| Classical Music for Aficionados I have just discovered the existence of this thread, which I see has been going for several months now! I am not on this site as much as I used to be. I hope that this thread survives as long as the jazz one has - certainly the discourse here is ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi guys - still lurking and glad to see that the conversations are generally more civil again. Ghosthouse, I want to respond to your yin-yang comparison of Frogman and Orpheus. I will state first that I also do not doubt that Orpheus accurately ju... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Alex - I just caught up with this thread again, and wanted to chime in on Dizzy, being a professional brass player myself. Everything Frogman has said is true, and he explains it about as well as it can be explained to a layman. Dizzy was sel... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting discussion here re Davis, Morgan, and Brown. This is more up my alley, being a professional brass player. As Frogman has said, the removal of Davis would have changed the development of jazz much more than the other two, and I think ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Orpheus - I have deliberately refrained from joining the arguments here the last several months, though I have read it all. I am done arguing with people here. I was very surprised, therefore, that you actually called me a "troll." Please e... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here is a link to an article on something we have discussed quite a bit here: http://arbanmethod.com/wyntons-twelve-ways-to-practice/ | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have only been a "lurker" here for a long time now, for various reasons. I have to say now, though, that Frogman's post at 12:09 on 3/22 is spot on. Spoken not only as a musician, but as a true lover of music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have been catching up this evening on what has been happening in this thread in the last few weeks. One of Rok's recent comments struck me as very strange: "One of the problems with this thread is that, too many posts are directed at, and poste... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Many actors actually do create stories for their characters - they are called "back stories." They give the character a history that helps them present the character as more real and believable. "Method" actors in particular utilize this techniq... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, that was a great post. Tone is debatably the biggest consideration for all professional musicians, at least those that play acoustic instruments. Classical musicians in particular have to be able to play with extremely wide variations of t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados FWIW - I won't even address this post to O-10, since he does not want to be educated. However, Frogman's modesty is showing here, and I will say what he will not. There is absolutely no way that O-10 has heard even half of the jazz that Frogman ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10 - I have heard Sidewinder; I bought it on LP for my trumpet playing (not professionally) brother once, though I don't have my own copy. I have not heard Search For The New Land. Lee Morgan is one of his favorites, too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Rok - Frogman is correct. Most Beethoven symphonies are scored for only two horns. The exceptions are #3, which is scored for three, and #9, which is scored for four. Sometimes you will see more than two players, though. In these cases, som... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lee Morgan is a player I would be very interested in discussing and learning more about. I only have a few of the albums he is on, and I don't think I have any that he is the leader on. I would love to hear what everyone's favorite albums of his... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi O-10 - as Frogman and jzzmusician pointed out, your post in response to mine was quite wrong. There is nothing you mentioned about improvisation that a classical musician cannot do, even if we assume that we are only discussing the style of im... |
