| Jazz for aficionados Acman, The very first record I wore out was "Clifford Brown, and Max Roach", he was my favorite drummer for ages. Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, calling this better than that, amplifies the subjectivity of this music. "Better" is a bad choice of words. Although the difference between Bill Evans, and Bobby Timmons is as wide as the Pacific Ocean, "better" is a word that could be ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as you know, I have been prone to exageration ; but not much, especially when we put a short time frame on this, and end it at 1965. There is a very good reason for the time span; after that we began to get into what is, and what is not ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's Blakey and the messengers from the album "Night In Tunisia", "So Tired" is the name of this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEFaBKok1jgMy favorite "Nica's Dream", is this dream with Horace Silver on piano. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I decided to play a game called; Miles Davis vs The Jazz Messengers. I can't see why everyone is so "ga ga" over Miles, when Blakey's Jazz Messengers had the best music and musicians by far.Let's investigate; Jazz Messengers were an influential j... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I really appreciated the comments on your last post. Pepper Adams is my favorite baritone sax man, and I had to play those cuts twice. Your bass player has eluded me in the past, consequently, I don't have anything meaningful to say ab... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jimmy Blanton was an influential American jazz double bassist. Blanton is credited with being the originator of more complex pizzicato and arco bass solos in a jazz context than previous bassists.Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Blanton originally ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you're hard to please, but I ain't quit yet, how's this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eco4z98nIQY | |
| Jazz for aficionados While fishin in lake "you tube" I caught a nice pair of swingers who can scat like you wouldn't believe; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX_hXkdoWEgEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Funny story about Monk and Miles; Monk didn't take no crap off of anybody under any circumstances, him and Miles had some kind of minor dispute. (having a dispute with Miles wasn't the hardest thing to do). On the record "Bag's Groove", there is ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jafant, as I recall, checking out the bassist was your idea, and we're still waiting on your "first" investigation of a basist. It was suggested that you give us a report on Jimmy Blanton.After getting a description from "Wikipedia", next you go t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since Bassmen are primarily sidemen, except for OP and Mingus, their best work can be found on records headed by others. For example Milt Hintons best work, in my opinion, is on "Heavy Soul" with Ike Quebec. ... | |
| Vinyl sales Not long ago, I broke a 1K cartridge, and unless I get a spare 1K, it's not going to be replaced. It seems that those days when I had a spare 1K are long gone.I have my records on reel to reel and hard drive, so the only thing I'm missing is gett... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Abdul Malik, is a bassist we only touched upon; while he's known for adding a mideastern flavor, I would like for us to investigate the numerous times he has been a sideman with other jazz musicians. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5_Ci... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Javant, here is some interesting work by Mingus, that I don't think Rok presented; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0uOJzabdqQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOKjTzW4IWM ... |
