| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I knew you would take that attitude, after all BN, did nothing illegal. But now almost every business is a predator, and you're the prey. Those laws on the books that protected you, are no longer there; that's because "We Don't need no stin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Miles Davis should have held a business clinic, they rarely screwed him. Did he ever record for Blue Note? Miles wasn't a junky for that long, he was one of those able to quit. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, There are things in that story consistent with other musicians; like music not being released until their "dead", they seem to prefer "junkys" who they could pay a flat "peanut" sum for a record, and not pay royalties. For some reason o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I have Mosaic MR4-106, The Complete Blue Note Tina Brooks Quintets, it consists of 4 LP's and two booklets. Although there are many good cuts, my favorites are "Star Eyes" and "Stranger In Paradise"; Tina captures the beauty in these tunes ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that guy on the subway "gravely voice" probably a wino and heavy smoker. He made me think about a guy I knew who was a St. Louis celebrity for a few minutes; he could really cook on the organ, and packed the house wherever he played, but... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that's the first "Nature Boy" I heard, and I've been in love with the tune every since.That guy on the subway knows it's about whatever works.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I want to thank you Alex for a very important story. I'll get back to you after I've had a chance to read and digest it.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, that was my attempt at humor. I've never heard of cool classical music. I really meant any classical music you like.Since I have jazz by Andre Previn, I tried to find some classical music by him, but this is all I found. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman; I reported what I knew about, and I only knew about his practice habits for that one Summer. If I said he never practiced, I was reporting what I saw.Brubeck: I still have this memory of him coming up that long winding road to the top of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was trying to find something about the time I saw Dave Brubeck at "Our Lady Of The Snows" shrine, and I got lucky, here it is. http://livemusicstl.com/a-concert-pitch-episode-10-dave-brubeck/I even found where we discussed it on Audiogon, a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman;This debate boils down to one Letter of the alphabet in one sentence, not Wes Phillip's life history, and Rok spelled that out. This is the same as the last debate that revolved around 1 individual who did not practice for 1 summer when h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe if he had a"stellar" piano, the tune would not have turned out nearly as good. This music conveys the thought, and emotions behind the music better than any I've ever heard. Without the words, Bobby Timmons music tells a complete story; ma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, This is the September 97, issue; Wes Phillips is the reviewer, and the context is in regard to the music, not the instrument. On my first post, that paragraph is from the magazine; they gave "Moanin" to Benny Golson. Preceding this sent... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Long tall Marcia Ball"; that's what they call her down there in the swampland, and I call her music "Gator Boogie". She doesn't play the kind of music you expect to read about on a jazz thread, but occasionally I deviate. Marcia is influenced b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Although I've heard a lot of jazz where the piano was less than perfect (good equipment reveals that) I interpreted "playing less than a stellar piano" as a judgement call in regard to Timmons playing and that's where "Stereophile" has o... |
