Jazz for aficionados

Rok, they are every bit as good as I thought they were on the used $35. record I have. No they are not as good if you can't capture the "nuances", and most certainly those CD's didn't capture anything worth capturing; yes they sounded dull.

I'll take another look at the box sets. Like you said I probably got them on separate CD's, same with Donald Byrd, 'but if the sound quality is good, I wont be so reluctant to buy them.

I'm sure those CD's by the 3 sounds had the album "Moods", the same as the $35 used LP, but the CD's didn't even come close.



Enjoy the music.

O10,

You said, " I say that practice could take away some of the "instantaneous" improvisation required of a musician who is playing Trane’s kind of jazz, which was the exact same kind of jazz my friend was playing."

I’m an amateur hack that has had the opportunity to play with some very fine players so take my comments with a grain of salt.

The ability to improvise comes from inside your head, the ability to act on what’s in your head comes from practice. Every serious musician I have ever known practices all the time. 

You still have to have the chops.

I’m a 64 year old percussionist and I find that my head hears what to play but my body doesn’t have the chops anymore.

Jazzmusician, you got into this conversation about a year late; go back about 12 months, and read all the posts in regard to this and you'll be up to date.

Enjoy the music.

The Three Sounds -- MOODS

Listening to it now, from the "Eight Classic Albums".  Sounds fine to me.   It's only a trio.  Not a lot nuance to hear.  The cymbals are there.  Harris is great,  and the Piano sounds like a Piano.

Maybe you need to upgrade to Polks. :)

Cheers

And here I was, silly me, thinking that I would prove Rok wrong re his comment that he sensed anothern ruckus coming; I was simply going to ignore O-10's rehashing (for God knows how many times) of the practicing issue.  I can ignore O-10's ignorant opinions and comments on the subject, but I can't ignore the kind of negativity and dismissiveness that our OP thinks is acceptable in response to a poster's opinion presented in a respectful and informative way.  At some point our OP will have to understand just how arrogant and simply nasty he presents himself.  So far he doesn't seem to care; but, imo, he needs to be called out for it.  

That he is dead wrong about the subject is clear.  It is true that this subject goes back quite some time; however, he brought it up again a mere few hours ago and anyone (including me, had I chosen to not ignore him) would have been free to respond to the recent comment without needing to "go back 12 months".  Or, is the OP suggesting that expressed opinions (his) are not subject to a reaction and response?

jzzmusician is exactly right and I could not have said it better and in a more concise way.  Anyone interested in the truth about the subject needs go no further.  Well done.
