| Jazz for aficionados I hope it's OK to speak on another subject if it doesn't offend anyone.When I was in the 4th grade, I recall seeing a picture of a tree in a geography book that was so big there was a roadway running through it. I vowed to see those trees one da... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've posted my memories of the Summer of 56 that I spent on the South side of Chicago with my jazz loving cousin many times, highlighting various aspects of that visit. I would like to post another aspect of that visit.I liked to go for a swim in... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mingus is the most unique jazz artist ever that sounded good; all of those tunes were like no one else.I bought his album "Ah Um Mingus" in 60 just for the art work on the cover when I didn't even know who Mingus was at that time; funny thing, I'v... | |

| Jazz for aficionados For a long time, all of us on this thread connected very well; we seemed to like the same jazz, but now I'm the one moving to a different drummer; I don't particularly like "new jazz", and a lot of the "old jazz" being submitted is far too "conser... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gato Barbieri was one of my favorite artists for ages and whether he played jazz or not is moot to me, I still like his music. (some people pigeon hole music and some don't) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlU-TeBdiyw |
