Jazz for aficionados
O - I know what you mean about the tangible thing. With the download files, you can of course burn them to a CD if you want. I'm holding out for a physical CD myself so will let you know when the Sonic Pieces on-line shop re-opens. @jafant - check out those couple of Pat's I mentioned. Very enjoyable. |
Rok, I know you're dreaming of some newly discovered Blue Note killers from the 60's, but if they were not released, there is a very good reason; it explains why half the "newly discovered cuts" on Mosaic ain't weren't worth squat; they should have left them in the vaults under double lock and key. There were so many "killers" to come out at the same time, that some of them slipped past unnoticed; you can peruse "You tube" and find them by selecting your favorite years; they came out on all the labels. Once you make these discoveries, post them so we can all; Enjoy the music. |
BLUE NOTE A story of modern jazz; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRCWHWQoIIY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNAjQBOP-lU A few Blue Note jazz artists couldn't read music; of course all the most famous could read music. Jazz artists who couldn't read music didn't go around with a sign on their chest stating that fact, but it was a fact, and how they could jam; they played with the most famous Blue Note artists and also made albums of their own. Jazz is primarily expressing what you feel in the jazz idiom of that time. The cities were so much different in the 60's; I thought the South Side of Chicago was paradise; South Shore drive, the lake; Chicago was the hippest city in the world, so much live entertainment; violence seemed to be restricted mostly to the West Side, and although gangs existed, the South Side was jazz land, not gang land. I always lived in the city, never far from the action; within walking distance of live entertainment, I loved it. BLUE NOTE JAZZ has the feel and movement of the city; Chicago, St. Louis, New York, but not LA; it had a different feel and movement; notice how different West Coast jazz is from BLUE NOTE Jazz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aeVlQtsaFE&list=PLKMUFgFPQJ9xkZMmJODD29vJUoWlCa_1G It's only been since this thread that I diverged. It was when I realized that I was making a job of trying to find new jazz that it happened; but good music is not isolated to jazz; music without a category can sound good. Enjoy the music |
Today's Listen: Gene Ammons' All Stars -- THE BIG SOUND All the sax players solo on 'The Real McCoy' I am sure all you aficionados can determine the players in the correct order. :) Love the flute playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcCuEkphSvU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B04DP0aofc Cheers |
