Jazz for aficionados
Two more from The Best of the 1950's. Too much bass? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cytUz9KkK9M Another one that fell to drugs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD2l7VwQpbg Cheers |
Orpheus, I am glad that you like it. Pleasure is all mine when I read your true life stories about people that we all can only imagine, while listening their music. I wish that you open a topic only about that subject. To answer one your previous question about pianist John Wright, I have 4 of his albums, but I have never been to Chicago, yet, my visits to Usa were limited to NYC or L.A. I hope nobody will mind if I say that I more prefer the NYC. Here are couple albums of musicians, all from Chicago. Richard Evans trio, on piano is young Jack Wilson http://youtu.be/hWXVnz0UdNU Than, Norman Simmons http://youtu.be/92od-i-jtC0 ...and one, recorded more recently... http://youtu.be/Qz0okMYf1W8 |
Frogman, regarding J.Lytle, his music has a such a good 'groove', no matter that is simple. Certainly I appreciate your opinion, and there is no such thing as 'too much knowledge', but sometimes, when the music is in the question, I allow myself some visceral feeling about it. Allow me to post two albums of now rather unknown guitar player that I like much, and who is rooted in the blues. Al Casey, used to play with Fats Waller, and later with other greats. http://youtu.be/ftRd77HPpEs http://youtu.be/-jdSgSSciM0 |
Rok, Blakey didn't always have control over who stayed and who left; musicians like Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, and Bobby Timmons were bound to strike out on their own. When a jazz artist is recognized and acknowledged by jazz aficionados, that's one thing, but when a jazz artist is recognized and acknowledged by the general public, that's an affirmation of his greatness; such was the case with Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, and Bobby Timmons. Enjoy the music. |
