Jazz for aficionados

***** There will always be people with a different opinion than you. Some are just haters and others just get off on different music. ******

Acman3 gave me similar advice following the infamous "Bey Sisters" episode.   Those wonderful, harmonious, swinging, song birds of Jazz.   Unjustly Trashed by the entire thread.  Not one of 'aficionados' finer moments. But I didn't take it personally, it's just Jazz.

I still get my weekly 'Bey Sister' fix.

Cheers

Since we are in this groove, might as well go first class:

Great photos.

I think one of the biggest issues in these disputes, and one which applies to the music itself in a big way, is the absence of nuance. Iow, we tend to deal with descriptions of likes, dislikes, players’ styles, etc. in very wide gradations; instead of recognizing that there can be far more levels between simple "like" and "dislike", "good" and "bad"; and, certainly between "very good" and "one of the best". Example: I don’t recall anyone "trashing" the Bey Sisters. Not particularly like, yes; but, "trash"?

Excellent advise to not take it personally.

Frogman, of course that I dont mind or take pesonally some of your critics or opinions about some players or their playing.
In fact, I am always intersted to learn something new, I know that that is a hard task without proper musical education, but still I can try.
As for the trumpet player, it is Dave Burns, and yes, we have mentioned him before, more or less with same words, yours I mean.

No comments for Clifford Browns clips? Everybody are familiar with those albums?

"Some of his best recordings remained unissued until the Eighties, and were then only available in Japan in limited quanties."


Frogman stated;
Grant Green's "His Majesty King Funk" was, in fact, released the same year that it was recorded (on lp of course). This was the same time period that George Benson was making quite a name for himself with Brother Jack McDuff and his own "Cookbook". It's a good record and as Alex points out has some catchy tunes.

The "Verve" cd release date had nothing to do with the "Blue Note" records. We were discussing the "release" of the "Blue Note" records, and because I quoted notes on that CD you say it's related. You stated the "Verve" CD was released in the same year; what's the connection?

Acmans post
The Grant Green Mosaic box set with Sonny Clark is one of the releases that mostly came from Japan. It is highly regarded.

Well said, Acman3.

If you agree with Acman, are you saying Grant Greens Mosaic box set should be well regarded, Frogman? or what are you saying? What did you mean when you made that statement?


Qdrone, could you name the stuff to avoid, I would like to buy it.

Anything that says never released or only released in Japan. Or in box sets where you have newly discovered tracks (Mosiac has one or two sets with Green) I actualy posted for everyone to understand the times these recordings were made,heroin was problem among many musicians,I'm sorry that your so full of yourself that you thought i was just responding to you.

Since "Qdrone's post was directed at me personally, do you agree with his post? It's very difficult to follow where you're coming from, and what it is you're trying to say.

Could you compact and simplify; meaning say where you're coming from in fewer words.


Enjoy the music.
