| Jazz for aficionados Hey frog, that Mingus album is among his in my collection. Do you know about his connections with Joni Mitchell? They had a correspondence over his last year or so, which led to her album in tribute to him - "Mingus".https://www.youtube.com/watch?... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, thanks so much for that link. Mingus is one of my favorite artists and I will watch the entire program. But at 2 hours that will likely be after returning home from a holiday family visit.For anyone interested in Mingus if you've not read h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, forgot to mention I had no idea Sullivan was so versatile and talented. I'd only heard him on trumpet and flugelhorn. Thanks for all those additional links. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wow, stay away for a few hours (I normally only visit once a day) and now so much to comment on. Good show guys!First I must clarify that I don't consider most drum solos to "suck", I merely fail to find them interesting. They don't add anything... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, if I’m the one you had in mind when teasing about the "one single drum solo" that was not boring then I need to correct two points.First, I’m just an average jazz fan, not any sort of authority. Second, the Morello example I promoted is not ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Also, that Miles/Monk story sound familiar. Which album came from that? | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, complying with your "revised" rules -- ;^) -- I offer this. If jazz aficionados of a certain age don't recognize the drum intro then the fist four notes on the piano should do it. And yes, it is pretty spare all the way through.https://www.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Take a break from o10's challenge and read this very nice tribute to an under appreciated jazz guitarist. The quiet ones many not be heard above the roar of the crowd, but what they say may be remembered the longest. Quoted comments were limited... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, yes, frogman explained my confusion. I was thinking of the whole tune, not just the opening stanza. Still I admit my post was not the example I wanted, just because there was so much else going on with the band that Count’s few but well place... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Then there is the most famous (for many) of Miles' groups doing "Blue in Green" -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz_eGZ8U5kY | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well o10, we know Oscar Peterson is out of contention in this game.And while I agree the Timmons selection is great, here is the most "economical" pianist I know of. It seemed like on some tunes you could "Count" his notes on two hands. No matte... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This drum album is not classified as jazz, but I believe it includes a fair bit of improvisation. The amazing thing is all instruments are said to be percussion, no other type.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGUvdqoK6Ak&list=PL2wcKP63Yrr1RYiO... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I agree that most drum solos can be boring. They seem like token efforts to give some spotlight to the drummer. Something I found irritating was local musician concerts (which I otherwise heartily endorse) developed a trend where every musician ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, so many great drummers in jazz, from Blakey to Dejohnette and many, many others. But aside from basic time keeping, for my money Morello was the most lyrical and thus interesting drummer when it came to solos.I may have posted this previousl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10,As many have expressed here, we are sorry for the condition you face. Hopefully when you can sit down to enjoy favorite music, that carries you away to a place where the pain(s) is forgotten.I won't speak against mail order buying, I've never... |
