music | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, johnny Smith "Moonlight in Vermont" has been in my collection since the late 50's. It featured Stan Getz on tenor; there wasn't a cut on that album that I didn't like.Enjoy the music | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazzcourier, I hope they read your post in regard to saying more with fewer words, or at least "saying something". Right now, I'm suffering from eye strain trying to read their diatribes, and brain drain from trying to figure em out. I believe t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, this thread has gone on continuously since 02-24-2013, and you were the first person to post on it. Why do you continue?Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazzcourier, you don't have to use a lot of words to say something, but if you are going to use a lot of words "say something".Before I read Acmans post, I was in pursuit of a blues guitarist. One word in his post steered me in a different directi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, you're completely illogical, so why should I think anything you said was logical. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, thank you very much for that valuable information; now I'll be able to find the best of Tiny Grimes, playing with "Bird" says more than a mouthful.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, in my young days, I traveled from one blues joint to another; consequently, my familiarity with the blues is from live music, as opposed to records, as in jazz, and the only famous name I can recall is Albert King.At that time I never had on... |
