| Jazz for aficionados Rok, your responses are what keeps me going. We gained some people who might have been from the other side of the world because they didn't speak English too well. People who were already on this forum would have agreed with Frogman, and Learsfool... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, here are some blues with a different twist; this is where two great rivers meet, the Ganges and the Mississippi, down in a different kind of delta.Ry Cooder and Vishwa Mohan Bhatt join to bring us double delta blues, from Mississippi to Calcu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Normally someone else would have responded to your post because we had more people responding; that's related to the not so clear "all threads seem to be coming up short", meaning that there seems to be fewer people responding on other threads as ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "The least fatiguing "; Why does she affect me in that same fashion? It's because she plays the music and not the notes, she plays the music in between the notes. An example of that is on "Mack The Knife"; I've heard this song a zillion times, but... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, when I don't respond to your post, it's because I don't have anything to say, good or bad, I'm not inspired; not because I didn't look and listen.I don't know how many times you've submitted Oscar Peterson and I didn't respond. This clip is g... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, would you like a CD with Miles Davis, Kenny Dorham, Dizzy Gillespie, Red Rodney, Walter Bishop, Al Haig, John Lewis, Thelonious Monk, Ray Brown, Kenny Clark, Max Roach, and I done got tired of typing names; that's "Verve 314-527-452-2 Charlie... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, I care more about music than I do holding a grudge; if you like, we can consider you our reference classical consultant. Since my hands are full with this thread, I don't have time to visit others.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Bird's Best Bop" is a must have CD; it contains cuts from the LP's I bought way back when I first started collecting records. The sidemen on each cut read like a who's who of jazz. It's been said that Bird's fingers moved so fast that you co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was immersed in ancient Tibet when I got this album; the books I was reading must have been a hundred years old, that made it really come to life. These words are all about Tibetan beliefs and their kind of Buddhism. https://www.youtube.com/watc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have an LP by Billy Bang titled "The Fire Within" that was inspired by books written by Carlos Casteneda. These were some really weird books that were supposed to be true; I found them very entertaining, but hardly believable. That sets you up f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like the second "Song For My Father" but I didn't like the first one; it had nothing to do with the music, but it was taken too far away from the original; that's my "idiosyncrasy"; singers should write their own lyrics or just go "scat" crazy a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I never realized those jazz musicians we admire, could not have made a living without Europe and Japan. I knew about them going over there to escape racism here, but after that was no longer a major problem, I didn't realize they could not ma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Today I went back, way back, so far back that I didn't even know what jazz was; but I knew I liked the music whatever name they gave it. I went all the back to "King Pleasure". I can't even remember where I heard his music, it's for sure I didn't ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "The Great Lakes Suites"; that sounds so majestic, who could resist? "Free / Avant Garde school of jazz"; I always fell for that, I have two stacks of records, half of which fall in that category, they are all destined for removal. I even went to ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I don't have that Roland Kirk, but I'll have to get it. Fortunately I've got almost everything by Mingus, and I never get tired of listening, his music has weathered the times.Rahsaan is one of a kind; there have been none before him, and the... |
