| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, I'm dying to hear your comments on Willie Ruff and Dwike Mitchell; especially the French horn part.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Nica liked to take pictures when her subjects were sound asleep, and they slept wherever they dozed off; the couch, a chair, even the floor. This was after a late night gig, and her pad was where they came to enjoy the camaraderie of other mu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, this is the best compilation I've ever acquired, although I got a headache from reading about it; consequently, I'm doing more listening and less reading.On CD 2, Kenny Dorham's "Afrodesia" was new to me. He failed to get the recognition he d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you're right in regard to musicians earning a good living, even those who aren't famous but work steady locally; while those with self destructive traits can't help themselves and become poverty stricken.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados First, let me apologize for misspelling "Learsfool", some days I misspell my own name.Rok, my appreciation for these jams on "The 100 Best Tunes Of The 1950's" has grown tenfold since I first heard them. Our discussions about the very musicians we... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Leerfool, and Frogman, did you overlook the post on Stan Kenton; could you comment on the special brass horns especially, and his music in general. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, this is not an intellectual course in jazz. To make a long story short, in regard to many musician's music who play what's called jazz, "ain't got none, and don't wont none"Enjoy the music. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as always, I appreciate your comments. All music is subjective, and jazz is more subjective than most genres of music. I approach music from a purely subjective point of view; while I read history, I listen to music; consequently, when wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, here is a musician we haven't covered, "Johnny Lytle".Life and career[edit]Lytle grew up in Springfield, Ohio in a family of music, the son of a trumpeter father and an organist mother. He began playing the drums and piano at an early age. Be... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Brazil 77 was released in 71, no wonder it sounds so close to Brazil 66; whatever, Brazil doesn't get any better than that.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's a funny thing Rok, just before I read your post I was listening to jazz on a didgeridoo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DidgeridooToo bad I couldn't find it on "you tube", Australia's not far from Papua New Guinea; I'll have to find what they ja... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When an artist is popular and makes a good living, he can't be playing jazz, his music must have a qualifier; like "soul Jazz".Grover Washington was popular, and his music was "jazz" without any qualifier. All jazz musicians in the past have given... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Gypsy Jazz"! Just when I thought I had heard it all, Acman3, you come up with something new; I like it.Enjoy the music. |
