| Jazz for aficionados ***** Rok, If you are interested in 'jazz' vocalists you might be interested in the music of Laverne Butler, Rene Marie, and Mary Stallings. All contemporary vocalists. All have recorded on the MaxJazz label. *****I first became aware of Rene... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Newbee: Seems like I have seen or been in this movie before. A certain person throws a hissy-fit, and storms off the thread. Then we have all these previously unknown and unheard 'supporters' 'coming forward' to say things like "you did your b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of Jazz divas. Miss Wright made the cover of Downbeat in Jan 2016. This CD, (Dreaming Wide Awake) made it to number one on the Contemporary Jazz Charts. For what that's worth.She is sort of hard to put in any box. Sings blues and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, now that our so-called, 'condescending teachers', have had their say, lets let the 'students' speak.First I would like for our OP to list all, or at least some of the things he has learned from The Frogman and Learsfool. Learned about music... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3 & O-10:Karrin Allyson!! WOW!! You guys hit back to back home-runs.Did you noticed the instruments on 'So Danco Samba' were very similar to the Dave Pike clip, but much better playing on Trumpet, Guitar, and much, much better Vibe pl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This may not be Jazz, but it's beautiful. She should be a Jazz singer. :) I listen to her a lot.Female Jazz singer could be the part of Jazz that's in the worst shape these days. Once you get past Dee Dee and Salvant, pickings become very s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Listened to David pike. The entire album. Hard to find fault with Brazilian music. This was pleasant enough, but nothing exceptional. Clark Terry was very subdued. If you weren't paying attention you may not have noticed he was there.If the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, if my leaving meant that you would participate, I will gladly leave. I can always read the thread. I don't have to post. I did leave once, and waited on the deluge of new posters. Nothing happened.I wish there were more posters, if I a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados reference the newbee post:I am always amazed at the number of people who claim they depend on The Frogman to enlighten them about Jazz, but never make any input themselves.They never ask any questions. Never make any comment, except to critici... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** who's motivation is as transparent as Rok and Orpheus. They are what they are, it is readily apparent to the most casual observer, and they are not going to change.******Could you elaborate? This is not an 'audiophile' thread, here we say ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10 it is not a good idea to bring personal relationships into this thread. You knew this player and he was your friend. The rest of us didn't know him, and we look at him in an entirely 'objective' manner.When I posted a guy I went to schoo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** Study the origins of Bebop, then come back. They were studying everyday what the classical composers of their time were doing.*****This is what is called 'wishful thinking' .(1) Name me some classical music that you can point to and say, "t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** Tell Armsrong, Parker, Ellington,Miles, ect, it was not about intellect. *****Tell the boys down in New Orleans it was about intellect. They were the creators, lest we forget. You misspelled Armstrong, That was the Lord's way of saying,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mercy Lord, Mercy!!Read my posts. I told O-10 that all entertainers must practice. Here it is.***** O-10:You don't have a leg to stand on. ALL performers and entertainers practice their craft. Even stand up comedians.Your friend was just a L... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When you argue with God, that's arrogance. I will assume neither of you claim to be The Lord.The idea that Jazz is some intellectual exercise, is what is destroying, or has destroyed Jazz. Brought about by folks with degrees from 'elite' schoo... |
