| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - Missed commenting on the Corea Quartet #1 first time around. For whatever reason, this is interesting to me. Not sweetness and light throughout but not "shallow lyricism" either. Kinda meaty. Excellent musicianship of course. Reading ab... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman - Taj and Keb…Don’t Leave Me Here. Almost tells the history of the blues right there. Great track. I can definitely hear B.B. King doing a version of it. Don’t know anything about the LP. (sampled your other tracks from it) Will enjoy... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - Thank you for asking. Happy to share. What I think I’ll do is just list all the jazz I have (not sure how large a collection that is, actually). Will mark my favorites. Please be patient. It will take a bit of time to get to this. Meanwh... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Bing & Ruth - "No Home of the Mind" - something tranquil to begin the Sabbath.Track 5, The How of It Spedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-X8B_1v0Es&ab_channel=4AD | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hey O - Remember posting the below (Dec 31 last year)?The very best music is that which has withstood the test of time and repeats; no matter how many times you've heard it, it still sounds good.Such music in my collection that exists, I will shar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wikipedia explained things...The Jazz Crusaders (first LP, Freedom Sounds 1961) shortened their name in ’71 to The Crusaders. Certainly seems over the years their music "dumbed down" as they achieved more commercial success (least that’s how read ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus & Acman - Wrote a lengthy reply about an hour ago. It didn’t survive. Must have messed up somehow. No desire to try and recreate the whole thing. In brief (if I can)...O- I agree with your first paragraph about Delta Blues embodying a ... | |
| Amperex 6SN7GTB Try emailing Tubemonger and/or Brent Jesse with pics. They might have some insight. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hahaha....points well made, Acman. Thanks.Zawinul and Weather Report certainly belong on that fusion with soul list. Partly, I think, because WR (early on, at least) was mostly about jazz with some "rock" seasoning. Later on, increasing amounts of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I worked quite a bit on the Gulf but never lived there (nor up in the Delta area of MS). I respect and appreciate what that first hand exposure would have given to Rok. I'll use that to segue into something I'd been thinking about relative to yo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados PS - "Blues, Jazz, Fusion; what shall it be?"How about all the above?Hey O - Thanks for the Jean Luc Ponty Cosmic Messenger link. I had saved that album to Spotify or Tidal a while ago. Tried to listen and didn't care for it too much. Just soun... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus - What I wrote was a real stripped down, simplified version of the far more complex history of the blues. Written almost facetiously - though there's truth in it. The roots of the "song form" date back to early on in the last century and... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I did have a vague notion that Blue Mitchell had more of jazz background. I guess the line between blues and jazz can get quite blurry. Thank you for all those T-Bone Walker links. I checked them out. A couple of the songs were familiar... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hello Frogman. That is some VERY interesting background on SofA and Terry Lavitz. SofA as a recording did not strike me like the usual fusion fare - though it is clearly fusion. I’d be interested in reading more about your personal reasons for lik... | |
