| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool & The Frogman:Let me make a few points:1. You do not offend me when you correct me or display knowledge that I don't possess. I spent 30 years in the U.S. Military. You get used to blunt, straight talk. No tap dancing or sugar coatin... | |

| Jazz for aficionados ************"A visceral, non-analytic, appreciation of music is great and truly the bottom line; but, understanding the proces better can clear the way for a deeper understanding of the art".*********Your post was very informative. You should be a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ******"On the right equipment, classical music sounds very good. I suppose that's why classical musicians are always into the high end."******Not so fast my friend! All music can be appreciated on almost any system worthy of the name. Even table ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Charles1dad:You are absolutely correct. I guess the answer is, know your lane, and stay in it.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:I think we can agree that 1. Wynton is not the best Jazz player in the world.2. Wynton is not the worst Jazz player in the world.So, that begs the question, why are we talking about him?You answer that, think before you answer, and you are on... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is the prefect example of why Wynton is under attack. http://www.thedailypage.com/daily/article.php?article=29820 It has nothing to with his playing, it has to do with his definition of Jazz. That's what they cannot stomach. He does not cave... | |
