Jazz for aficionados
O - Thanks for the explanation. I absolutely understand. It's like you said another time about "reception". For me, it started out fun but got kind of repetitive and annoying. That Takuya Kuroda was a nice counter to them. Glad you find it worth your while. I did not listen to much of Rising Son. Will return to it. Prefer all instrumentals. Seems like there are some vocal tracks on that. I'm enjoying the music2. |
"Enigma" is the most creative musical group to come along in decades; they have presented a new form of artistic expression with mystic and experimental components which enabled them to sell 700 million records world wide. Their music fits all the various definitions of the word in regard to "genre"; therefor it is music of the world without any specific definition, or genre, although we demand that all things be classified. My musical receptors make no such demands; the guard at the gate simply says "Come in" or "stay out", and Enigma was welcomed with open arms. I have both CD's and DVD's by Enigma, that way I go on their visual, and aural journeys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_2W1dTMao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZfLIsfredU Enigma explores the depth of all emotions to their limits, and then some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F80QIeequEI Journey to the inner sanctums of Enigma; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbO8KBGWXhA Enjoy the music. |
Alex, Gene Ammons, pretty darn funky. What a sound he had! Nothing "Pint Size"(d) about "Jug"'s tone; huge and funky. Actually, the funky definition of "funky" hasn't changed much over the years and is really the same at its most basic: VERY deep groove with looseness. The two things can seem contradictory, but that's the magic. Beautiful Jackie McLean and Kenny Burrell. Great clip, thanks. Here's a rarity: Ammons with Coltrane on alto (!). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k3drm-bt-vw |
Frogman I certainly liked the ’Groove Blues’ that you have posted, I dont have it, but will get it, strange, must admit that somehow I overlooked it. If you liked ’Funky’ you may try another of his jam sessions albums, called ’Jammin in Hi Fi’, with somewhat changed line up, but still with Burrell, Waldron and McLean, along with Idris Sulieaman, Chambers and Taylor. https://youtu.be/Es76Nsfr09s There are couple more his albums,jamms, but I like the ones with Burrell most. Orpeheus, I must say that you have surprised me with those Enigma links. Never would thought that you may like that kind of music. Respect you and your taste, but I find their music to be very opposite off that how you consider it |
