| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm beginning to like this "old" music, it's familiar, and it harkens back to a better time. The "boogie woogie" was the music of my childhood, and I recall music clips of the "jitterbug"; that's what "Jumpin At The Woodside" brings to mind. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Lou Donaldson" is a musician I liked before I even knew definitively what jazz was. "Blues Walk" was his first tune that captured my attention, that was followed by "Peck Time". While my tastes in music have evolved considerably since then, I sti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I thought those bell ringers were beautiful. My son played sax when he was a few years younger than the bell ringers, I went to every concert and loved it. I like to see young people perform.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "SolDo Meio Dia" is an album I acquired after watching a Brazilian film festival that included capoeira, which always includes the berimbau; that's the instrument Nana plays. This album is quite beautiful at times, boring at others.It's like windi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I completely forgot he played with Mingus, that say's it all; especially when Mingus brought out the best in whoever played with him, and he selected only the best. Here's "Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting", with Handy on alto. http://www.youtu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados John Handy is an artist I don't think we've mentioned. Consistency is not his dominant trait; I'm not referring to whether or not he was good this time and bad the next, but his choice of what music to play seemed to be all over the map. Here are ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As much as I liked this by Dave and Joe Morrello, Tito took ten and left them in the dust; that rhythm is ripping like nothing I've heard before.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, as much as I like Dee Dee, I don't like the way she treats the standards; while I admire her ability to scat, she does it too much on the standards. Now here's a tune where it's very appropriate; as a matter of fact, I like everything she doe... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, that should set the Rok a rockin; I know I certainly liked it.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, what do you think of this, it's from "Shadowfax" "Dreams of Children" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9CLBGBuOhUEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, although I hate to go from "jazz" to other issues, this time I must. While I like gospel, that CD "Say Amen Somebody", and my fond memories of what St. Louis was like at that time, the demise of St. Louis, ain't about "The Lord", it's about g... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, she's from St. Louis. Although she was born in Mississippi, St. Louis is where she became famous, and her star is on the St. Louis walk of fame. I recall seeing the video on PBS with her and Thomas Dorsey; that was when St. Louis was an entir... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's something for those who want gospel in their jazz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZzN3HZXHC4Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is one of the most beautiful albums ever made; Bill Evans, and Toots Thielman "Affinity". Toots said this is his best work, and as many fantastic works as he has produced, that's saying a lot. Here's my favorite cut on that fantastic album, "... |
