| Jazz for aficionados ***** One of the most curious aspects of all this as concerns subjectivity/objectivity and as it relates to the old jazz/new jazz debate is the simple fact that it is the staunch old jazz devotee(s?) who seem to like ONLY old jazz while I don’t t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** I can understand why some need to keep analysis out of the equation and don’t want to be "hampered" by it and want to keep the listening experience as "simple" as possible and not be "challenged" as a listener;*****I don't understand what ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** "Everybody is right" because music is so "subjective". With a stance like that, what is there to argue about?*****Wrong, wrong and wrong. With a stance like that, what is there to talk about. Music is music, and noise is noise, and ne... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** I’ve got news for you, no, we don’t all do that.*****NORMAL people do.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados I am not now, nor have I ever been, a 'protector' of Jazz. Impossible task and very presumptuous. The music has passed me by. I accept that. Thank God for LPs and CDs. Although all the players are long gone, most anyway, I can still enjoy t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados We are not talking about Flanagan. We are talking about the meaning of the word 'elegant' as used to describe a musician's style of playing. The word as it would be used in a music review.I bet no one ever 'accused' Art Tatum of being 'elegant... | |

| Jazz for aficionados ***** Btw, "elegant" and "economical" is the perfect description of Tommy Flanagan's style; very appropriate. And good for you for recognizing Tommy Flanagan's style.*****Of course 'elegant' is in the ear of the listener, and 'economical' coul... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** On the other hand, to me, he seems to have a clearly recognizable style ...very economical and tasteful; elegant even. *****Sounds like a critic /academic to me. I would never buy a CD because someone said it was 'economical' or 'elegant'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Swinging for Benny:That whole clip was 'strange'. First of all, the man was wearing a suit and tie and looked like a serious Jazz musician. This type music sounds vaguely familiar.Then it hit me. This is Real Jazz being played by a real Jazz ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** The main problem with that assertion is that the implication is that when there is any critical analysis there is less love for the music; that the "critic" is somehow automatically LESS of a music lover and that the listener who won’t or i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Folks on this thread do seem to listen to music as if they were music critics, instead of music lovers.Cheers | |
