| Jazz for aficionados Rok, aficionados don't intellectualize the music we call jazz. Before "you tube" we were limited to words, which are a horrible way to communicate music. Now we can communicate with music, it makes statements that words can not be found to express... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Only musicians would notice something like that musical similarity between "Night in Tunisia" and "East of Suez", but not many people other than musicians are familiar with "East of Suez".That was when Miles had something so special, that not even... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I find it hard to believe this is a current album as well as he's playing. I've seen him live many times, good clean living has really paid off; while the other musicians might fraternize after the set, Ahmad was on his way home; that was w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Life is funny sometime, and you guys are living it with me in real time.I said I remembered "East of Suez", not Charlie Ventura, because I don't. Right now I'm exploring "You tube" and what's available for purchase. Are any of you guys familiar wi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's as if someone else, "not me" posted my post. I say that because I'm learning as much about it, as if someone else posted it. As I stated, the title of the song was all that was relevant, I didn't even know it was "Charlie Ventura" playing. Yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The first jazz record I distinctly remember was "Jazz of Two Decades". Although it was a compilation, the cut that stuck in my mind was "East of Suez". At that time, who was playing what was irrelevant. I guess I was in 10th grade then, and I want... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, music convey's emotion, paints pictures, and tells stories, even without words; but not everyone is in tune to the stories it tells, that's why they attempt to tell sad stories with happy music. If that person happens to be a musician, I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, believe it or not, this is the first time I heard the original; that piano does even more than the vocal, it captures "The Blues In The Night" while simultaneously playing "Since I Fell For You", and her vocals convey that hopeless feeling of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, since the CD was sitting on the player when I read your suggestion, it was easy to follow. "Sister Sadie" was as jazzy as Horace Silver intended it to be. That interplay between the sisters and brother was boss.I really liked the scat singing... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "The Jazz Classics", are quite often short, but very profound stories about the age old "male, female" relationship. "Since I Fell For You", is just such a story."Since I Fell for You" is a jazz and pop standard. The blues ballad was composed by B... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, only a true aficionado, and musician would have noticed all of that. Your appreciation of that submission made my day.Enjoy the music. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store When such things existed, I did it so often, their regular customers thought I was one of the employees. After you get acquainted with the employees, they understand; how else can you learn about high end equipment? Who can afford to audition refe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I would rather git whupped with an ugly stick than post a negative response, but since I know you've been waiting for some kind of response, so be it.The music was alright, it was this thing I have about the "jazz classics". The way me, you, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "The many faces of Charlie Haden" is a subject worth exploring, for we also explore the many faces of jazz.Old and New Dreams was a jazz group that was active from 1976 to 1987. The group was composed of tenor saxophone player Dewey Redman (doubli... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Individualistic" is a word that best describes Charlie Haden. Here he is with Don Cherry; listen to that kickin bass, that's Charlie Haden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp5mZxkeV1cI just wanted to point out another one of the many faces of Cha... |
