Alex, I was hooked from the beginning notes; I'll have to search for more of their music; it sounds like a beautiful combination of jazz with a reggae beat.
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
O-10, you really try a person’s patience. Why don’t you just try to be a bit more civil and a little less childish and see where that takes you? In the interest of driving an important issue forward (would be much simpler to ignore you) and out of simple (undeserved?) courtesy I will hang in there. Kindly explain to me (quote please) just what it is I have written that is a "criticism of Bird". Thanks. |
Although demonstrating more calypso than reggae, one of the most successful recent marriages of Afro-Caribbean music and jazz hails from the birthplace of calypso, Trinidad. I posted some of this very nice young trumpet player previously. I love the relaxed feeling in this style; even in the more swingy tunes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad3uG7-2tVs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YmhajnlB9Og https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rsayHOVvS8s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e6rfAnQ9DDA |
The tune "I Want To Be a Sideman" submitted by Frogman 09-05-2016 11:23am, caused me to think how a major jazz musician coming through St. Louis wanting to do a gig would pick up sidemen. At that time, there were so many good jazz musicians in St. Louis, that it wasn't a major problem to pick up good sidemen. A good musician who didn't want to leave home, and find his lady done took up with "Jody" and gone when he gets back home, would definitely want to be a "sideman". He would belong to the local, have a book, and have fun in between gigs, without any responsibility; that sounds like my kind of life when I was young, and my only goal in life was to have fun. This is the song I liked; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdOav-Gt6mI Enjoy the music. |
