| Jazz for aficionados Call me the Breeze man, the inspiration to musicians and one of the most important artists in the history of rock; as Clapton himself once said. The man is responsible in great part for popularizing that deep groove, blues and country flavored roc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados (smiling) I posted here 'My favorite things' to Alex like 10 days ago... I guess one can never get enough of it... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you Frogman for your reply. Louis sings on this one also, as you would say, with the gravel in his voice but notice the quote from Duke Ellington on the beginning of the clip: "He was born poor, died rich, and never hurt anyone along the way... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Lol, Frogman, that is absolutely crazy!!My reaction:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDK7sRLn-3EBut check the beginning of this song (I recommend not to listen further on):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmc8q2dcIMs:)))) | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was following your discussion, great thoughts you have and very interesting links you posted Frogman. I also thought that the use (of course non intentional) of four bars of music is perfectly legal. Must dig more into the subject. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus, my first intention was to use the word ’magic’ at the end of the sentence "I guess the music does the same..." Instead of me, you used that word several times. And I wanted to post the link you posted but thought that somebody else might ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I think that you haven’t said anything on which Frogman would not agree. Pity you cannot see it. You and Frogman talk the same but just from other perspectives.p.s. But your last sentence is somehow, unnecessary. | |

| Jazz for aficionados I agree with Ps, ’cause a statement that a player is not good just because he or she is unknown to a wider audience is in the best case pure generalization, a stereotype by which one underestimates someone’s work. I’ll quote Ps: "If something is "... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I enjoyed both links pryso, thank you and yes you have noticed it well, Chet seems to appear more often on the list I’ve posted. It is not that I do not admire other giants and not that I don’t appreciate other instruments besides the trumpet (aft... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've been following the recent discussion carefully and find All of you important, he**, even the 'irascible uncle' is important. Orpheus, I do have my list and haven't mentioned it since I've thought (and still do) that few would care, I mean, w... |
