| Jazz for aficionados I keep wandering why I'm so late discovering Mary Lou Williams? She's such a talent, that it seems impossible; especially when I think of all the non talented people who've been shoved in my face, and all the lousy records I have in my collection. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, if you haven't ordered yet, I would put "My Mama Pinned a Rose On Me" at the bottom of the list. Not that it's bad, I just think the others are better. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I don't see "Live at the cookery" available. I'm going to get the DVD on Montreaux, that should have the same music. I've got "My Mama Pinned a Rose On Me", no filler. Now I'm going to look at everything that's available to avoid duplication, s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, we can walk and chew gum at the same time. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, each time one of Mary Lou's fingers strike a key, not just a note, but music comes out of the piano. I consider myself blessed to have the ability to appreciate such music. I'm going to acquire whatever is available that I don't have.Enjoy t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I've been comparing "Mary Lou Williams" to "Bird". Not to "Bird" personally but to his era and beyond. One of the reasons I'm doing this is because I was so late in discovering Mary Lou. Since she came from the swing era, I assumed her musi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, you're absolutely correct on that "Pike's Peak" album. Rok and I concurred that those other albums were real nice, just not outstanding. When you mentioned French and Belgium, that reminded me of Hercule Periot, the famous detective, who w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, the violin and guitar definitely play a large roll in French jazz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it_JlVlR8JQ | |

| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, I have had a number of musician friends, and none of them tried to educate me in music. Rok, wanted to know something about music and you answered his questions, that's good. FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, I DO NOT KNOW SQUAT ABOUT MUSIC, NOR... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you asked the questions at 02:09PM and I re-posted your question at 03:56 PM,and it is now 08:25PM. When are we going to get answers? I'm patient, I can wait till the swallows come back to Capistrano, or the cows come home, whichever comes ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I liked Liz Wright; her lyrics to the songs were deep beyond her years, whether she wrote them or not; while that's important, the fact that she chose them is most significant. She'll go a long way.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Instead of posting, I decided to "re-post" your's Seems like I have seen or been in this movie before. A certain person throws a hissy-fit, and storms off the thread. Then we have all these previously unknown and unheard 'supporters' 'coming f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, at this point I prefer that everyone assume there never was any friend, and I made the whole thing up. | |
