| Jazz for aficionados As for Buddy Rich there are hundreds of recordings he appears on where you are not "aware he’s even there". The bulk of Buddy’s short - medium - long drum solo’s are live to please an audience who are screaming for a solo. Buddy is one of the grea... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I know many "new jazz" musicians who are good - very good - excellent. There are just not that many of them today as there was pre 1970.I know this because my Jazz CD collection is comprised of approximately 75% pre 1970 and 25% 1970 to the presen... | |

| Jazz for aficionados mary jo, Thanks for posting the Jan Garbarek links.It was nice to wake up today, get a cup of coffee, open up the laptop and listen to those two wonderful songs. Brilliant paying by the band as a whole and Garbarek is, for lack of a better descrip... | |
