Jazz for aficionados
Today's Listen: Keith Jarrett -- THE KOLN CONCERT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKNQSSNNag8 I, along with the rest of the Jazz world went ga-ga over this when it came out. listening today, does anyone know what all the fuss was about? Cheers |
Rok, since when did Frogman become the Bible; "Frogman said the lesser known are lesser known for a good reason". While that statement in it self is gospel truth, there is the inference that they are not as good. Alex presented a guy on trumpet that according to what I heard was as good as anybody I've ever heard. I never heard of the guy because he had a drug problem and had very, very little recorded. (I never use two "very's" in the same sentence, but this time it was called for). Maybe the guy didn't live long enough, that's another good reason. Maybe his best music wasn't even recorded. In all cases, there is a good reason why the lesser known are lesser known, but the fact that they are not as good, may not be one of them. Alex, you've done a marvelous job of bringing lesser known players to my attention, please continue. Enjoy the music. |
The Gospel According to The Frogman? King Frogman Version? BTW, you and The Frogman have this bad habit of reading things that aren't there. No one would argue with anything you said in your post. Saint Frogman just said, there is usually a good reason they are lesser known. You just listed a lot of them. Most folks on here speak good English. They are capable of saying exactly what they mean.

Rok, the rest of the world must be classical musicians in jazz clothing. Why don't we ask an honest to goodness Classical musician, like Learsfool, what he thinks, and we will be able to ascertain with certainty, as to why they have gone "Ga Ga" over Keith Jarret. I must admit he sounds better when I put on my smoking jacket and light a pipe. (if only he would quit making those God-awful sounds) Enjoy the music. |
