Frogman, I know you and Rok, are sick and tired of this, so am I, but it will go on until it ends.When you see pictures of Miles talking to Coltrane, Cannonball, or Gil Evans, there is always written music in front of them. When these guys talked...

Learsfool, your whole post was "wack". I had no idea there was so much difference between a jazz musician, and a classical musician. The only thing you can practice is a written piece of music, or you can practice familiarity with your musical i...

Dave Pike's CD's are running $20 used; it seems as soon as I want to buy somebody's  CD's, the price goes up; it's a conspiracy.  There are no stores that sell CD's close buy, they all went out of business, and now they're raising the prices on li...

Frogman, I like the way you answered that.  I know I would hate to be competing with "Bags" and Lionel Hampton.Since I like vibes, I will most certainly add more of his CD's to my collection.  I'll let yall know what I have chosen after I do the "...

David Pike is someone I haven't heard a lot of, or about, and I can't figure why not? I have him on a CD, "Pike's Peak", that doesn't have one weak cut on it, they all rate 4 stars at least, plus Bill Evans is on piano.                      https...

Thank you Frogman, and Rok; now that I can see the instrument when it's being played, I know precisely what sound it makes, fortunately I like Bolero, because I'll be playing it over and over. I can pipe it into the big rig and check my speakers....

    Rok, I'm glad you're as critical as you are, I jumped the gun on that one, scratch the drummer; you were right. I'm going to overlook your last two sentences.This is the way the Dunham Dancers moved to the beat, can you dig it? That gal is h...

Frogman, there's one thing for certain, you could never mistake Miles for anyone else; with or without the muted trumpet, he had an unmistakable sound. Maybe it's because you're a learned musician, but we have slightly different tastes; this is t...

Let's go around the world, this is fun. Rok, when we saw that dancing in Cuba, I told you and Frogman it was structured; those drumbeats are connected to movements in dance. The dancing that accompanies this music is as structured as any Europea...

Frogman, there is no universal reality; each individual should cling to his or her reality for all it's worth, because ultimately, that is the only reality.

Here it is, all the way live HIROSHIMA! I am 100% into this including the Tibetan aspect at the beginning.                   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxImZTT1AEYI wanted you to see the beautiful June Kuramoto on Koto. I'm sure you can f...

Frogman, Improvise means to create and perform spontaneously or without preparation.  Improvise comes from the Latin word improvisus, meaning "unforeseen, unexpected." Think about when something unexpected happens to you — you have no choice but t...

Frogman, I am subjective to the Nth degree when it comes to selecting and listening to jazz music. If I detect 1 objective hair on my body, I will pull it out.My musician friend who lived with me that Summer, never practiced (that Summer). What ...
