Jazz for aficionados

Rok, am I glad you're back; not only has Frogman been misinterpreting every thing I say, but he's been rewriting my posts, and coming up with something completely different from what I said originally.

If "present day jazz" is neither definable or clearly identifiable, then it has to be some kind of "mutation". It's often been stated that current musicians should simply drop the "jazz" title and come up with a new name, also they could specify; is it: Soul Jazz, Free Jazz, Acid Jazz, Kenny G. Jazz, Rock Jazz, Blue Grass Jazz, Latin Jazz, Brazilian Jazz, or jazz mixed with classical music, not to be confused with "Classic Jazz", which is Jazz Jazz.

Frogman, while I've enjoyed and appreciated your very informative posts, I think you should start a new thread specifying precisely what it is you're looking for. Not only would I post on it, but I would even research whatever it is you're looking for and trying to get across.

While I have appreciated your expertise as a professional musician, I have absolutely 100% no intentions of becoming one myself, and for Learsfool who seems to chime in on my refusal to learn the technical aspects of music, "I consider this ignorance BLISS", and I hope this closes that door permanently.

When you start your new Thread that spells out precisely what you're looking for, I will be the first to post on it.

Enjoy the music.

Alexatpos, the term "invincible ignorance" is a theological one.
It exists because at some point you continuing effort to show an ignorant person the light simply drives them ever deeper into ignorance at which point you duty is to simply cease and desist.

He is a Master of the Strawman.

Just ordered CDs by Morgan, Dinah, Ellington and Timmons. Will report when I get them.

Cheers

Everyone put on some jazz + chill. 😎

Schubert, fate of enlightener is often ungreatful, but noble. You can call me naive or maybe romantic, but the sprit of this thread seemed to be positive,to me, not only because of thoughts and ideas that were shared, but also because behind of each 'nick' stood a person who actualy tried to share something that holds dear, to a bunch of complete strangers, somewhere in the virtual world, and many, many times that was succesful, to a equal pleasure of ones who had recomended something,and the ones who had learned something new. Sometimes process of education may be slow and hard, to both parties, but here I do not see the betrayal of principles, as the tread has grown and advanced, but maybe just a dispute about terms or maybe even some childlish stubbornness.I certainly do not see a reason to use such a 'hard' words if one wish to describe any participant on this thread. Despite the differences present, I had an ilusion that all participants share my previous thoghts, because they all continued to write, and such words are kind of surprise to me. I can understand Frogman, and all I can say is that I realy appreciate reading his posts, even if I did not liked some music that he has refered to. Hope he will continue to participate.
