| Jazz for aficionados It could be that musical genres follow something like the Bell Curve. Start off at zero, the few creators, grows to a maximun output, with maximun participation, creativity and popularity, then fades back to zero, the talent, popularity and creati... | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****For example; Velaida Snow has been mentioned several times, and compared with "Pops"******Just to set the record straight, no one compared Valaida, bless her heart, to Pops.It was all said in jest. Even Pops was being facetious when he called... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I will have to read, and re-read your tome. For now, I have scott with her husband, Stanley Turrentine. I remember her from back in the day. I was not aware of many women, save singers, in Jazz at that time.Nice informative post.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados The Frogman:Pops was just messin' with Snow, when he called her the second best. Her being somewhat of a novelty, i.e. Female Jazz Trumpet Player. Pops never said who the best was. He didn't have to.Brazil: yes, this Brazil fits the movie. I read ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Donegan:Dorothy is not an innovator. She does not attempt to push the envelope. She is what you said, an entertainer. Which is not a bad thing. You go to hear her and party at the same time. With someone like Silver, you would have to give hi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ******Maybe you will feel more at home with the song "Jazz Police"!*******hahahahah very good. My fellow "aficionados" can be thankful that my jurisdiction does not extend beyond Central Texas. Otherwise, arrest warrants, for bad taste in Jazz, wo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The Big Phat band, despite the name, was pretty good. In the video clip, they didn't appear to have the proper level of seriousness for a Jazz group.I also thought that having the Sax section out front would have been a lot more interesting.Four g... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Today's Listen:Dorothy Donegan -- LIVE AT THE WIDDER BARAwesome! Did someone mention 'Bombastic'? I think she, and Chucho had the same music teacher!! Once again, I could not find a Youtube of the CD, but this clip is typical of the content.https:... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I see all of you just totally ignored my clip of 'BRAZIL'. And yet, you have the nerve to call yourselves "Aficionados"!Lawd, Lawd.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados Gershwin: Wonderful piece. I have a couple CDs of Previn and the LSO, playing the same pieces.'Rhapsody in Blue', just screams "Broadway"! It is what we think of when we think of NYC.Sadly, we can't buy CDs by orchestras the likes of Chicago, Phil... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Great clip of Valaida singing and playing with the dancers. Those guys had some great moves. Does wearing baggy pants help with the overall effect?Reminds of me those Latin guys dancing in baggy suits. Gotta love it.The Mills brothers are pla... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Today's Listen:Chick Corea -- SOLO PIANO STANDARDSHighly recommended. Could not find a youtube of the CD. I did find a youtube of my favorite selection from the Corea CD, which is also the theme from my favorite movie.https://www.youtube.com/watch... | |
