| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Orpheus10:'Next we have Duke Ellington in a very unusual mode. This music is at the very roots of "JAZZ", it has the flavor of Harlem and Africa, plus the pure "JAZZ" sound of the Duke of Ellington; I give you "Afrique".'I recently purchased this ... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz 'Let me put this trolly back on it's intended track. "Latin smooth Jazz" is the title of this youtube link, it offers romantic guitar and beautiful photography.'I would agree this as an example of so-called 'Smooth Jazz' or elavator music. Sort of... | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz I distrust anything or any concept with the word 'Peoples" or 'World' in it. Reminds me of the commies, or the whacky so-called governments in the third world. | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Taking your argument to its logical conculsion, would mean that Armstrong, Ellington, Coltrane and all the rest actually played 'world Jazz' since they played on planet earth. | |

| The Evolution of Modern Jazz It is possible for a genre of music to 'progress' to the point where it has absolutely nothing in common with the original source. I put 'avant-garde' and 'free' jazz in this category. I got off the train after 'A Love Supreme.' | |
| You never see this anymore Mrtennis'i see the problem of the utility of dealers as basically, an unrealistic environment for assessing the nature of components, not so much a problem of customer service.'I agree with your assessment. However dealers could be a little more c... | |
| Variations in how your system sounds? 'Wolf_garcia: The disc was free'And just how was I supposed to know that? :) | |
| Variations in how your system sounds? 'I DO NOT understand...how can playing a digital track on a system demagnetize it? This will be added to the 12,416 things I don't understand, unless somebody can explain it to me.'Does the term 'MONEY' ring a bell? Actually the disc works on the ... | |
| You never see this anymore 'Oh, yes I have hi end brick and mortar store in my town but never go there anymore. Why? They know nothing about great customer service.'Acting like audiophiles?? | |
| The Evolution of Modern Jazz Thanks for the link. I have almost all his stuff. Great playing. I had a big smile of my face while listening, and this is to a youtube link on logitech speakers on a computer. Just illustrates to me, It's the music, not the gear. |
