| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10,The 'Rap' threads are not about music at all. I think we all know what they are about. Sort of like "Jazz for Aficionados. Sometimes I wonder if it is about the music.The post by Acman3 was just an attempt to make fun of, and show ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe the place to look for New and Good Jazz is Cuba.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 ,My first CD purchase of 2016. I love it. This is more to my liking. Listen to all the tracks, no filler here.Just can't seem to get rid of that pesky 'blues'. Even in Cuba!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztaBsLvvS1INice clip on t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman,Well, no one can say, I didn't try.CheersBTW, if you have a few minutes of free time, maybe you could tell us all, why Armstrong was great. I am sure you can 'articulate' it better than the millions of his fans around the world. Maybe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 I have the 'Soul Sauce' CD. Your clips sounded a lot better than I remember my CD sounding. I always felt as if something was missing from this music, which is supposed to 'Latin Jazz'. Sounded sort of watered down, compared to othe... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Lord my Burden is Great.The question was, who was MLK referring to when he used the term 'modern Jazz'. He was referring to all the guys you just listed. So Miles attended Julie-art. So what. So the others went to a music school. So what.W... | |
| Jazz for aficionados MLK's comments were made to say that Jazz serves the same purpose for urban black folks as the Blues did for Blacks in the rural South.What did he mean by 'modern Jazz'? MLK died in 1968. Just to name a few of the many guys playing then, wou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** And that's when I discovered what that noise in the background was; what's Frogman trying to do to us?*****I think he got his hands on the CIA's playlist from Gitmo. We could say that Roach's drumming was Jazz drumming in search of a Jazz t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** but, to be blunt, a listener that is not even aware (there’s that intellectual thing again) that the overwhelming majority of music that he refers to or posts as examples is simply twelve bar blues has no basis for making grandiose comment... | |
