| Jazz for aficionados I never heard of the Ray Draper Quintet before, but I like them. The tuba as a solo instrument is so unique and different from anything in my collection that I got to get it.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, have you noticed that many of the tunes reviewed on this thread, were also in the compilation? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ornette Coleman's stuff on this compilation is good by any standard, but that's the case with many of the original albums; the tunes selected here, were the only good tunes on some of the albums, consequently, if you have these tunes, but don't ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados leersfool, it's not easy finding good jazz with tuba; but here's "The Buzzard Song" from Miles Porgy And Bess, with a lot of brass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm-c3ng-Pa0&list=PLE0A7C777A4637FC1You can also probably find some tuba on this ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, The 100 Best Jazz Tunes Of The 50's gets a 5 star confirmation from this aficionado. Although I already have 90% of those on the original LP's, I'm ordering it for the 10% I don't have.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, when I said the CD was on order, I just assumed there was a CD; so far no luck. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm glad everyone agrees on me and the history of jazz; while it's true, I don't feel any loss. What I have to account is one persons story and no more.In March 1955, a witness to his death heard a clap of thunder at the moment Charlie Parker pass... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, 90% of those tunes are already in my collection on the original LP. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, after reading your review, I piped it into the big rig. (that's where I couldn't see them) The bass was truly awesome on "Senor Blues", and it sounded like one fantastic pianist as opposed to two, that's just how well they played together. Th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I don't approach jazz from a historical or rational context, I approach it the same way I approach "all" music; from a purely emotional context, either I like it or I don't.While many of Rok's controversial statements may or may not be true, I con... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Amen Rok; I looked in my jazz encyclopedia and read a lot about him that sounded like hype to me. No he's not in my collection, and I haven't considered adding him. Jazz for me began with modern jazz; consequently, my ears don't take kindly to "di... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gene Harris is a musician Rok and I both admire. This is something I found on "you tube" that I liked, and since this is one of Rok's favorite musicians, maybe he'll write his review on it; especially since we all like his reviews. http://www.yout... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm very happy that you are who you are. That word can make one a miserable person, and I will be adding more Gene Harris to my collection. Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Desmond Blue" is one cool tune. Leo Cheers, a jazz DJ in St. Louis, used it for his theme song. When I heard it, around midnight, I knew to look forward to the best jazz on radio.I recall seeing Dave Brubeck at a free concert he gave at "Our Lady... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I hate to get into that "audiophile thingy", but Gene Harris is probably the most subtle and nuanced jazz pianist I can think of, which is why the crazy people pay so much for some of his records, especially with the Three Sounds. You can get... |
