Did I tell yall about seeing Ahmad Jamal at Rick's on North Shore drive in Chicago? My memory ain't what it used to be, or maybe it never was very good, I forget; but at any rate I don't want to tell the same story twice.

Rok, this is just one of the albums I listen to when I wander off the jazz reservation. The St. Louis main Library is a huge building a city block square, and I don't how tall; they have some of the most amazing old books hundreds of years old. I ...

This is what I call "stereotypical jazz", and I can live without it. It was hip 50 years ago, but it's like having roast beef and potatoes one time too many for me; case closed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN9nqXfMxjI&list=PLdhGk7gKuZxZvk7...

Rok, I got my CD out, and it's easy for me to see how "Tender Hearted" is your favorite; it has a subtle "Gospel grace" that came from deep within the heart of the artists. Those musicians are well known and loved in this community; "Tender Hearte...

Is this hot or what, and that wasn't a joke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKsdd8NSr7IIs Eliane Elias hot, or what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcuko4vpqBMEnjoy the music.

Rok, that was a highly relevant question in regard to where the "new jazz" was created. When I was traveling a lot, and going to clubs, the music was different everywhere I went. In none of the places would I consider the new music any better, it ...

Frogman when I saw "Trane" he was playing a "Soprano Sax" and this is what the group looked like. The nice part was the fact that it was in a small club and I was no more than 20 feet away from the group. As I recall "My Favorite Things" was over ...

Frogman, you're the joke; if you had stayed on this thread, which is the only one where you fit, you would be "hip" enough to follow the inside joke without explanation; but you chose to bounce around. Now you're like the "prodigal son" discontent...

Where are you going with this Frogman? If I saw Alvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, and Trane live, it would have been 100% impossible to make that mistake. The statement was an "Oversatement", so exactly where are you going with this? Since you knew it was...

Currently, when you get past those two, from what I've been able to find, "quality music" is not that common in Africa. There seems to be a common thread running through music all over the globe; I attribute this to the PC.Right now I'm exploring ...

Frogman, I don't know whether or not you call "parody" a joke?

How's this for scat singing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Otj5g_Bpq_UEnjoy the music.

I thought this was "Trane", he looks like "Trane" from the side view, and they all sound similar to the group I saw; they sound more like "Trane" live, which is what he sounded like on his later records; musicians play freer live than on records, ...

"Manu Dibango", now there's a name I don't believe I've seen on this forum; he's known for "Soul Makasa". Let us go to "Wikipedia" to find out more about Manu Dibango. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2jYjUiulMQ Dibango was born in Douala, Cameroo...

Rok, people from around the world will agree with you on "The Bright Mississippi", I listened to it all the way through. Here he is all the way live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4frYZXc9tQEnjoy the music.
