| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I've always liked the "Voodoo music", just as much as I liked "Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White". (No one could have been in taller cotton) And I put as much religious connotation on Voodoo music as I put on "Cherry Pink & Apple Blos... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, this time it's about the evolution of music from Africa since the time of slavery, and how it's represented in this hemisphere; that would also include a comparison of evolution in the reverse direction, meaning from here to Africa. It's real... | |
| Jazz for aficionados While the music in Africa, which was the point of origination, evolved; the music in Brazil, in Bahia for example, could be the same as when it left the continent of Africa hundreds of years ago. I find the Afro Brazilian music more pleasing to my... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, you're definitely into the swing of things, this is history by ear and nothing else. This music came from Africa with the slaves, and was suppressed, that's why we didn't hear it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EJUWRThg-c Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, they came from Africa, what happened to the music? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's the music from Nawlins, it's the same as the music in Haiti or Brazil. It came to this hemisphere with the slaves, and survived all of those centuries "unchanged"; that's what I call a history without a history book. http://www.youtube.com/... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, and Frogman, with your help I would like to take a very interesting historical journey; we'll do it "audibly". I want to trace African music from slavery to the present, beginning with music from Brazil.Baden Powell is an artist who was the f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Frogman; do either of you know if there were ever any night clubs with that kind of ambiance, or were those just movie sets. I've been around, but never to a night club with that kind of setting; maybe they were just in New York, and before m... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very wise decision Frogman. | |
| '80s vinyl sound like CDs? Jcharvet, my experience almost duplicates yours. I have the same identical records in some cases where I replaced the record in the 80's, that I originally purchased in 1970, and the 80's record was far superior.In regard to the CD's there was no ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Unfortunately everything I had by Frank Wess was on LP, and who knows where that went; but I found this, and I thought I would share it with you and Rok, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=703LlU1pwX4Bobby McFerrin made me feel like I was in church in... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That's so sad. He's very well represented in my collection, although mostly flute. I'll play what I have tonight in tribute to Frank Wess. The one's who are most special to my concept of jazz seem to be leaving. He will be missed. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman to the rescue! I had to look at Bobby and Bags for a third time in order to confirm Frogman's post. Since Bobby is my man, I certainly didn't look at this with any bias; but Bags is the greatest ever, and when you read between the lines, b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Jackson and Hutcherson were twice as nice the second time around. Bags seemed to be saying more with fewer words, especially on "Bags Groove". Did you notice how well coordinated the color scheme on their attire was. "Delilah" on the CD "Skyl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's one with Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSPJ96pRTI0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3T29fsqfz4Enjoy the music. |
