| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm a Mingus fan from way back, but I never bothered with anyone else's interpretation of Mingus; now I see that was a mistake, because under the direction of "Sue Mingus", this has to be fantastic. The CD is on order.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, here again we agree on "Trane". When I saw him live, he even lost McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones. Miles said that Trane played for Trane on live sets; while that was true, talk about the pot calling the kettle black; when I saw Miles I didn'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here is my favorite cut from "Sonny's Crib". The artists are: Donald Byrd, trumpet; Curtis Fuller, trombone; John Coltrane, tenor sax; Sonny Clark, piano; Paul Chambers, bass; Art Taylor, drums.I believe all of these artists have photographs, and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In my opinion "Sonny's Crib" is one of the best albums of all time, what more can I say.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, even Sonny Clark Knew about voodoo; but on a more serious note, "Deep In A Dream" is my favorite cut on that CD."Ike Quebec respects the beauty inherent in the song, at the same time investing it with his own personality. This perfect balance... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks Frogman, those nightclubs were as incredible as the movie sets; so they did exist. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that essay corroborates the most important point, "I told yall to stop beatin them damn drums", but don't tell Rok. Yes, that was a very important and serious essay, thanks loads for the information.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I just got a book every jazz aficionado should have, it has photos of all the musicians we've discussed, and then some. This book includes the intimate thoughts and wishes of all the greats.The title of this book is "Three Wishes"; compiled a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I was in Haiti about 3 years after this movie was made, and Haiti was very much like the movie, "weird beyond belief". In regard to the voodoo music, it's like the air they breath; we were riding up a mountain trail on a half ass (that's ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, this is the real deal all the way live, "makes me want to get up and boogie". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErZnMmYJlE8Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, this is from the movie, compare it to Voodoo around the world, including New Orleans to this on "You tube", and notice the similarities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js0CAjUXv58 Canonical story[edit]Eurydice was the wife of Orpheus, who... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, this has nothing to do with jazz, this is exclusively about music from Africa. We can conclude that the only surviving music from Africa in this country was "Voodoo music", and the only reason it survived is because it was so secretive.I've h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nothing is being merged, we are talking about the origination of slaves and their music, this has absolutely nothing to do with the different races who came before or after. At this juncture, before we get back to our regularly scheduled programmi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, if this drum nonsense is "nonsense", explain why it was retained everywhere slaves were imported except here. Remember, all arguments must be supported "audibly".Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I definitely agree on the beginning, and although that music came from Africa, it may longer exist in Africa in it's truest form, but only in Brazil. |
