| Jazz for aficionados Cuba is probably the only country whose people, history and music are inextricably interwoven. I'll begin Cuba's history and music with "Afro Cuban All Stars", a popular Cuban CD that displays the fascinating music of this country, that's derived ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you are as right as rain in a drought; the "soundtrack" was not made for me "pontificating" or whatever in my listening room, it was made for the movie. What makes an artist an important artist? I can't answer that one, we'll have to ask Frog... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you're absolutely correct in regard to the Cuban thing. In regard to my likes and dislikes, I put them aside when I suggested going to the 30's and 40's.The computer enables me to take to take a more "pedagogical approach" through Wikiped... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, here's one you might like; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSkqfm73HxQEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Since "that's not exactly a fair comparison", is too loose to state anything specific, the statement needs clarification. The "soundtrack" is as shallow as a sidewalk puddle compared to "Brazil" on the LP, and that's what I meant.Enjoy th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's an interesting artist, "Lila Downs Sanchez". She was born September 9 of 1968 in Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, Mexico. She is the daughter of Anita Sanchez, a Mixtec cabaret singer and Allen Downs, a British-American professor of art and cinematographe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman and Rok; this thread is most enjoyable when the three of us get on one time subject, and stick to it, as opposed to jumping from one thing to another. For example; Velaida Snow has been mentioned several times, and compared with "Pops"; wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I have that album on LP, "Stone Flower". I knew I had heard it, but I didn't know from where until now; that's not exactly a fair comparison.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, although I've heard the name, she's not in my collection. As fantastic a pianist as she was, she didn't play my kind of jazz, but, she could have if she wanted to. She was primarily an entertainer, and they had to display "showmanship" for th... | |
| Question about replacing 12AU7 tubes. Brf, mine too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that clarinet solo is so beautiful, but short, that I repeated it several times in order to fully appreciate it.In Regard to "Offering", without a doubt it wouldn't be to my taste, or Rok's. Normally I wouldn't take the liberty of speakin... | |
| Question about replacing 12AU7 tubes. All ways's replace in matched pairs. I get NOS RCA from Brent Jesse, he has a good reputation with me and others on this forum. Never get STOCK 12AU7's, they don't last as long or sound as good. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I went back to Valaida Snow and found some real good entertainment; singing and dancing from the 40's, when life was a lot simpler. This was a time when the working man could find a job, all he had to do was get to Chicago or Detroit, and it ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Ceora is also one of my favorites by Lee, as well as anything with him and Pepper Adams. That deep baritone sax really compliments his trumpet.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I really appreciate that rundown on your exposure to Previn. I'm going to give everything you mentioned a serious listen and get back to you.Enjoy the music. |
