| Jazz for aficionados O-10:As you might guess from these youtubes, I have been watching the "JAZZ" documentary again. :) I think we all need to be reminded, every so often, of what Jazz is supposed to be. These guys were greater than I ever imagined. Should be a requir... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:***** Jazz from a historical point of view, is irrelevant to me at this stage. My primary objective is to increase my collection, and that's become rather difficult.*****I am just the opposite. I cannot seperate the music from the history sur... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I am not sure if your post was meant to inform or admonish. If the former, I agree with virtually all of what you said. If the latter, no one has ever accused me of anything even remotely intellectual in nature! :)I agree that music and musci... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Watched Disc #1 of the Ken Burn's series "JAZZ" today. Good refresher. I have not seen it in a while. I am sure all Jazz fans have this set. It's good to watch it every now then. Watching it will, like the music itself, take you through an en... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I think this is the first Jazz LP I ever purchased. Played it until it was unplayable. Cost $2.50. Quite a bit more now on amazon, from 'these sellers'. :(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfl5AVTrMfECheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I had never heard the original either. I agree with you about the piano playing.Music history is full of instances where the 'covers' of certain tunes supplanted the original in the public's consciousness. The Diamonds vs The Gladiolas, being... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:*****I'm sure I would have enjoyed the Beys live, they have such a happy and joyous sound*******I agree. And here is an example of that happy and joyous sound. I may have submitted this one before, but a person could listen to this everyday.h... | |
