Jazz for aficionados
Frogman, we've been into the evolution of jazz in relation to Africa, from slavery to the present; I wonder how it would go if we went in reverse; I mean what music in Africa that has been influenced by jazz from here. Acman could lead this parade, I believe he has been into African oriented jazz from Africa. Enjoy the music. |
***I don't know what to say. However, I will say that I am still waiting for a cogent explanation about how the masses are who decide what is good when it is the masses who deem the likes of Kenny G, Madonna, etc. as worthy of their support.***** There you go again. I did not say what the masses decided what was good in an absolute sense.. And your example proves my point. You said Bolero was his least important work. I did not say it wasn't, I said the masses decided it was his best work, by their criteria. Stay focused. I say 'exactly' what I mean to say. No more, no less. |
****Really? Given the above, who do you think is really missing the point. The person who makes clear and factual commentary about the piece, or the person who doesn't even know that the piece was not a ballet,***** From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bol%C3%A9ro Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). Originally composed as a BALLET commissioned by Russian actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous musical composition. The people rest. Cheers |
