| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 Les Baxter:Did you notice the comments under the clip that compared him to, or said they were reminded of Stravinsky? We all know Stravinsky, don't we? He's that guy that ranks right up there with Mozart!!! Les Baxter is in tall c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pryso Thanks for the correction on the car.`You are right about the Indian drumming. I have seen it and heard it many times on documentaries. Esp the indigenous people of Canada.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting that Mingus, of all people, did not feature the drum in this tune called 'Haitian Fight Song'. Great tune. But after all, it's Mingus, what else could it be.Sorry to be bursting all these cherished bubbles.Cheers | |

| Jazz for aficionados @ShadorneThose are African folks playing western music. Modern day. Modern instruments. Their take on, or contribution to modern day music. I am speaking of this idea that folks in the third world have been drumming for eons. That they ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Third world drumming ranks right up there with Indian Smoke Signals in western movies. Ever notice how they disappeared once westerns became more adult in nature. Cheers | |

| Jazz for aficionados The Frogman: re Rachmaninov ******Unabashedly beautiful melodies and masterful orchestrations.*****A good definition of a lot of movie themes. Which is all the reviewer said.Back in the day, I was interested in buying a Chrysler automobil... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Did not say all movie themes are bad, in fact, most themes from the great movies are wonderful. The ones you posted are excellent examples. A movie theme whets your anticipation for the movie itself. But, this composer is being judged... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sergei Rachmaninoff : A reviewer once said, all this composer's music sounded like movie themes. I have not liked him since I read that comment.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados The more I hear Phil Woods, the more I think he could be the top alto Sax player of all time. I am sure his peers recognized his talent and ability, but I think if he had been African-American, his standing in the public's consciousness would be... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Getz and Legrand:Sounded just like movie theme music to my ear, which is not surprising since Legrand is a movie theme guy and a Jazz 'buff' or 'enthusiast', according to the post. I could almost see the credits rolling during the tune.Never und... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Roland Kirk:Don't remember when I first encountered him, but I do know I thought he was a novelty act. Was I ever wrong. Nice clips.Cheers |
