| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Newbee, thanks for the help. I heard Miles mention "Modal jazz" way back then, and I didn't know what he was talking about and I still don't.Right now, I am hoping someone can "hip me" to the best "West Coast Jazz" available on CD. I also saw a si... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. I hate to be "misunderstood", and that is exactly what is occurring here.There was good Jazz before 1957, there was good Jazz after 1967, there will be good Jazz after today. If you can imagine a "Parabola", keep that shape in your mind. Imagine "... | |
| Classical Music: A How-To Guide for Beginners newbee, why don't you start a thread on bluegrass. I saw a movie comedy on TV that mentioned the Foggy Mountain Boys. It was funny as hell and I liked the music which was "Bluegrass". | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Foster_9, it is amazing how "Sympatico" we are, and I would also like to mention how other types of music have come and gone, but "Hard Bop" is still boss. | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Foster_9, Horace Silver has been one of my favorites since "Senior Blues" on LP "Six Pieces of Silver"; however, I am not sure of what you are referring to? | |

| Classical Music: A How-To Guide for Beginners I just left a movie, "Shutter Island" with Leonardo Dicaprio that had some interesting classical music. Maybe you know what it is? | |

| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. There is nothing like a good debate to straighten things out."Bird" (Charles Parker), founded "Be Bop" and Miles Davis is given credit for "Hard Bop", which evolved from "Be Bop".While I loved every "Hard Bop" musician, the music they made was not... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Definition; according to me: "Dixie Land" is "Dixie Land", leave the "Jazz" out. "Rag Time" is "Rag Time", leave the "Jazz" out. "Hard Bop" is not a "genera of jazz", it is a description of the jazz being played, or one LP. Example: Charlie Parker... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Foster_9, I agree with your 2 cents worth so much that I am going to give you a dime and lay a "heavy jam on ya"."The Finest of Oscar Pettiford", based on recordings made in 1955 by Oscar Pettiford; or O.P. as Dizzy and friends called him.

| When will rap music be less mainstream? Tpreaves, I rarely allow other people to speak for me, but you said it all, there is nothing I can add. | |
| Wynton - The Only Person in Jazz Who Matters? When Wynton was a side man with Art Blakey and the Messengers, I thought he was one of the greatest trumpet players ever. While he can still blow the trumpet, his music is "out to lunch", he should forever remain a "side man". | |
