Alex:Most of your posts are new to me.  Both the music and the artists.  Including the two you just posted.  I think it's because of the record labels.  For some reason, most of my music collection is on the 'usual suspect' labels.  Probably becau...

Alex:Sort of like you, all the music I post is for the viewers.  I certainly don't think I will ever post anything that The Frogman or the OP are not aware of.  They already know everything there is to know concerning Jazz.  In fact, they are so b...

I suspect Brazil popular music NOW, is Western style (nuts and bolts) pop music sung in Portuguese. Like the rest of the world.In any event, not enough there for all the fuss. Take away Herbie, and there is even less.I realize Mendes is lite, fun ...

hahahaha I’m on the right thread. This is the thread for great music. I have that CD, with a different cover, I love it. Bluegrass is not  as far from Jazz as you might think. For instance:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRi6yhqmuxUI know you like...

Also, discussion seems to be pretty centered on jazz that's on YT. That's how you share the music, by posting off YT.  I have / own many favorites that are not on YT, so I don't talk about them.  For example after many years of searching, this...

Nascimento:Does not sound Brazilian to me.   A prime example of music flow.  It goes from the West to the undeveloped countries, not the other way round.  I realize you did not present it as such, but, it is a prime example.  Nothing Brazilian (in...

Obviously a lot of Dancing going on which I remember you railing for in the past. Not me.  Pops.   He said, if you can't dance to it, it ain't Jazz.  He was coming from the source, where Jelly Roll said Jazz was 'a way' of playing music.  I too...

Every time I hear that soprano sax, it's like I'm hearing it for the first time. You do realize that is Victor Goines of the JALC Orchestra.Cheers

Today's Listen:Louis Armstrong  --  SATCHMO PLAYS KING OLIVERNot sure why the title says "Plays King Oliver", I'm sure he did not write all, if any, of these  tunes.   Minimal packaging.   Just song list, other side of insert blank.Almost all the ...

Nascimento:Stereo Review talked me into buying his CD titled YAUARETE.  I can't remember ever having played it.   Maybe I will today.   See what all the fuss is about.Cheers
