Jazz for aficionados Just some music and great videos. Submitted 'Song for my Father' twice. First one is great visual performance, the second I like best. On this one, Silver in on piano, and he brings that 'Eastern thing'.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gSpatsBDdk ... | |
Jazz for aficionados *****Wadada Leo Smith; "The Great Lakes Suites",*****Normally not my cup of tea, and squarely within the noise category. However, I know Leo. We finished High School together. Played in the high school band's trumpet section for 4 years. He played... | |
Jazz for aficionados *****They gave this 4 out of 5 stars on both sonics and performance, so it's got to be hot. Let's go for "Sweet Loraine"*********Didn't find "Morphoses" on "you tube", this is the best I could do*******I think enthusiastic reviews like the two abo... | |
Jazz for aficionados *****maybe I was wrong about Bheki Mseleku*****Well, I'm not sure how you felt about him previously. The clip was nice enough. It didn't grate or irritate. Nothing ground-breaking. Pleasant enough to listen to. Which BTW, in this day and age is ac... | |
Jazz for aficionados Today's Listen:Mingus in Church.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaeVLd4G1Zg Tyner said Coltrane was too 'out there'.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiI2ZHmxPPoCheers | |
Jazz for aficionados Where would the music be if it were not for the 'entertainers'?Consider for a moment, what if the first Jazz players to come out of Nawlins would have been from the Ornette Coleman school of Jazz. We can be thankful, it was the ultimate entertaine... | |
Jazz for aficionados Mary Lou is not the only babe in town. Today's Listen:Dorothy Donegan -- LIVE AT THE WIDDER BARA little more bombastic than Mary Lou. Sort of like a Female Oscar Peterson. Knows her way around a piano, but stays mostly within the standards of the ... | |
Jazz for aficionados O-10 & Acman3:My Mistake. I have the RS 1500, which is a 2-Track deck. I bought the seperate 4-Track Record and Playback head assembly. It also will playback 2-Track, but not record 2-Track. Dealing with 2-Track recorded tape is a pain.I taped... | |
Jazz for aficionados O-10:I have a Technics RS-1500 under wraps in the garage. I bought the seperate 2-track head assembly. Is this the one you have? Made the mistake of taping all my stuff using DBX. :(Cheers | |
Jazz for aficionados Miles on Trane:While checking to see if Zita Carno really did write the notes to "Giant Steps", I read the notes. My CD says they were written by Nat Hentoff. Whatever. Anyway I read this quote atributed to Miles Davis."I always liked Coltrane. Wh... | |

Jazz for aficionados ******Take your Coltrane like a man!****** I ain't scared of no Trane. Hell,. I own, and have listened to, in it's entirety, "Stellar Regions".Kulu Sé Mama:From the posted comments:"even if it does sound kinda like a chicken's head being torn off ... | |
Jazz for aficionados ***That was a sad day that poor people will never forget.****Probably true, but not warranted. He didn't do very much for poor people. Now Johnson did, but he was a Southerner, so he can't be given credit. Such is the world we live in.Cheers | |
Jazz for aficionados Always had an impression of Tyner as a no-nonsense type player. Maybe because I felt that way about Coltrane. O-10, it looks as if you and I are not alone in thinking Trane went off the deep end.Tyner on Coltrane:His involvement with Coltrane came... |
