| Jazz for aficionados Since we got sidetracked, no one commented on Hank Crawford, or Bobby Hutcherson.Onhwy61, I would like for you to join us. We will all respect your OPINIONS and posts. As Rok stated, that one word caused our trollys to jump the track; I'm sure tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, did you miss "Bobby Hutcherson"? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Onhwy61"The most beautiful yet sad and haunting jazz compositions that I have ever heard. This was written by Billy Strayhorn for Ellington's band and was his last composition. He was dying from cancer and finished it while in the hospital. Johnny... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Bobby Hutcherson is an artist I don't think we touched on. In regard to his recognition as a top vibraphonist, his biggest problem has been "Milt Jackson". While many others compare everyone to the "jazz giants", I listen long and deep to each ind... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Onhwy61, you're only making your situation worse, and I'm not going to try and explain how or why; the Frogman seems to be best with words, I'll leave it to him. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Eddie Harris, "A Child Is Born", this is one beautiful tune. That reverberation makes the sound come from far away, and it just knocks me out. I had "reverb" in a 66 Electra 225 that made all the music sound this way; it was like riding in a cave.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados onhwy61, although it's possible that Getz version sounded better, there's no way he could embody the song better than Johnny Hodges. If that sounds like a contradiction, I leave it to Frogmans post for elaboration.Enjoy the music. | |

| Jazz for aficionados "Blood Count" was as you described it. Johnny Hodges was "Mr. Alto Sax" before Bird. This music prompted me to go through the vaults; I found a treasure of Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Johnny Hodges and others, for my listening pleasure, that ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hank Crawford is a tenor sax man you can instantly recognize, that's because his sound is so uniquely different from all the other tenor sax men; they also like his unique and pleasing sound. The first time I heard him, thoughts of Ray Charles cam... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, while I liked each individual musician ( I listened to the complete set), I didn't care for the music; maybe I've gotten too old for new music. I'd like the Frogman's take on it.Enjoy the music. | |
| World's Greatest Tenors There's nothing I hate worse than getting into the middle of other people's conversation; but this time I'm compelled and can not resist my compulsion.Since we're acquainted, I do so with the greatest respect for the honorable Frogman, and Charles... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, I notice Japanese seem to prefer the strictly classic jazz script. I only like Nawlins jazz live, or in a movie, which means I liked this; I've always wanted to dance the second line. I liked the tuba dude, that jam was cookin.Enjoy the mu... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Frogman! This is the first time I've had to correct you on anything, and I wouldn't now; but, "Another fascinating account is that Bird died in his hospital bed while watching the Dorsey Brother's TV show." Where did you get that from?- Parker die... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Playing for change.....SONGS AROUND THE WORLD, was quite impressive, and I didn't find the DVD at all distracting; as a matter of fact I enjoyed it, that's the only way I'd want the music. I always enjoy children performing, never missed a concert... |
