Jazz for aficionados
"Senor Blues"has been one of my favorite tunes since the first time I heard it, Here is the original by Horace Silver plus another one by Taj Mahal.

Enjoy the music. |
**** It is the answer to much of the disagreement on this thread.**** No it isn't. Much of the disagreement on this thread is due to a both narrow minded and arrogant mind-set on the part of some that assumes that the ability to analyze intellectually and the visceral experience are mutually exclusive. Unfortunately, instead of aspiring to more knowledge and better understanding which, in turn, enhances the visceral experience, discourse is kept at a sophomoric level. Not to mention any semblance of humility re the level of appreciation that exists. This is a theme that is truly tiresome and has been beaten to death. Perfect, and very recent example of what I refer to: ****Grossman: 'Tunisia" At :09 and 2:06 Was there anything amiss there?**** ++++Nothing that is not intentional and musical, if you're hearing what I hear. At .09 (actually, at .10) he just cuts the melody short; varies it, if you will, like many players do. Its all the more obvious with a familiar melody like NIT. Notice how he does the same thing again at .17. It's just his personal interpretation of the melody. It actually makes it interesting and it did what he intended: caught your attention. At 2:06 it sounds like he turns away from the mic a little and when he plays the multiphonic the note doesn't speak right away so his sound seems distant and almost like a mistake or missed note; it's not. Good for you for listening for those nuances. BTW, a multiphonic is when the player sounds more than one note at a time. It's a great sound; very expressive. ++++ |
