Frogman, the definition of "Aficionado" is so very simple: a person who likes, knows about, and fervently pursues an activity or interest; in this case "jazz records". Is there anything else I can help you with?
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
Today's Listen: Dick Hyman -- MUSIC OF 1937 (maybeck recital vol three) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgJaGssX1Ec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aXCy7yu0Rw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyJm7pEPDqw Isn't it amazing how the good stuff never ages or sounds dated. Not too familiar with Hyman, or why I came to buy this disc. He can play. Although he is banned in Japan, a few LPs managed to swim the Pacific and get there. One of the greatest outrages in the history of Jazz. Cheers |
Rok, I don't think it was as much an outrage as the Grant Green outrage; not only was he denied what was due him for producing the music, I was denied the pleasure of having those records in my collection, I was denied the pleasure of listening to some of his best music. He was one of the very few artists that I had met and talked to, he was one of the very few artists that I had seen live many times; to be denied the pleasure of listening to his records was an injustice to me personally. Enjoy the music. |
