Jazz for aficionados
I left off the link for "Tambu" by Cal Tjader and Charlie Byrd; it was the LP I wore out. Since I have to write another post to correct the last one, I might as well include more Cal Tjader "Tambu" [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YNP6q-_nxw[/url] This is "Cubano Chant" [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyjWVtFVifU[/url] Enjoy the music. |
@orpheus10 I have the 'Soul Sauce' CD. Your clips sounded a lot better than I remember my CD sounding. I always felt as if something was missing from this music, which is supposed to 'Latin Jazz'. Sounded sort of watered down, compared to other Latino Jazz players. Now I find out, there are no Latinos in the band. I always assumed Tjader was Latino. Now it turns out he's Swedish. And your home boy at that. Same with Charlie Byrd, bought some of his stuff back in the day. Being an LP of music from Brazil, I expected fireworks. Maybe I watch too many movies. I think I need to revisit them both. The clips were enjoyable. However no one can get the sound that Milt got playing vibes. :) I can't help it man, I'm stuck in the past, waiting on a light bulb to go off. You think maybe the bulb is burned out? :) Thanks for sharing Cheers |
@frogman, Well, no one can say, I didn't try. Cheers BTW, if you have a few minutes of free time, maybe you could tell us all, why Armstrong was great. I am sure you can 'articulate' it better than the millions of his fans around the world. Maybe the most well known Jazz player of all time. And to think, none of the millions of his adoring fans have a clue, as to why they like him. Cheers |
Rok, Milt Jackson and Cal Tjader are Apples and Oranges; Milt Jackson is to vibes what Bird was to alto sax; it's futile to compare them to anyone else. Cal Tjader runs Hot and cool, it depends on your mood what you want at the time; "Cubano Chant" is hot, while "Laura" by him is cool. Rok, I think you need to forget about the light bulb; just look through your collection and find out what floats your boat at that time. As far as acquiring new music, you got "you tube", and this thread, so you know what you're getting before you get it; I believe your problems are solved. Enjoy the music. |
All music is written by humans and all humans are creatures of their time . When you study those who are labled "ahead of their time" you see that what they were/are is fully in their time ,aka the present. The greatest of the great are shaped by the social conditions of their time, their mother tongue and historical events .The universality of art is that it intensifies human experience but this is always effected by the circumstances around its creation . I make a point of listening to and trying to understand the music of living composers with varying results ,not for fun I would rather just listen to Bach, Brahms, Schubert and Moz,art and be done with it , I listen to classical music, of MY time because if I do not I may be walking and talking but truth be known I would just be another among the walking dead . |
