| Jazz for aficionados Today's Listen:Egberto Gismonti -- SOL DO MEIO DIAI played this with the intention of 'reviewing' it, but I cannot. I wouldn't know where or how to start.This is more in the bailiwick of The O-10 and The Frogman. So feel free to weigh-in.I did lik... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****"tried to sound like a dry martini".*****I had not heard that before reading the article. It was mentioned in the BBC column.Kirk:Roland has to be given much credit just for having the audacity to show up on stage with a horn like that. Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados Paul Desmond:Got my October issue of BBC Music magazine yesterday. The Jazz 'page' has a nice review and synopsis of Paul Desmond. Snippets include:'Composed 'Take Five'''epitome of cool''the antithesis of bebop' (I knew something was wrong with h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:John Handy:Both clips were very good. The 'If Only We Knew' was the better of the two. The rhythm section on the clip 'Love Rejoycing' was a little too monotonous for my taste. The 'if only we knew'clip was just irresistible. I came to these ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10:'Take Five' by Tito Puente. WOW!! Dave who???? I like this better than the Brubeck version. A really tight Latin Jazz band is just hard to beat.The percussion was awesome. I have said before that I think the drum solo on Brubeck's 'Take Five'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:The Leon Thomas version was good. A lot slower tempo than either Dee Dee or Silver. His 'scatting' sounded as if he was trying to scat while being smothered with a pillow. But it was a nice take on the song. I wish he had dressed for the occa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Where be The O-10??cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados Oyez, Oyez!!Wynton Marsalis Septet -- IN THIS HOUSE, ON THIS MORNINGCould have been named 'in church in Nawlins'. The music takes you through an entire service. Said 'home' to me.Is it a stretch to say that Wynton is the Ellington of this era? I d... | |
