Frogman, thanks for putting my very same thoughts so eloquently into words.
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
Rok, our collections are a treasure indeed. Although I've been searching and not finding, it's my nature to search, and I'll continue; at least I'm finding interesting African Culture that probably existed before slavery; besides unique rhythms, each village had different dances. You wouldn't be referring to Miles aunt, "Madam Corrine", would you? Enjoy the music. |
Cuong Vu got it right about Wynton and Miles according to me; he is preaching the gospel of Orpheus, although his music has yet to reflect the gospel of Orpheus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46T4YEyX1d8 Enjoy the music. |
****You wouldn't be referring to Miles aunt, "Madam Corrine", would you?***** The one and the same. Otherwise know as The OP's goto adviser on all things Jazz. ****"Terje Rypdal"; he takes you to the "Misty Mid Region of Weir***** I wish I could go there. ****I'm finding interesting African Culture that probably existed before slavery; besides unique rhythms, each village had different dances. ****** There is a lot more to African history than just slavery. Let's just leave Jazz out of it. I was thinking, Before the guys around Nawlins came up with Jazz, it did not exist ANYWHERE in the world. The next day seems as if it existed EVERYWHERE in the world. Must be one of them phenomenals. Cheers |
O-10: *****Cuong Vu got it right about Wynton and Miles according to me;****** I agree to a point. However, in making the statement about Miles and Wynton ,Cuong Vu, kicked himself right out the musical genre called JAZZ! Because, if he is not pushing the edge like Miles, or keeping the flame, like Wynton, what is he doing? And when he said that Miles only succeeded to a degree, because he and his music was not as well known as the Beatles or some other rocker, I really lost respect for him. And then the comment about the Miles clip not getting 'chicks'. He is a lightweight. This boy does not understand Jazz. He also seemed to put down 'swing' and The 'Blues' in Jazz. His musical education is lacking. I thought overall he showed great disrepect for the music and the people who play it. He won't go far. A niche player at best. The interview changed my opinion of him. Just another noise maker in the making. The interview should be REQUIRED watching for all Jazz lovers. It demonstrates the peril our music is really in. If he represents the future, it ain't bright!! Cheers |
