| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, no one could have made a better comparison. I like both of them for the reasons you gave. When I was a child, one of mothers cousins who became moderately wealthy, figured that since she had the money, she should acquire the image of a "c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Kathleen Battle sure is pretty, I'd rather look at her than hear her sing; but that's the "subjective" opinion of a jazz aficionado. You just can not have Christmas without Mahalia Jackson's "Silent Night"; she convey's the religious aspect of Chr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, before I could only compare the different versions of a tune, but now that we have you to give us a new perspective from a "nuts and bolts" point of view; maybe you could compare these two versions of "My Favorite Things".I know you're ti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Smitten is putting it mildly; she's my dream jazz date, I can just picture us on the set, "Sssh, just listen to the music Orpheus".Here are two of "Satchmo's" three wishes; "That I go back to the world and see the fans, and play for them again"...... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nica's story is the most fascinating jazz story I've ever encountered and she never wrote a tune or played an instrument; she was even too busy living her story to write about it. Since all I had to go by were the slanderous rumors, I believed the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of photos in Nica's book, can you believe Lee Morgan was a giant among giants at that young age. In the compilation "The 100 best tunes of the 50's", he appears as a sideman on: Moanin, Blue Train, The Sermon; plus lead on "I Remember Cli... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I just realized that Christmas music is strictly traditional with me, it must connect to childhood memories, or winter Christmas scenes. Jazz interpretations of old traditional Christmas songs are fine, but the same songs still remains. As I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I looked and listened to kathreen Battle and Fredrica Von Stade; they made me long for the magabuck system I don't have in order to hear everything, or to have been there in the flesh. Jessye Norman was too operatic, but maybe it's just too e... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, it wont be long before Mrs. Orpheus will be dragging out her Christmas collection, and it will consist of all the Carols we sang as kids; that's when I stuff my ears, smile and pretend I'm listening; but until that time, I gonna Bop. http://w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When I was a child, my aunt had a big diamond in her ring that sparkled all the colors of the rainbow as you turned it under a bright light. Tired of me holding her finger and turning it, she took the ring off when she came home from work.I never ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Rok, there is no way under the Sun that I'll comment on that page.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, for a minute I actually thought that was Trane, Elvin Jones really made it sound convincing; he was with Trane when I saw them both. I'll have to get that. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you really know how to make a guy work; first, out of all the people in that book, you pick somebody that I've never heard of, and ask me if he's related to somebody else that I've never heard of. The Ali Jackson in the book, was "senior" whi... |
