Evolution: (sigh)
The point is that a thing can evolve until it is no longer what it once was.
I know The Lord is testing me, and he would not put more on me than he knows I can handle.

Jazz for aficionados
*****but your man Wynton himself will tell you that the earliest roots of jazz are the influence of things like the European music tradition and African rhythms; with a dash of things like Irish reels and Middle Eastern chants thrown in. ***** Funny how all these so-called 'influences' only apply to black music. No mention of the blues, spirituals, or other African-American 'influences' musical or otherwise.. Using your logic: The first musician was a person that hummed to himself or beat something that could be called a rhythm on a log in Africa. Therefore ALL subsequent music came from this guy. You can hear the influences in LvB's 9th, if you listen very closely. Cheers |
Wynton should stick to this, and leave Jazz history to me ....oops I mean others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUOTq_xGWpE Cheers |
