| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @garebear I didn't realize that. Thanks! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Thanks for taking the time to go into this topic in more depth. What you say makes sense. As a guitar player, I understand the significance of modes. Perhaps Fusion is itself too broad a term because as time went on, the genre changed... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Each post of frogman is like a small jazz masterclass Yes, indeed! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Well, I’m perplexed. You are more erudite than I"ll ever be on the topic of Jazz but I definitely don’t hear the music of the 2nd great 5tet as fusion-like. Once Corea and Holland arrived, yes. Before that? No. Would you therefore char... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! Because I only enjoy the Dead when they are not playing sloppily or singing off pitch, the yearly subscription model is a no-go. I hope the Dave’s Picks series will, like Dick’s Picks, be eventually re-released as single shows. There are a few I’d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Although I happen to prefer the two I suggested already, "Modern Art" and "Portrait of Art Farmer" are better known: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xlwqdq1KY8&list=OLAK5uy_kBmYS4IvRE1WxDXl7XeTXGQkBqCWRO4Io https://www.... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. I can't imagine any album I know of passing such a test. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 I think Elvin and Tony Williams were more innovators as both of them had unique styles that they innovated first and other drummers follow/copy to this day. Yes -- this is how I think about them as well. I'll look forward to hear... | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? There are members here who I've found to be not only consistently helpful but unfailingly patient, kind and generous. They are the reason I continue to participate. There are others I do my best to ignore. Political diatribes and personal attack... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Speaking of A. Farmer, are you familiar with this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G5quNRGnCE&list=OLAK5uy_nnE2EwWUyJwoXr_u6ToaLz56ptYbNZlso The same group recorded the "Something to Live For" album, dedicated to B. Strayhorn.... | |
| A blowing session???? @larsman I’m a big fan of Miles’ work in the late 60’s and early 70’s; just ordered the Vinyl Me Please box set of Electric Miles Davis, which has his albums from ’In a Silent Way’ to ’Get Up With It’.... That’s one of the great things about ... | |
| DACed and Confused here... @saulh So many brands/models/shapes/sizes. Everyone has an opinion. The fact is, you will never know what best suits your ears in your system until you actually hear some. The Music Room offers a return policy on used gear including DACs. ... | |
| A blowing session???? @charles1dad I respect all of Miles’ work but have to say that his earlier era of late 1940s to the early 1960s (Bebop-Modal) are what I enjoy most. Certainly to each their own. Me too. I was enamored of his Fusion stuff when I first got into... | |
| A blowing session???? @daveyf My OP was wondering more along the lines if the particular genre at the time...mostly Bop, was pretty much a ’blowing session’ for a lot of these musicians. Which would lead me to my next question, perhaps this is why Miles Davis ’progr... | |
| A blowing session???? @daveyf IOW, if you have heard one great blowing session, maybe you have heard them all? Sure, I guess, if you’re not much of a fan of the genre. It’s not as though we can easily place all Jazz recordings into one of two categories. There a... |
