Rok, you are one of the chief deciders on this thread; why didn't you object to Jamal before I got started.
Frogman posted a list to chose from, and I mentioned that I was tired of horns. No decision had been made at that time; you could have chosen someone else. I was trying to set up some guide lines for the review, and Michelzay, who is not one of the "chief deciders" suggested Ahmad Jamal. I didn't start the review until after that, plus Frogman was trying to decide on guide lines that I never understood.
Alex mentioned that I had skipped a lot of territory when I started in 58. This was because Michelzay's "The Ahmad Trio Vol 4" was in 58. Then Alex went back to 51, 52, and 55; I guess he was going to bring us up to 58.
***** There are many reasons why this thread has lasted so long: one of them is because I have posted some of the best jazz many have ever heard; *****
Rok, I'll take that to bed with me tonight and sleep on it, modest or not.
The purpose of the review is to cover and discover what we may have missed (I discovered that I missed a lot)
One of the problems with this thread is that, too many posts are directed at, and posted for the benefit of the 'viewers' , and not directed at their fellow posters.
I'll leave that paragraph for others to cover.
This is not about who is, or who is not the better musician, this is about discovery of what we don't have, that we wished we had in our collections.
I notice there was no mention of the music I posted. Maybe one of the reasons we don't get new aficionados, is because who wants to be in a "Huh bub" like this.
Enjoy the music.
