| Jazz for aficionados Mark Masters "Blue Skylight" received 4 stars for performance and 4 for sonics in this month's issue of "Stereophile".I'm listening to it as I'm typing this; I like it, it's reminiscent of bands I've liked in the past. I even like the title "Blue... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Musicians make their marks and move on, Charley Parker was an exception, I don't see music as a series of building blocks from one generation to the next, as in electronics, but for the most part musicians make their mark and move on.As outstandi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Let us XXXXX that statement "Was to the trumpet, what Bird was to the alto".Frogman,it goes beyond personal taste; it involves whose taste is most concurrent with "the street" meaning aficionados from New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, in regard sp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as always, your post is 'technically' correct, but in the looser artistic sense I disagree with it.Diz and Bird, 'technically' correct in regard to "Bebop" the new jazz that progressed into "hard bop"; but in regard to Lee Morgans prodigi... | |
| What 3 Albums of 2/3 Genres (PopRock, Jazz, Classical) Would You Recommend? Irish-tim, I also consider those albums among the top in my collection, and they get repeat play.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Strateahed, Miles Davis had the biggest ego of any musician who ever lived; that fact alone indicates why he never had anything to say about Lee Morgan, and at the same time, it makes a humongous statement in favor of Lee Morgan. It's one thing to... | |
| What 3 Albums of 2/3 Genres (PopRock, Jazz, Classical) Would You Recommend? In regard to jazz, I suggest you peruse the posts on "Jazz for Aficionados" and find what appeals to you. There are so many "click on's" that you can also hear the music on "you tube." | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lee Morgan was to the trumpet, what Charley Parker was to the alto sax; every one wished he had lived a long and creative life, even Helen Morgan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AQojVIUmbc&list=PL49B0943B4B9DCDFDEnjoy the music. | |

| Jazz for aficionados This is a good time for me to show my appreciation for artists that have given me so much pleasure over the years; in this case, a specific sideman.When I think of a record by Donald Byrd, Lee Morgan, or Charles Mingus, I never think of the sidem... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, today's doctors and hospitals are most impressive; in my case they're dealing with unknown stuff related to the US Government (VA, besides old age), and they seem to be making a remarkable amount of progress; reminds me of "Star Trek", t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This record seems to have been our most impressive in some time; I'll have to get it.I've not posted lately because I was in the hospital for a few days; old age was the diagnosis."A Story Often Told But Seldom Heard", with just Roland Hanna, and ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Charles "Yard bird" Parker": I heard him on scratchy records, played on cheap rigs, and I was still drawn to his music. Now I suggest to you who have not appreciated this man's music, to at least listen to it on "you tube"; no other jazz musici... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, you brought up another article in regard to "Blue Note" and junkies that gave a broad picture of how they were exploited; Blakey learned from his masters.That whole dope business was much worse than what you know about, unless you had close ... |
