| Jazz for aficionados The gurus make good points, and they should know. However, it seems as if the overall tone is that (1) 'Jazz players aren't GOOD ENOUGH to play classical, and (2) Classical music is somehow SUPERIOR to Jazz. I beg to disagree. I think players like... | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****We don’t have to know a lot of stuff about sharps and flats and chords and all that business in order to understand music; if it tells us something – not a story or a picture – but a feeling ******We seem to be moving towards a consensus. Whi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ***** He mentioned that anyone could tell they played jazz, because they all had different tones and played around the beat******Whatever the differences between Classical and Jazz players, I can only say, Thank You Jesus!Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados Today's Listen:The 12 Berlin Cellists -- 'ROUND MIDNIGHTGreat players of course. Misleading title. Not much if any Jazz here. Some interesting takes on popular tunes. Pink Panther was very good.I thought this one was the best of the lot, although ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****You got that right Rok2id, IMO Frogman is the best human being on here .And that's saying a lot.*****I know that. The fact he still talks to me is proof. He is like the Johnny Appleseed of Music. Loves to teach and to share his knowledge.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have 'ROUND MIDNIGHT by The 12 Cellists of The Berlin Philharmoniker.I'll give it a listen later. When I purchased it, I thought it would be Jazz. Has some Ellington, Monk, Gershwin and Corea. But for some reason I filed it in the Classical sect... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10:A lot of things in the Music / entertainment world aren't what they used to be. But, lack of venue is tied to changes in the society at large. You can't find any Juke Joints in the Delta anymore. The last refuge seems to be New Orleans, and i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Geri Allen: Not bad to listen to, while you are doing something else. I am sure their N&Bs were impeccable.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****I said all of this to say that as fans we don't seem to realize how special a good jazz musician is; they're born, not made. No amount of study or practice will enable a person to improvise at the level of a good jazz musician, and no matter ... | |
