Jazz for aficionados

I would be glad to answer you, O-10. Look, it’s obvious that you and I live in very different universes, both as concerns music and as concerns interaction on a forum like this; not to mention other ways that are probably best left alone. Just look at how you have ignored what it was that started all this (I made it very clear) and how conveniently you pivoted to the subject of new posters. Huh?! You seem unwilling or incapable of understanding the important aspects of what I have said on the subject of new posters. All I can say on the subject now is that the series of posts that I mentioned earlier further make my case and prove my point. If that is all a little too abstract for you I can’t help you, but it is perfectly in keeping with our respective tastes in music.

Btw, I am glad you liked the Lewis clip. I am also relieved that you liked it since the significance of George Lewis in the history of this music is huge and anyone who doesn’t undertand this has no business claiming to be a jazz "aficionado". Thank goodness.

Larry Coryell was a monster player.  RIP.  Thanks for that clip, Acman3.

Thanks for a choice clip Acman, I'll peruse all my Larry Coryell records tonight.

How Dare You!!   You disrespect the contributions of folks like Lewis everyday on this thread.   Stick with the folks you promote.

Cheers

Frogman, you make the most "ludicrous" statements of anybody on this thread.

"As far as I am concerned there is no room on a thread like this for making a comment "exclusively" for a specific poster; especially when others have been part of the same discussion".

We respond back and forth to different individuals all the time, and I responded to a comment that Rok made. Since when do you determine the rules of engagement on this thread? I just said "Your right" because I could see that you were about to go into another of your very long "diatribes" and I thought I might head it off at the pass.

Rok made the statement about the media, and I responded; that should have been the end of that.

In support of your position, I respect the heck out of Orpheus' and Rok's depth of knowledge about and enthusiasm for "old school jazz" but seems needlessly restrictive to draw a circle around that and dismiss content that falls outside it...regardless of wardrobe.

While I most certainly like a lot of "old school jazz", I most certainly do not dismiss content that falls outside of it...regardless of wardrobe. Seems to me Ghosthouse, that you are using Frogman's evaluations; especially when you say "Rok, and Orpheus"; we are not twins.

I was just listening to this by "Chico Hamilton" and wandering how you, Ghosthouse, would classify it?

"Old school", is that a type of jazz, or jazz that's bounded by certain dates?

If you say all jazz before 2015 is "old school", that would most certainly mean that I'm "Old school".

Kick it Chico!



Enjoy the music.
