Rok, since she only sings in Arabic, I failed to understand your last post, and how is this a better environment?
Enjoy the music.
Jazz for aficionados
O-10: ****I failed to understand your last post**** What makes you think I understand it? Audiogon does not require that posters understand their own posts. If they did, there would be a lot fewer posts. I think I was trying to say the Tiny Desk series tends to show artists in their natural state. No props, minimum costumes and stage production, and all that. Up close and personal. Sort of more suited to her type music. Or you could say, minimum influence of you Infidels. Or thoughts to that effect. :) The word " ar - ree - bee. Zap Mama says that a lot. I will have to find out what it means. Cheers |
Today's Listen: Thelonious Monk -- LIVE AT THE JAZZ WORKSHOP (complete) Monk is in fine form. This could just as easy have been, Charlie Rouse at the Jazz Workshop. A very under recognized player. I think that's often true when a player plays with a legend. Sort of like McCoy with Coltrane. 2-CD set with two problems. First there are 7 tunes that appear on both CD. 'Epistrophy' is played three times. That seems always to be a problem with Monk. Listening to either of the CDs is fine, but if you listen to both at the same session, the sense of sameness prevails.. The second problem is the noise, chatter, from the audience. It's not in support of, or in reaction to the music, it's just people talking as if the man is not even playing. Another great performance 'wasted' on idiots. Happens a lot in Jazz. Other than the chatter, the sound is fine. Closely miked. The playing is great. All his 'Hits' are here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrDLxJWKcZk&list=PLrR6QlNIqj5m3bTtyAp8gnaKxjmkdE_Bs Listen to this today also. Sounded so awesome had to post it. Was it Peabo or my Polks? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0XMn0U9b2Y Cheers |
To unwind ,after two hours of Monk, something a little more simple, direct and basic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc8wmLul3uw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjlSiASsUIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u_u4nlYmNs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNj9bXKGOiI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgYEJHJXFB4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmvT7B3u7II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu9RVPTpDyA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlLsbL2LJKw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDFersmE8QU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwhwGmoYv1s Cheers |
