Jazz for aficionados
Rok, as long as I've been listening to jazz, and that includes listening at a variety of friends homes, you would think that I had at least heard about almost every album in this time frame and genre (that's what I thought) I've never heard of either one of these albums; I'll have to get them. "The Big 6" has made an old tune brand new; each one of those musicians is a star. Enjoy the music. |
Jafant, many of my favorites by Mingus are on this album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPT__sB6hgU |
lEARSFOOL AND Frogman, this is especially for you two guys; these top jazz musicians are talking to other musicians about "music". While I enjoyed this clip, I didn't always know what they were talking about; but they discussed "modal" and other aspects of music. Although the center of the discussion was "Kind Of Blue", they went much farther than that; it was about Miles Music. First and foremost, this documentary is about "music"; consequently, Learsfool there's a lot you will understand in this documentary, that eludes me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RqrBKfg1sE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSwyd0E767Y&list=PL0F7DF9D912BA575B https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-EgyUcHSSQ Enjoy the music. |
Horace Parlan, plays piano on Mingus album, also played with Lou Donaldson, Booker Ervin, Eddie ‘Lockjaw’ Davis, Johnny Griffin, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and others. He made few recordings as leader for a Blue Note label,at the begining of 60's in various set ups. This one is in trio form, called simply Us3, that I like. Probably he is in that 'underrated' category. Here is the link https://youtu.be/BsEDeLrk65k?list=PL34877C742F2457B0 |
