That Johnny Mathis "Sleigh Ride", and video hit it out of the park; I especially liked the video, it reminds me of "Art Hill" in Forest Park where this happens every year; as for the rest...............
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
Rok, I selected my records the same way you did, some turned out good, others didn't; I'm looking at a stack that didn't, they'll go to Goodwill, or the dumpster. Lee Morgan was the ultimate jazz musician, you can bet none of his records are going to the dumpster, while other very well known musicians are leaving here. Lennie Tristano said "You can make your fingers reproduce your deepest feelings"; Red Garland's fingers reproduced his deepest feelings, I could hear that song better than any vocalist could sing it; his fingers confirmed what Lennie Tristano said. Enjoy the music. |
"As for the rest"; Bing Crosby is "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas". To a certain extent, our minds are computers that have been programmed; this is especially true in regard to our subconscious; everyone knows exactly what Jesus, Joseph, and Mary looked like. While we can over ride our subconscious, I choose to "go with the flow" on Christmas music. In regard to "Hello Dolly", all of the above have been more programmed than the original; consequentially, all of the above sound better than the original. If my posts seem contradictory, so are many of the facts of life, just "Go with the flow". Enjoy the music. |
Rok, I've got a Yen for some Japanese jazz; let's try some "Koto be bop". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBOxjrr1wcI Japanese jazz by Brubeck, can't go wrong with that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jwuYoXTftM I bet you never heard this version of "Mas Que Nada" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yjGVeRGMu0 Now if you really want to go out on a limb, you've got to get into "Osamu Kitajima"; he'll take you to places you've never been before, all the way past the 7th Galaxy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbJCTxHrJww Enjoy the music. |
