| Jazz for aficionados I believe you puttin us on Schubert. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "The Bright Mississippi"; the interesting thing about that glistening muddy river from St. Louis to "Nawlins" is that the culture of the people along the river, and the music are so connected. "Board plank floors and Juke Joints", are another int... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks to you, fellow aficionados, this has been a very good year for new acquisitions. What's amazing about my "new" acquisitions, is that they were not current, with the exception of "Dee Dee Bridgewater". Larry Willis was someone I missed com... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is the first time I recall hearing Larry Willis, although I probably heard him as a sideman. Yes! There is a big deal on Larry Willis; there's a big deal on any body who can play at this level.The problems in jazz, are caused by people who c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, after Frogman's review, what more can I say; except, all three CD's are on order.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, it seems your taste in jazz is improving with age, while the rest of you is just getting old.I'll give your posts an in depth listen and review tomorrow.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I've been gone all day, and your question is a brain breaker; especially in the in-depth way you want it answered. "Diz" played "Bop" after Bird passed; that alone would seem to nullify my statement, but I don't think so.Right now, I'm t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that was a fine contribution, and I enjoyed every last minute.Did you know there are those who can not distinguish between notes played very fast and "Bird's Best Bop"? When you told me, (and I knew you would) that you liked what you heard, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Welcome to the thread Jazzmusician, I have that original LP. Seeing that performance live was quite a privilege, which will live in your memory forever; wish I could have been there.I'll look forward to your many fine contributions in then future.... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, although I had seen the movie and read the book, the play was the most impressive of them all; and the most impressive aspect of the play was the music; and that was the most impressive for me, because of the "reed doubler" down in the pi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, I don't mean to leave you hanging, it's just that I don't quite know how to respond to your posts without being misunderstood, and I'm hoping Frogman will chime in.In the meantime, I'm going to sip some nog, and toast to you and all the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Frogman, and Schubert; this will take you to "Bird's best Bop"; which will lead into the documentary, "Celebrating Bird", that will go into a "Dexter Gordon Documentary"; all in all, this makes for a lot of music and entertainment. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert and Rok, Does anybody remember Weapons Of Mass Destruction in Iraq? After you get through that one, I got another one for you. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, this was a play that had been made into a movie, and I had already seen the movie; that's why I was so fascinated by these guys down in the pit, where they were out of sight for the audience, because the audience looked over and past th... |
