| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I enjoyed all of your posts, even the ones I didn't understand; like Cecil Taylor.Maybe I'm wrong, but Rok seemed to want to know what artists made the 70's so different, and that would include all artists associated with fusion and there w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Joe Henderson certainly did not typify the 70's. Miles, "On The Corner" typified the 70's "fusion". In regard to Herbies "Sly", while it was good jazz, it was also "Fusion"; I'm not certain where you're going with "fusion"? https://www.youtube.com... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "What is it you agree about Hancock"? I was into "fusion" at that time, consequently I have no contradictions; Herbie's music at that time was most distinctly "fusion". Are you saying you liked some fusion, but didn't like other "fusion"?Enjo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In my last post, the question was posed, "Would you like to lead us through the 70's"? I'm still waiting for a definitive answer. Your first sentence seems to say "Yes". Now I will respond to your post as our new leader in this 70's decade.The "be... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok I'm jealous because I never owned a "Nehru Jacket", but that was more into the 60's; I was a turtleneck pendent kind of guy myself. If I could find those bright yellow double knitted bell bottoms with the four inch cuffs, we could do a seance ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No, we haven't even scratched the surface; that's because only the two of us care to. Rok couldn't care less, Alex doesn't know, Acman post's a sentence every now and then; just who are you going to debate? We can go as deep into the 70's as you l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now we can go into the eighties: Pat Metheney, George Adams, Stanley Jordan, Bobby McFerrin, David Sanborn, John Scofield, plus the Marsalis Brothers are some of the names that came into prominence during that decade.I said Wynton Marsalis was the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I checked those names and cuts on 'you tube'; of course I had Herbie's album, I was into fusion at the time. I'll bet Rok had it as well, "Fusion" was a good idea at the time. I found some bright yellow, bell bottomed, double knit slacks ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, Rok shoots from the hip, but since he had hip surgery, his aim ain't too good. Herbie Mann is one of the all time greats, and I feel quite fortunate to have seen him live.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados When I heard "Rain Dance" from the album Sextant, I thought it was the most unusual piece of music I had ever heard, it blew me away; even the album cover was unique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtX2kQYlAOkWeather Report "I Sing The Body Elect... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Here are two more Gato's I like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjV4LqHHUMU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i4dLVaidFMEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, now that I'm in a 70's kind of groove, I realize how jazz evolved into a "mellower" kind of music. Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane, and Lonnie Liston Smith expressed this groove quite eloquently, here's Alice. https://www.youtube.com/watc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, it didn't take long to wear that first LP out and I had to buy another one, keep it going.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, go to preview first before you submit your post; they come up with multiple choices. |
