| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Got the 'Three Wishes' book yesterday. This is much more than I expected. This is really an eye opener for me.The comments, the majority of them, seem to open and honest. And the photos are priceless! The Baroness was not much of a photograph... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Just listened again to CD1 of the box set this morning. Speaking of sidemen? On these sets the sidemen are as accomplished as the leaders. It's like a who's who of Jazz.The music on this disc seems to have less of an edge or attitude than tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Both of the Stan Kenton tunes were disappointments. Mainly the sound quality and the arrangements.We had Mellow-phones in our marching band, but they looked sort of like French horns.I LOVE Malaguena. I wore out a few '101 Strings' LPs playin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3:Now, I have experienced two of the worst musical moments in my life!! Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados The Frogman:******Our main area of disagreement is in the absolutism of a comment that you have made several times to the effect that the "public decides who is great". If that were true then how do you explain the popularity of so much music that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Rok, I can feel that this is going down a treacherous road (for an Internet discussion).*****Won't happen. I no longer do treacherous roads. I now rely on my irresistible logic!!******Exactly!! The notion that a player like Lytle deserves to b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ******* I don't understand how a truly comprehensive discussion on jazz can take place without substantial mention and discussion of players like Goodman, Artie Shaw, Harry James and others from that period.*****That would be easy to do. There are... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Johnny Lytle:Dang!! The Frogman is a hard taskmaster.Lytle is a 'soul-Jazz' player. The 'groove' is the thing. Almost like instrumental R&B. And, as you yourself have done in the past, to indicate a player's ability: He played with Armstrong, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I was not aware of Johnny Lytle. The clips were awesome! Esp 'St Louis Blues'. In the manner of Ray Charles, he played it so slow, it made you wanna scream! Both were great.There is quite a bit of his stuff on Amazon. I will look for the one ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados ****"Gypsy Jazz"! Just when I thought I had heard it all, Acman3, you come up with something new; I like it.*****I can't wait until you get to Papua New Guinea Head-hunter 'Jazz'. Maybe you, The Frogman, and Acman3 could then fly over and catch a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I remember back in the day when heart transplants were a lot more iffy and rarer than they are today, a famous doctor listened to 'Inside Moves' by Grover washington jr, while performing a transplant. Blew my mind!That's what I call a Jazz Lo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool:Yes I have the Peterson CD. The 'story' about the Doctor was just me messin' with The Frogman.I only mentioned the 'all the notes' thingy because I was pretty sure it was Paganini and his '24 Caprices'. Which from what I read, gives you ... |
