| Jazz for aficionados frog, I have that Morello LP. But it is not yet unpacked from a move nearly a year ago. Maybe now I'll have the energy to finish unboxing!Thanx to all for the good wishes. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, I’m not pouting, just offline a few days for something more important. ;^) I don’t post as regularly as many of you anyway so not likely noticed.I March they found a couple of problems with the ole ticker. But with the pandemic underway by t... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Good news for Monk fans --https://www.npr.org/2020/06/19/880564012/a-previously-unreleased-thelonious-monk-concert-is-coming-n...You can never have too much Monk. He may have repeated his repertoire, but in true jazz fashion each playing was diff... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, can you talk about playing ahead of and behind the beat as I ask above? Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados alex, why should taste in music be any different from other experiences in life? Fortunately we males are not all attracted to the same characteristics in women. Individually we favor different foods. Art and literature are varied and each type... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, your comments about time just showed again how much I don't understand in music. I've heard of musicians playing ahead of or behind the beat. Intellectually that makes sense, but I can't say I can identify it when it happens.Sometimes I'm ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados alex, sorry for the delay in replying to your question of the state of jazz in the US when I was growing up. First, three qualifiers: I don't pretend to have expertise on this so it is strictly my perspective; second I grew up located between Det... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks o10, I appreciate the insight. While I've read a couple of bios and watched a few videos on him, I never came away feeling I learned much about the real person. It seemed he was always maintaining that veneer as you said. | |

| Jazz for aficionados o10, of course I didn't mean frustrating at that time. How could you have known?I was asking about your feelings after you were older and became a burgeoning "jazz aficionado"? To realize you knew some of the same people and had many of the same... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, so was Miles about 15 years older than you? You've shared a few stories about common experiences growing up. But it must have been frustrating to never meet the man, given your love of his music and so much from that time.On a different tra... | |
| Jazz for aficionados alex, from a quick listen (not all the way through) I liked it, the Middle Eastern flavor is interesting. But then I often enjoy something out of the ordinary of my normal listening.o10, I read that Miles recorded on the spot while watching the f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman and o10, those were some strong choices for these troubled and unjust times.o10, you suggested the ’70s and jazz continued undergoing major changes with a reduction in popularity, at least partially due to the dominance of rock. And so fusio... | |
