Rok, so called "bashers" of Wynton Marsalis never said he couldn't blow the trumpet; he could arguably be the best, but when he's confronted with a blank sheet of paper, and he has to write some jazz notes on it, that's where his weakness shows up. Although that's never been my favorite genre of jazz, I'm positive Wynton is one of the best. Enjoy the music. |
Duke Ellington "Thanks For The Beautiful Land On The Delta" certainly had the spirit of "Nawlins" and the Duke. I went through basic training with a guy named "Petre" from "Nawlins"; he taught me the proper pronunciation of his city; he was quite a character. I'm sure he would have enjoyed everything you've posted immensely. Enjoy the music. |

Now it's apparent why I know so little about this great artist; he couldn't get anybody to record his music. ***** aaugh!!!! Well, I have 9 CDs by Weston. One big difference between the ones I have and the one you posted, is the album cover art. In the days of pre-internet, I would not buy "African Cookbook" based on the cover art alone. All of my CDs look 'serious', with titles like 'Plays Ellington' and 'Plays monk'. I do have volcano blues. Maskekela: I think 'Stimela' is on every album this man has ever recorded. He is my favorite player from Africa and maybe the best player on Flugelhorn ever / anywhere!!! His music is always easy on the ears. He also has a terrific voice. Excellent, dare I say it, Fusion, of western and African music. I will post my Weston later. Cheers |
