Jazz for aficionados
And here is another big part of the problem. Had someone played this for you and not told you who was playing, I would bet you would relegate them to noise-maker status. But, this is one of Wynton's heroes as he admits in his diatribe. How do you feel about the music with this knowledge in mind? Surprise me. [URL]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7aFKG2c6RIY[/URL] |
Schubert, you listen to classical as much as I listen to jazz. Taste in music is primarily a result of the culture you were exposed to. Your comment in regard to rap, hit the nail dead on the head; they asked for it and you gave it to them. Talking to "MOE-RONS" is a waste of time; racism has manipulated them into putting a noose around the "serf" classes neck, since they only understand black and white, they wouldn't understand that. At any rate, it's game over for the "serf" class. Enjoy the music. |
When a person writes a long, seemingly well thought out post, that you disagree with totally, the most likely reason is: (1) He is right and you are wrong (2) His premise is wrong. The Frogman's premises are wrong. The incorrect premise is to a logical argument, what cheap unreinforced concrete is to a building's foundation. It won't hold up. First: ***** There exist two different mindsets:***** When it comes to music and all art, there are almost as many mindsets as their are people. You are trying to define / limit the parameters to fit your point of view. The foundation of your argument is in error. ...............More in a minute have to change to music before Shepp drives me nuts! |
*****that we all like certain styles of jazz, that no one style is better than the other, and that the only consideration that is subject to intellectual analysis is the skill level of the performer; THAT is what determines what is good music or bad. *** If this were true, we would all have thousands of CDs / LPs full of music we hated, or did not like, but bought because of the skill level of the performer. Just like right this minute, I am sure you can analyze Shepp and point out a hundred things he is doing correctly. To me it is just so much sound. Incoherent sound. Noise? So YOU may think this is GOOD music. If you do, I can assure you , you are in a very tiny minority. BTW, both are capable of playing good music, this just ain't it. Esp for Roach. |
O-10 I listen to jazz as well , maybe 6 hours a week. I don't know about musical taste always being a product of the culture you're in ,though that is usually the case .I never heard a note of classical music till I was almost 30, in truth I never even knew there was such a thing. By sheer chance I heard the Great Swedish tenor Jussi Bjoerling sing a Beethoven lied on German radio and was overwhelmed by beauty and that was that . |
