Jazz for aficionados

Rok, have you ever noticed that the people who complain about what I talk about, never have anything to talk about themselves.

Right now I'm listening to "Moanin". The same one that's on the album, the album that's better than KOB. Every time Bobby Timmons strikes a piano key, I hear something that I've never heard before, although I've heard this tune a million times. I can stand to listen to Benny Golson's solo on "Along Came Betty" forever; if they (KOB people) feel half of what I feel when I hear Blakey's album "Moanin", I can understand why they buy so many copies.

Here's the link just in case you haven't heard it for awhile.

This is "Along Came Betty"

Benny Golson's sax is as smooth as silk; where can you find something like this on KOB?




Enjoy the music.

Moanin' & Along came Betty:

Listening closely to each note of great Jazz, has been known to bring on severe cases of spontaneous smiling.

Cheers

Rok, I have seen more complaints about me than you can shake a stick at. Is this thread titled "What's wrong with Orpheus" or "Jazz For Aficionados"? If it's the first, a lot of people are batting 100, but if it's the latter, they have failed to contribute anything.

Who ever has a complaint about this thread can change it any way they want to; do you want the latest in jazz? Fine, link it up and let us hear it. Do you want Classical? That's good to, I have no objection? If you want Hill Billy ( post it on another thread) OK, but I can't promise I'll listen.

See how easy it is to have it any way you want it.



Enjoy the music.

Not exactly the blues or Hillbilly but….

O-10, speaking for myself, I can deal with stubborness, close-mindedness, rigidity, illogic, anti-intellectualism, sarcasm and even plain bone-headedness; however, most disappointing of all (after three years of participation and seeing and overlooking the many signs) is the realization that you are not a person of good will.  If it weren't for the silliness in behaving like a petulant child who doesn't get his way it would be even sadder than it is; and, with your sarcasm and cynicism, you simply create more rancor and exclusion.  You consider yourself an aficionado and champion of the music and you are so self-serving in the place that you hold for it in your own personal sphere (agenda) that you don't see how you let that personal agenda and the resentment of not getting your way color your perception of the very music that you claim to love so much.  You let it influence your perception of what is worthy and what is not simply based on whether your "opponent" (in your mind) thinks that it is, or your "friend" thinks that it's not; just as you refuse to even consider information presented to you in good faith that could help you appreciate your musician friend even more than you do because it would help you understand more the depth of what is required to do what he did.  Sad indeed.
