Jazz for aficionados
Ken Schaphorst has finally put his tribute to Harald Alden. One of my very favorite recordings. Wild takes on Alden, but what fun. Check out the rest of the album! This is one of my speaker check out tunes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfx5BbaP-oo |
Rok, when I don't respond to your post, it's because I don't have anything to say, good or bad, I'm not inspired; not because I didn't look and listen. I don't know how many times you've submitted Oscar Peterson and I didn't respond. This clip is good jazz jazz; but it sounds like the same music that I've heard so many times before, that it's boring; I've been listening to this music a lot longer than you. When more people were here, someone would respond; those "unnecessary" arguments seem to have ran some people off who haven't come back. I'm not in any way suggesting that you change anything in regard to your submissions, just because I don't respond; they may be someone else's cup of tea, just what they were looking for. In regard to posts on threads, all seem to come up short. Enjoy the music. |
O-10: ****This clip is good jazz jazz; but it sounds like the same music that I've heard so many times before, that it's boring*** How can that lineup / tune be 'boring'? I think you have drank the Kool-aid. But you are correct in that you have been at this a lot longer than I have. Therefore, I think anything I like, will be old-hat, or 'boring' to you. ***In regard to posts on threads, all seem to come up short.**** I don't understand this. To what are you referring? Cheers |
"The least fatiguing "; Why does she affect me in that same fashion? It's because she plays the music and not the notes, she plays the music in between the notes. An example of that is on "Mack The Knife"; I've heard this song a zillion times, but never have I heard it sound so "musical" as when Mary Lou Williams played it; it was musical with a jazz foundation. Mary lou was a natural born musician; her mother would not let a music teacher get close to her daughter, said it would ruin her natural ability; she learned how to play by playing. As a child she played "chitlin struts" (never been to one) and rent parties. Every time she strikes a key, the sound rings out "Mary Lou Williams", her individuality is just that unique. Rok, I bet right now, you're having a hard time stopping to do anything else but listening to the CD's you recently acquired by Mary Lou; that's what I meant by going to "Mary Lou Ville", now you don't want to leave. Enjoy the music. |
