| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I didn't pick up on the gong show music -- too distracted by the visuals, I guess. Thanks for the DiMeola info. That must've been pretty scary for him! Scofield -- glad he's still playing but it's sad to witness the decline of one's... | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? @mahgister I just explained how to do if you dont have the possibility to compare gear and listening to it... Perhaps I didn't read your post thoroughly. Sorry if I mischaracterized your message. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I have no idea what to make of your latest links... or is this, perhaps, the idea? Are you playing the role of "Dylan" with me as "Mr. Jones" ??? @curiousjim I prefer "Blue Serge" but it’s my nature to compare and categorize. . . If ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I think lacking in sophistication is important to enjoy them. OK. Sophistication was a poor choice of words on my part as it’s hard to pin down. Let me try to say it another way. I enjoy cooked garlic, in moderate-to-generous amounts... | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? @mahgister Not all people are able to listen to gear BEFORE buying... Well, OK -- Not all people are willing to restrict their choices to what’s available from online sellers that offer return policies. There are good reasons for this -- in ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I’ll freely admit to lacking the sophistication required to appreciate Last Exit. In fact, were I to be confronted by them, live, I expect I’d be one of the "first" to "exit" the venue ! ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Can you imagine a band with John McLaughlin and Larry Young? It was called Lifetime and the drummer was Tony Williams, who led the band... no issues of keeping up. Can you imagine a band with John McLaughlin and Jaco? It was called... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw8156 Hadn’t heard about his heart attack. Let’s hope this isn’t the end of his playing days. As you probably know, Brignola doesn’t only play Bari. However, on the session with Holland and DeJohnette Bari is the sole horn. This is also the c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What-- no love for Nick Brignola or Gary Smulyan??? @curiousjim I enjoy DiMeola’s acoustic playing. I saw RTF on the Romantic Warrior tour and much preferred the acoustic portion of the show. Wish I could have seen them early on, with Bill Conn... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim , @pjw81563 I can’t help but wonder, as was the case with Emily Remler, whether "heart failure" was also a euphemism for drug OD in Leo’s case. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjwpkm Don't know that one -- will check it out. I assume you've heard "Rollin' with Leo"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now here’s a potential treasure-trove -- a bunch of Bobby Hutcherson’s Blue Notes, all in one place on YouTube! It’s claimed to be "complete" but there are clearly titles missing. Still, there’s a lot to explore for anyone who hasn’t already had t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 I went and got me CDL at age 57 and drive a tractor trailer now and I am very happy. I could not just sit at home and driving the semi gives me hours of listening sessions undisturbed while making money as well. Sounds to me like yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim The pair seem to be equally well-regarded, hence my suggestion. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Though this takes us out of the realm of Jazz, I’ve always enjoyed the Ranchera influence in Ry Cooder’s music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uiq61V_HPgg |
