| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I saw Eric Alexander with Jimmy Cobb at Smoke in NYC I believe it was 10 - 11 years ago. I have a half dozen CDs from Alexander and they are all good. A great tenor. Bob Berg as well as Eric Alexander have been mentioned many times her... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ECM has different branches or streams. It’s quite possible to enjoy one branch and not another... You have just defined my experience with ECM | |
| Jazz for aficionados I thought "dull mood music" pretty clear. But I can add more adjectives. Boring, sleep inducing, uninspired "guitar twiddling" background music for calls on hold, elevator music, dentist office music. Here is an example. It may not be an ECM ses... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Paul Motian's debut album as a leader was with ECM and all of his ECM sessions, as well as Kenny Wheeler's I have and I like them. I thought I made it clear what type of the music on ECM I do not like but I guess not. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Musical taste is a subjective subject. Music affects us all differently and in a very personal way. I would not say that I am deeply knowledgeable on jazz when discussing the nature of the "actual music" but I understand it layman terms. The pers... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim What are your thoughts on Tina Brooks as a tenor sax player? Tina Brooks was a great tenor and also a very good composer. Its too bad he died so young. I have all 5 of his Blue Note albums as a leader on CDs. He played tenor on Fr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Listening to Art Blakey And The Jazz Messengers, First Flight To Tokyo: The Lost 1961 Recordings. Excellent! Excellent may be an understatement. Blakey and his band hit Japan like one of the countries yearly typhoons and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Pretty bold comment that Rollins was a better improviser than was Coltrane. From my vantage point to deem one better than the other is a bit of an apples/oranges issue I believe it has been the 4 plus weeks of reading about all of th... |
