Jazz for aficionados

To all concerned:

Jazz for Aficionados: The beginning:

The OP wrote in his initial post:
*****I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections******

(( He then reviewed the Art Blakey Album, "Moanin' ))

then he closed with this:
****While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.******

Now, after reading that, I don't see a mandate, or a request, or a demand, or a desire, or an expectation, for The Frogman, or anyone else, to Teach anyone, anything, about Jazz.

Now that the intent of this thread has been stated, I will
address, later this afternoon, the arrogant attitude, and abusive language that are common themes of most posts by you and the Frogman. I have finally had enough of it. Being a Southerner, it takes a lot to get me riled. But you have.

Cheers

Learsfool:

I have cooled off, so I won't answer your BS post point for point. I never feel good after doing things like that. Let's just say:

It appears as if you are also a Strawman Specialist. Most of your rant is pure non-sense. And very disrespectful to the OP.

O-10 has never been anything less than courteous in his dealings with you. In fact, I always thought he gave you and the Frogman too much credit. Deferred to you too much. He also bent over backwards to keep you two involved in the thread.

You may know music, but you have no manners.

****You will no doubt respond by saying that this is your thread, which it is.*****

When has the OP ever used "it's my thread" in the sense that you just used it? Never! But now, it's 'no doubt' he will.

****But you must understand that no one with any knowledge of the language of music whatsoever is going to listen to you seriously anymore,*****

Is this a joke. Are you speaking of folks on Audiogon? People on this site have no real knowledge of anything, music included!!! Do you read the posts and the topics on this forum?? Ignorance rules!!! Which is one of the reasons for the problems on Aficionados. There was the constant effort to make it an Audiophile thread.

So now you and The Frogman are gone. Do we go into mourning? Or (my choice), Just act as if you were never here. Hell, Some people might just say, Good Riddance? I won't, but some might.

Cheers

BTW, when you first heard the Beedthoven Sonata in question, did you think, Boogie Woogie?? I'm sure you did.

Rok, while you were defending our integrity, I was reading about "Mary Lou Williams"; she was a very impressive lady. I'll get back to you after I've finished. You can find her picture in Nica's book.

Enjoy the music.

O-10:

Got my CDs today, includes 'Dinah Jams'. Do you realize who's in the group backing her? Clifford Brown, Clark Terry, Maynard Ferguson, Harold Land, Junior Mance and Max Roach. Plus a few I am not that familiar with.

Fairly decent Trumpet section!! Will report after I listen. Also got two by Shorter.

I have two CDs by Mary Williams. 'Zoning' and 'Zodiac Suite'. From her younger days. I will check to see if she did 'Scorpio' justice.

Cheers

Rok, Now that you have dealt with a most distasteful situation, that's completely behind us, and we can go on to more productive uses of our time.

Although "all" of the artists on Dinah Jams are major, to me, "Richie Powell", one who many people are unfamiliar with because he was killed in that automobile accident with Clifford Brown, is very important. I like him even better than his famous older brother "Bud Powell"; that's why I cherish every note I can find by him.

Presently I'm still pursuing Mary Lou Williams.

Enjoy the music.
