| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Love all things Zorn. Very prolific, and most his stuff is not on streaming so you have to hunt it down and keep up. Very hard in these busy days. I found all but 2 of the total of 32 "Book of Angels" sessions on Spotify. I found all ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I picked up the self titled album when it came out in 1983. Great band. I have every album til Brecker's death. Are you referring to the Brecker Brothers Band or Steps Ahead? Breckers "debut" album was released more then a decade af... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now here is some really good music that you can definitely describe as jazz. The band is called "Steps Ahead". From Wiki The group arose out of spontaneous sessions at Seventh Avenue South, a jazz club in New York City owned by saxophonist Michae... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister This John Zorn CD I bought years ago and had mixed feelings about it and a few other Zorn CDs I purchased. It goes without saying that if you are having mixed feelings (or second thoughts) about an artist, you will stop spending your ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I enjoy DiMeola’s acoustic playing. I saw RTF on the Romantic Warrior tour and much preferred the acoustic portion of the show. Wish I could have seen them early on, with Bill Connors.. Plus 1 Bill Conners. Great guitarist not as rec... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I’m listening to Bill Jennings & Leo Parker, Billy In The Lions Den. Definitely not a good recording, but an easy to listen to album. Great find! I had never heard of this. For more great baritone players check out Ronnie C... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I assume you've heard "Rollin' with Leo"... Plus 1 Other great baritone players that I'm sure you know Ronnie Cuber Caravan - YouTube Pepper Adams 19/11/1957 - Pepper Adams - The Cool Sound of Pepper Adams - YouTube | |
| Jazz for aficionados One of the albums I listened to last night was this Leo Parker session recorded on the Blue Note label in 1961. Not one dud on this album. Leo was a superlative baritone sax player who succumbed to heart failure at just 36 years old. Leo P̲a̲r... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant Al DiMeola I have tickets for Al Di Meola for Friday, October 27. I just saw that he had a heart attack at one of his European performances. I assume he will be taking a sabbatical while he is recovering. I think the date I have tickets... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @ho249 Here's another track where Russell Malone is prominent. The whole album is good. Benny Green is a terrific pianist! Plus 1 Russel Malone on these 2 sessions. Check out the personnel on both! Jimmy Cobb Jazz In The Key Of Blue - YouTu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I drive at night and I love it. Nothing but other trucks/trailers with some cars mixed in. No A hole lost/on phone/speeding/driving to slow idiots to deal with and no traffic. Just me, the music and the road..... Last night I listened... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Upon graduating high school I started working in the construction field in Long Island NY and eventually started a framing business. I was a framing contractor and sub contractor for 30 years. 4 years ago I decided to retire from the con... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk Well, I didn't have a choice at the time. My dad retired while I was about to enter 9th grade and my parents decided to move the family to Guadalajara at that point. You moved around a lot. I was born 60 years ago in Babylon, Long I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister I was fortunate to see Pat Martino live at Birdland NYC about 8 years ago. I am also a big fan of Martino. You have to check out his earlier recording sessions as a guitarist on Willis "Gatortail" Jackson sessions. I have purchased ma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim and the rest of the "JFA crew" the concert was great. It was raining and chilly last night in NYC but once inside the cozy confines of the Village Vanguard surrounded by the ghosts of jazz legends I was HAPPY! Framed photo's on the w... |
