| Jazz for aficionados Rok, while you were defending our integrity, I was reading about "Mary Lou Williams"; she was a very impressive lady. I'll get back to you after I've finished. You can find her picture in Nica's book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X4r5ZioIBwEnj... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although Frogman is no longer with us, I feel compelled to find some new high quality jazz. This came to me with high recommendations and I bought it; "Kalenia" by Oran Etkin. Atman said my reason for not preferring new jazz is a generational thin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, and Acman; try this one for size, and add the category. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibLAar4BafEEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, if absolutely nothing was labeled, we would discover that we like a lot of things we're not supposed to like.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Boy, What a Night" is a perfect example of what I'm talking about in regard to thinking that you have all the most important jazz by any given musician. I don't have that, nor do I have "Barry Harris" (he was a good friend of Nica's) that I'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, is this "smooth jazz" or 3rd stream? I have this CD "Rush Hour" and the entire CD contains good music, and makes for smooth relaxed listening. There are so many "sub" genres for jazz; what would you call this one? https://www.youtube.com/wa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I hate to say it, but Ramonron has made me aware of something; I like "New Age" better than I like "New Jazz". As a matter of fact here's some more "New Age" that I like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg4oOZN0S70&list=PLDDyPnLSXvQMxfSHY... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, would you call "The Swingle Singers" third stream? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's a vocal version of "Nica's Dream"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwvuGJPQBNw | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, on Brad Mehldau; too moody and introspective, nice music but "moody and introspective" is not my cup of tea presently. This is not a case of "New" vs "Old", even if it was by an old artist like Miles for example, I still wouldn't like it. P... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I agree on the singers; while I like the MJQ in general, on occasion they have gotten too moody and introspective, those are the LP's that didn't get turned into CD's.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Nica's Dream" composed by Horace Silver is my favorite tune, and this "messenger's" version is my favorite; but first, let me tell you a little bit about "Nica".Kathleen Annie Pannonica de Koenigswarter was a British-born jazz patroness and write... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's an interesting group that combines jazz and classical music; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxdAHh8ir3gOne of my favorites; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crCxefHCLJAEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, when you heard Pee Wee Marquette on a record, you knew to get ready for some of the best jazz you had ever heard, and maybe that was the best "Jazz Messenger" group ever.One can never have too many "Dat Dare's" or "Nica's Dreams"; now we know... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I call this "Bobby Timmons" jazz, it's just that unique; relaxed, soothing, and uncomplicated, but yet it reaches the depths of one's soul."Moanin" needs no words, the music communicates that low as you can go feeling, and there is nothing le... |
