| Jazz for aficionados O-10:****Many times when a thread loses people, they don't come back. I had that feeling when they were dragging me into all that totally unnecessary, never ending bickering, that we would lose people on this thread, and we did; maybe they'll come... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:****meaning that there seems to be fewer people responding on other threads as well.*****That seems to be true. I think one of the reasons is because they never agree on anything. And I mean Anything! After a while folks think they are just t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:****This clip is good jazz jazz; but it sounds like the same music that I've heard so many times before, that it's boring***How can that lineup / tune be 'boring'? I think you have drank the Kool-aid. But you are correct in that you have been... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I know this is blasphemy, but Bird was never one of my favorite players. Maybe the quality of the sound, of most of his recordings, has something to do with that. But, I will try it out.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary Lou Williams -- LIVE AT THE COOKERYReceived this today. It does not disappoint. To my ear, probably the least fatiguing artist ever. I could listen to her all day. Sound quality is very good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C61m3BNnhP0https://... | |

| Jazz for aficionados *****I never realized those jazz musicians we admire, could not have made a living without Europe and Japan. I knew about them going over there to escape racism here, but after that was no longer a major problem, I didn't realize they could not ma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Two more winners from the OP.The Fire Within: I have this on CD. The book that inspired it might be weird, but this is great stuff. Bang is one of the few to make the Violin work in the Jazz idiom. Of course there is Stephane Grappelli and Stuff S... | |
| Jazz for aficionados William Parker Quartet:(1) "He is a prominent and influential musician in the New York City experimental jazz scene",.....wiki(2) He also wrote a book entitled, "Who Owns Music?".Pretty much sums him up. Not Jazz-Jazz, but simple, and pleasant eno... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3:Snarky Puppy ft. Bobby McFerrin:Nice performance, let down by amateurish camera work and sound. Too shakey and too far away.I see they formed in Texas at UNT. I asked the question some time ago, "what happens to all the students studying Ja... | |
| Jazz for aficionados King Pleasure:Excellent!! Loved them both!! I will have to research, and get him in my collection. How do you find this stuff??? I have never heard of him.Cheers | |
