| Jazz for aficionados As you can see, my posts are out of sequence in regard to miles and miles of Miles before my odometer runs out.Rok, I'm switching between "Cecile" and those African cuts on "you tube". While Cecile is better without pictures, those African cuts ca... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Miles and miles of Miles is enough Miles; I'm going back to Cecile McLorin Salvant before my odometer runs out.While I can switch the sound to the big rig, which gives me superior sound without picture; in Salvant's case, that works to her advanta... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, without a doubt that's my favorite album cover. I'm sure it was taken during the best time in Miles life, he was "insanely" in love with the woman on the cover.That was when Miles was going into an "angular" approach to his music; this wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazz is all about eliciting emotions. I first heard "Somethin Else" in 1959, and played it over many times. Today, 5 October 14, that same album is affecting me more emotionally than it did in 59. Based on that fact alone, I pronounce "Somethin El... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There's no doubt I over reacted because I couldn't find words to express my emotions, when you said "standards", which was factually accurate, but they took those standards where they have never been before, and although I hear this every time I p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, while most of the time we agree, I consider your last post as a challenge; title this, "The Musician" vs "The Aficionado".In regard to "modality" or "no modality", KOB lacks the intense emotion of SE; maybe that's the ethereal quality of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, like you say, the gal need a make over; but when dem fat royalty checks start rolling in, dat's completely doable. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, the answer can be found in the fact that "Jazz Aficionados" have never said it was so; I don't think even Miles thought it was so; and we are in 100% agreement about your other comments in regard to those other albums. While a second album wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hew, Cecile McLorin Salvant is fantastic, Rok, she's given your old jazz a reprieve; I had pronounced it dead. As many times as I've heard "I Didn't Know What Time It Was", she made it brand new all over again, and the pianist was great on "Woman ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Before we go on, I would like for you guys to compare the albums "Somethin Else" and KOB in detail, and tell me what you think. They can be found on my 09-30-14 post.Enjoy the music | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I've got that same CD. I envy Ry's working with his son, that's gotta be cool; his son is sitting on the floor next to him on the cover.You ain't had the blues until you git them Ethiopian Blues, that's what this gal got. https://www.youtube.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, BTW, Harold Land, "A Lazy Afternoon" is getting a lot of play; he gives each one of those standards the respect and delicate nuanced treatment they're due.At the same time he's retracing my life, and allowing me to relive the golden momen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I'm going to explain one of "your" problems, and never repeat or comment on it."You can take the horse to the water, but you can't make him drink". This can be applied a thousand and one way's in various situations; however, no one ever r... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Ry Cooder", that names rolls off your tongue like Mississippi Moonshine; I know you done heard about dat. Although his music is all over the place, I choose to focus on the music that sounds like his name, "Ry Cooder". https://www.youtube.com/wat... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The three of us agree on the analogy; "Sgt. Pepper" is da bomb.Enjoy the music. |
