| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you're right on time, I wandered the exact same thing.I'm going to find another one, back in a minute | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I was comparing Nica's book to the 100 best jazz tunes of the 50's, and noticed there is an incredible, almost 1 on 1 correspondence to the two; practically all of the people in her book, are represented in best jazz tunes of the 50's.I didn'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't "April fool day". Since that's not it.... I'm going to pass on this one, and let Frogman make the judgement. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I have seen more complaints about me than you can shake a stick at. Is this thread titled "What's wrong with Orpheus" or "Jazz For Aficionados"? If it's the first, a lot of people are batting 100, but if it's the latter, they have failed to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, have you ever noticed that the people who complain about what I talk about, never have anything to talk about themselves. Right now I'm listening to "Moanin". The same one that's on the album, the album that's better than KOB. Every time B... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That was a fun clip, was it from a movie? I enjoyed it; in these time we certainly need a lot more uplifting fun type of music, and there was nothing more fun than the "Boogie Woogie".Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I hear you Rok; no body seems to be happy after we diverge; but we'll get Alex's input on this, we might even get some "wire worshipers" input, they always show up when there's a disagreement; do you think they'll show up now?Maybe we should run t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, if you want to pursue this conversation according to the book, we could begin with "Ragtime" and Scott Joplin, followed by New Orleans jazz styles; which migrated to Chicago, and became "Chicago Jazz Styles", that was followed by "Swing",... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rock, when I was digging "Peanuts" I had to darken that peach fuzz over my top lip, and wear a hat to look older, and hope no one ever asked for ID at the clubs he played.Me and "Peanuts" were a lot younger then, and of course him and his band wer... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman and Learsfool, an even better practice time was when he was sleeping; he could dream practice the whole performance. Why didn't I think of that. As usual, the Frogman and Learsfool are right. | |
| Jazz for aficionados learsfool, "There are many things one can and does practice without the instrument, especially when they involve thinking about musical ideas - you often do not need to physically play to be able to work them out in your head."When you word somet... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, who am I to believe, you or my lying eyes? How many times do I have to tell you that the man was living with me? How many jazz groups have you played with? Is it ever possible for you to say, "I don't know"? Just because you and the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, here we go with some more St. Louis jazz. Peanuts Whalum is the guy I know about; could he blow, he had one of the best jazz bands in St. Louis; that might be stretching it a bit, but it didn't cost an arm and leg to see him; that was when I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chuck Berry is another "home boy", he had the "Juke Joints" overflowing. If a guy wanted to see any girls, he had to follow the Blues, because there were very few ladies where you heard Miles and Trane. The best way to find the ladies was to fol... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm over that "culture thing" I had with the Delta Blues, and I can appreciate the Blues for what they are; just don't tell me Howlin Wolf was influenced by Tchaikovsky, and everything is OK.Enjoy the music. |
