| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, here's nice clip of Valery and big band; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gHgrMU_IjoEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Zephyr, maybe it's time for some "political truth" on this forum. While I've done my best to sidestep controversy, when it gets totally out of alignment, somebody has to straighten it out; carry on.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you seem to have a very faulty memory when it comes to race and the south in the 50's. Do you remember what happened to Emmett Till for "Reckless eyeballing" in Money, MS when he was 14? While you're learning about Mingus's music, you have ve... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, both of those questions are deferred to Frogman, because I thought the guy was a gal, and I never heard of a coach at a concert; this ain't basketball, that let's you know how much I know.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Juilliard is giving a concert titled "Lightning, Thunder and Fire" in honor of our impeccable taste on this thread. The Juilliard Jazz Ensembles explore the music of Clifford Brown, Max Roach and Art Blakey. It is hard to overestimate the imp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, they were so complete there was nothing to debate or dispute. I appreciate your efforts in getting us such a thorough disposition on the subject. Although I'm subjectively in the "Mingus camp", a question of this magnitude requires the ob... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I don't know if I've told this story on this thread before, I don't like to repeat, so let me know if I have.I was in a funereal limousine on the way to the cemetery, in Miles hometown, and there had been a long silence until somebody mentioned "M... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, each day I'm being made aware of how many killers I don't have. Besides being prolific, Mingus is one of the most unusual composers. Frogman's opinion would carry the most weight in regard to the question of whether or not Ellington is the mo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, that jazz blues fusion was one of a kind, what a "hodge podge"; it certainly evokes mixed emotions.T- Bone Walker was as much a showman, as he was a blues artist. There no doubt about "Little Walter" being the king of the blues harpist; here... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Stereo Review" is much better when it comes to jazz. They recommended Flip Phillips's "Try a Little Tenderness" album; he's an artist we'll have to peruse. I'll get back to you after I've gone through the magazines I can find. https://www.yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Szabo covers so many different genre's that almost everybody can find something they like by him. "Gypsy Queen" looks interesting and it has a lot of good pictures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7KgUqF-XaEI like his work with Chico Hamilton; ht... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, your post came in right on time, I was in the mood for some "cool jazz" when I heard Thad Jones and Mel Lewis; yes, all you musicians and the music you make is worthy of thanks, and I appreciate it every day.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, what's most amazing about these "old killers" are the new things I'm discovering from them. When I bought them ages ago, I simply listened, enjoyed the music without going into the "sidemen" who made it happen. Now that I'm more aware of how ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You can't win em all; although Bags and Trane is a killer, I must have bought it when it came out, and you finally came up with a Mingus I could live without, but that goes for almost all of our favorite artists.You going in one direction, and me ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I said it once and I'll say it again, "There was a jazz explosion in the late 50's, early 60's"; every time I think I've got all the killers from that time, somebody comes up with a killer I don't have. This "After Hours" ranks with the best I've ... |
