| Jazz for aficionados Oregonpapa's thread, "Does West Coast jazz get any better than this?" has some of the best jazz musicians of that genre, on one disc. I'll be covering them individually a little later on.Enjoy the music. | |
| Does West Coast Jazz get any better then this? Oregonpapa, no it doesn't; I'll mention it on my thread "Jazz for Aficionados" if you don't mind.All the musicians on that disc are the best the West Coast has to offer. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, race has been used to elect the people who gave us this present "Corporatocracy"; and the constant threat of terror, has been used to take away our rights. We have always perceived that if someone else's rights are taken away, that's OK... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, what did Billie Holiday go to jail for? What did Art Pepper go to jail for? | |

| Jazz for aficionados Seriously, did anyone try and focus on McCoy Tyner, and Elvin Jones when listening to MFT, by Trane. I promise you will hear it differently.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I've been treading water in my basement, but that's better than treading from my rooftop. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGs2iLoDUYE[/url] [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyfvnM4Grik[/u... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lazarus came back from the dead, and so did Orpheus; as a result of hearing the highest Blasphemy possible in the "Jazzasphere", someone has dared to compare St. Coltrane's version of "My Favorite Things", to some relatively unknown version of thi... | |
