| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I didn't give that total performance a listen the first time. Although they started off with "stereotypical jazz", after that, they went into some really fine music. Since what they played in the beginning was to warm up the audience, even th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No Rok, I didn't like it. While I'm a big fan of each individual musician that was in that group, I didn't like the music. That band sounded like "Bird" was leading it, are you sure he wasn't there. The man blowing that horn was not "Yusef lateef"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Marqmike, your appreciation of my musical offering was a reward in itself. For that, here's another offering. It transports me to a special music lovers inner sanctum that's out of this world, where I find peace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNk... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chico Hamilton, who was a West Coast drummer, evolved into one of my favorite musicians. I never thought of him as a drummer, for the same reason I never thought of Mingus as a bassist. They were just very creative musicians.After the West Coast t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No Rok, you wont hear that in a coffee shop. | |
| Jazz for aficionados When this "West Coast" jazz was current, I thought it was slow and "lame", now,some of it sounds quite "hip", possibly because I can appreciate "cerebral" music more. This much West Coast certainly wasn't available at my "mid west" record store wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, the picture of a big burly man struttin around in leotards, put me in stitches, I couldn't stop laughing; and at a time when I needed a good joke. | |
| Jazz for aficionados If I told you I went west, and believed in all my heart that I in fact went west, when after looking at a map, you discovered I went east; I would have told you a forgivable "untruth". Such is the case of one Mr. Art Pepper.After listening to some... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pnmeyer, very well put. Once upon a time, I thought like others in regard to who was the best, now I appreciate the same musicians you like, except I appreciate them more than before.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of Jack Sheldon, here is a little trumpet by him along with a vocal by Linda Lawson. This music sprang from the west coast in that time frame as "West Coast" jazz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA81pRYtEXc | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, even though you're prone to take things out of context, I like you anyway; but if there was one big "Bird", and a lot of little birds imitating big "Bird", that was too many birds. In regard to "Birds" stature, that's unquestionable.Many of t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, it's delight to have you on this thread, not only are you a jazz aficionado, but you're a musician as well. Although I never thought about West Coast from a musical perspective (the softer tone) that's quite accurate. West coast jazz had ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, I have empathy for all human beings, especially musicians, and I hope your friend Mr. John Purcell gets better. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jimmy giuffre opening for jazz on a summers day is my best example of West coast jazz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfLsEH4csQ4 Chico Hamiltons "Topsy" is another good one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fE73sAZxlENow you're an aficionado of W... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, the definition of "West Coast" jazz is very elusive. That's because the same musicians also played East Coast, as well as "No Coast" jazz. It's kind of like "bouillabaise", you have to try a spoonful. No description can be quite appropriate, ... |
