| Jazz for aficionados Here's a beautiful tune by John Handy that I could listen to all night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IZb8AJQ7acHere's another tune from that same LP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q-vKschzosEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I have a hard time listening to his voice. He died in 99 and only recently can I listen to him. Since knee high; when he sings song for my father, every word is gospel truth, and I can feel it; of course I knew his father.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I don't know if I could say I'm not his biggest fan, because I knew him personally, but since I like his Yodeling best, I can live without the conventional. I think most people like one or the other, but if he did nothing but unconventiona... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jafant, "Jewels of Thought" and "Kharma" are two that I know of, I've got Karma ordered and I'm going to order Jewels of thought. | |
| Jazz for aficionados While I'm not a big band addict, there are exceptions; this is one of them, it's "Gerry Mulligan and his Concert Jazz Band". His sound is so original, without a doubt he is one of the top baritone sax players in jazz. https://www.you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When I saw all these re-issued CD's by Leon Thomas, I thought I had struck a gold mine. I remembered that he had sung with Count Basie, but I thought he had left that behind for his "Avante Garde" mode, as Acman referred to it; that's all I wante... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I don't know which CD this is on but I intend to acquire it. Acman do you have this on record? This is exactly what I'm looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwKbI2Y7lCcWe have too much to choose from.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I don't know why artists put conventional and Avant Garde on the same album. Either a person wants to hear one or the other, but not both. So far I've ordered two CD's, and one of them is under Pharoah Sanders."Leon The Blues Band", seems t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you are right.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, "Kharma" is the first one of these records I'm going to replace. I've got two stacks of records for Goodwill. No, they are not good enough for any "Audiophile" so out they go.Enjoy the music. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Leon Thomas and Count Basie go way back. Even before that, he was a high school heart throb. His bio is incomplete, because I remember something interrupting his stay with Basie, and he would have made some real money had he continued; I think h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I listened to what you posted 3 times, and I told you it was "dreary" and I didn't like it.Whether Stan Getz made it a signature tune or not, I liked the one by "Duke Ellington" the best.I do not study jazz, anyone who wants to "study" ja... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, try Pharoah and Leon on Amazon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwKbI2Y7lCcWhen you see a picture of Pharoah with black hair, instead of gray, there is a possibility that Leon is with him. If you find Pharoah cheap used, I'll buy,... |
