| Jazz for aficionados The Frogman:Desmond Blue at 2:16 :) :) All I could do was smile and laugh out loud! The Frogman knows his stuff!!The entire clip was good, 2:16, once I knew what to listen for, made it special. That's why these guys are great.Thanks for the insigh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As always, The Frogman has restored order. I found nothing to disagree with in your comments on the 'last exit' clip. You explained it perfectly. Thanks for the info on the 'tenor clarinet' thingy.My sense is that these guys play primarily for the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****In regard to your statement about the audience, this wasn't that kind of jazz, it was more "cerebral",******* CEREBRAL:1 a : of or relating to the brain or the intellect b : of, relating to, or being the cerebrum2 a : appealing to intellectua... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I have no clue on downloads. If I like certain music, then I want the physical item that I can touch and read.I always wondered why some out of print stuff is so much more expensive than others. I can make do with Harris without the three sou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I looked up Jackson and Alvin. I think you are right, not my cup of tea.Interestly, of the reviews on Amazon, from fans of Jackson, most held back from giving his stuff unqualified endorsements. Red Flag! The snippets I heard, I didn't like.But I ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3:Well, it was non-jazz. Very Good? I think so, because great non-Jazz should be as far from Jazz as possible. This was. When I hear/see stuff like this, I always wonder, what is the player thinking. Where is he going with the improvisation? ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10The dancers were awesome!! In that sort of performance TIMING, is everything. Miss a beat and a person could leap into the air and kiss the floor, or get his head kicked in.My favorite growing up was 'pine top' boogie woogie. I think that was ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****Rok, I'm beginning to like this "old" music******It ain't old O-10, It's just Jazz. People(like me), who listen to Mozart, never say they are listening to 'old' classical music. Not even Bach is called old, Just great muaic.Beware of any musi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Calling all Aficionados!!I just received this from Amazon today. An 8 CD set titled "The 100 Best Jazz Tunes Of The 1950's" Someone posted the track listings and I have re-posted them below.The song lineup is beyond criticism. The only possible co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****The smoking babes are definitely digging it.****Curses!!! Foiled again!!I will admit that, after placing a loupe on the monitor, I did detect movement.I wonder how they would have reacted to Mingus and his band doing, 'hog calling blues'?But t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:"Here' tis" very nice. He is another alumnus of Mingus and Blakey(who wasn't).Just so happens that as I was reading your post on soulful Jazz gospel, I was listening to Gene Harris' 'In His hands'. I think Harris is in the same type music as ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The cover of the Lou Donaldson LP shows him walking with his AX in a case. Have not seen that in ages. :)I have his CDs, 'hot dog' and 'alligator booaloo'. I always associated him with 'soul' Jazz.The bell ringers were great. I was just showing ho... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10:*****This album is quite beautiful at times, boring at others.It's like winding up in a Brazilian wonderland with Alice, strolling down a path through the jungle; you never know what's going to happen next, but with this unusual aggregation o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Parting Point.I am not suggesting these folks can play at Brubeck's level. It's just a fun thing. There are many like it on youtube. Some doing 'Blue Rondo Ala Turk'. My main point in presenting this, is to watch the audiences. This is my main pro... |
