Jazz for aficionados
Alex, this is the first time I recall those two together; I had to listen for awhile to distinguish between the two. I like that piano; when I can't name the piano man, but still like him, that's good. "Newk" is jazzier, riffs more, while Hawk is old blues, "the mellow fellow"; just listening and letting Hawk soak in on "Summertime" . "Old Friends" sounds like Hawk on the lead off solo, but now I hear "Newk"; are they trading solos? This is good listening. Enjoy the music. |
Frogman is evidently giving much thoughtful consideration to the link in question, which is a good thing. In the meantime we can get back to our regular scheduled program. The only "new" jazz I hear, is what you submit, or the only new jazz that's worth listening to. When I find new jazz that's been reviewed in current magazines, I wonder why they took the time to review it. Everybody is batting 100 on their submissions, even when it's not in the "classic jazz" category, it's good music worth listening to. Keep em coming, Enjoy the music. |
Grace Kelly is Korean-American - from Boston IIRC. Her mother remarried a guy named Kelly, hence the surname. She was part of Stay Human on the Late Show for awhile - I suspect she left as she has her own band and needs to tour. She is a child prodigy and there are some videos on youtube of her as a child with a sax as large as she is propped up on a support so she can hold it. It will be fun to watch her evolve with age. ---- My biggest hope is that reincarnation is real and so Trane will return... but we are just lucky to live in an era of recorded music. |
Thanks for that info Randy; I'm glad I discovered those facts from you, otherwise it could have been embarrassing if I saw her live and made that mistake. As good as she is now, I'll keep my eye on her as she evolves. This Bud's for you Randy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X4P2FD_M3Q Enjoy the music. |
Neil Cowley Trio from their LP, "Displaced". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R08KyvSHVo4&ab_channel=neilcowleytrio No accounting for taste, I suppose. |
