Jazz for aficionados

I think I should have been more silent...

rok, I’ve written down ’this is not a lecture from me to you...’ precisely because I don’t want you to see me as someone who knows so little in jazz but gives you a preach about Bille. But somehow even this upsets you again...what a man...

Anyway, thank you for the link, I have read it, long time ago...

acman3, thank you!

**** I think I should have been more silent... ****

No!!! Not at all.

mary_jo, as you are finding folks here are very passionate about music and it’s history and sometimes stubborn with our opinions. It is one of the beauties of great art that it inspires such strong feelings. Combine that fact with the imperfection in the written word’s ability to accurately express our thoughts and opinions (also an art) and it is easy to see how and why heated arguments can ensue; something that we thread veterans know much about. Sometimes only through heated debate can the road from opinion to fact become a little clearer....sometimes. At the very least there can be a bit of humor in it all.

So, don’t hold back. This recent bit of friction is very mild....trust me. I like your style and appreciate that you have a feeling for “continuity” in your posts. That kind of mental process is, after all, the way that a good jazz player creates a great jazz solo. I will say, however, that either by design or by innocence your choice of music to suggest “silence” is a particularly controversial (appropriate?) one due to, once again, the all-important “context”. If that last sentence is too cryptic, I have no doubt that your friend and veteran Alex can explain 😉

Very nice Blue Mitchell; thanks! And, very nice continuity.

John Cage's 4'33"

I have heard worst.

Cheers

Sounds like a great music that might go with this video....the Cage clip
