| Jazz for aficionados Rok, it's time to get back on the tracks in pursuit of "our jazz"; this is between 1950 and 1970. While "Nica" didn't write or talk much, she left us a book of photographs; that's our reference book. She absorbed jazz cerebrally, that's the only w... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, Harold Land has one of the most beautiful tones of any sax man; check him out on "A Lazy Afternoon"I use the word "timbre" when fine tuning the tone. For example; the three way custom speakers of mine utilize a "Heil AMT tweeter", and I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, "pointless" was a bad choice of words; however, since I have no intention of becoming a classical musician, jazz musician, or any other kind of musician, this in depth discussion eludes me, plus we're never going to reach a "consensus"; m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Has anyone considered how pointless this debate is? To begin with we all hear differently. If you go back to that analogy I made about the radio stations, we can only receive the music our minds are tuned to receive, at the time it's tuned to rece... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Things are getting more complicated by the minute. I recently bought a CD, "Kalenia" by Oran Etkin, he's a new musician whose music falls under the classification of jazz. I like this CD, but some may not consider it to be jazz, including Wynton M... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I must admit, that never practicing on the first post was misleading.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados The soloing on Moanin' by Morgan and Timmons is just awesome! Those are the details we tend to forget. Morgan is one of my favorite trumpet players. I love the way he bends notes. My next favorite was Blues Walk.On most of my records, it's the agg... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, have you thought about starting a new thread? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, whether we agree or disagree, it will not affect your being second in command.From the time we began to hear, our minds began the process in regard to what kind of music we would like. If you lived in the rural south, there's a good possi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, when I heard "South Side Soul", I was immediately transported back to another time and place; 63rd and Cottage Grove in the late 50's. That's when you could see Dinah Washington, or Ahmad Jamal going to or coming from the Pershing Lounge, it... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Frogman is referring to the summer that my friend the professional musician lived in my apartment. He never practiced or expressed the desire to practice, not only that, but an organ would not have fitted in my apartment. (he played organ sin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados We're going round and round like a dog chasing his tail in regard to new music VS old music, and new musicians VS old musicians. The reasons for this have absolutely nothing to do with the music or musicians; I'll explain.The primary reasons are e... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, although that post was short, it communicated very well; I do remember Chauncy Gardner. However, I believe you are denying us your vast storehouse of knowledge.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I put "Random Abstract" by Branford into the player, and that's just how it sounded, both random and abstract, and that also describes my musical day so far, I'm sure tomorrow will be better.Enjoy the music. |
