Rok, if the good Lord put that load on you, you can bear it; I got faith in you, just remember Job in the Bible, he was rewarded.
You can carry on, just don't forget to enjoy the music while going through these trials and tribulations.
Jazz for aficionados
Fact certain, you can listen to music composed by living classical composers 24/7 and I believe same goes for Jazz. I listen to classical 6-7 hours a day every day and for the last 4-5 years about 1/3 of the time I make it a rule to hear composers still breathing . Of course classical has Naxos ,all you have to do is look at their offerings and choose anybody you never heard of , Naxos only sells good music. The founder,Klaus Heymann, deserves every Medal, gold or otherwise there is . |
While I write my response to The Frogman's diatribe, why don't you Gentlemen READ this. http://www.nytimes.com/1988/07/31/arts/music-what-jazz-is-and-isn-t.html Cheers |
Rok, as usual, you miss the point. You can’t understand just how much agreement there is between Wynton’s "diatribe" and my own; you seem to see only what you want to see. Wynton, in fact, corroborates much of what am saying; I know nuance is difficult. Lastly, don’t forget that Wynton has made an empire from the "preservation of the art"; self interests and all. |
