| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, "Body and Soul" is not "Bebop", nor is Coleman Hawkins a Bebop musician, give me a break.Music can not, nor should it ever be approached from an intellectual stance. Why would I speak to Billy Taylor or Wynton Marsalis about Bebop? When... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When it comes to Cuban music, I can not say enough good things about this CD, "Afro-Cuban All-Stars" it covers "Son" which is Afro Cuban music combined in perfect proportion like a perfect cooking recipe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now back to the Jazz! Bird's the word when we talk about Bebop, and everybody knows that, he is the undisputed King. We are not talking about just a lot of notes played at lightening speed, but music you both hear and feel. https://www.y... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, your objective is not to communicate an idea, but to change the subject and win the argument; that's been pointed out many times. At other times you choose to impress with your long diatribes.Apparently you and I listen to different Bebo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I'm capable of communicating with people from various sociological and economic groupings, and quite often express the mood I'm in at the time. Sometime I'm in a hip mood and choose to express myself in a "jazzy" manner.At other times I'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I have noticed that every time you have the choice of leading a new segment of jazz, or diving into a "Bruha", you choose going back into the "Bruha" and then blaming me or Rok, for not being able to entangle yourself. No one knows more ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chief Bey put rebop in the bebop, and got religion along the way, can you dig it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DHzFOim3Uc&list=PLiGJl0CoGRhttCozknuOVHaCXcUQRY26A | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Bebop" was called everything except a child of God and music; I don't think there were any authoritarians who even considered where "Bebop" came from.Now if "Bird", Monk, or "Diz" told me they consulted Chief Bey, and got his final stamp of appro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Let me conclude our current debate before we move on. That debate concerned "modern jazz" as has been defined as jazz that originated with "bebop" and for our purposes ended in the 70's.The debate was over whether or not African music had anythin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When I hear the Blues, Gospel, Spirituals and Jazz, I hear the USA, primarily, the Southern USA. Ain't nothing like it anywhere else.Rok, this is what I heard as a child, nothing has changed. Most Blacks are from the South and I don't mean South... | |
| Jazz for aficionados One thing is for certain, whether it's old jazz, or old Cuban, it's old school for me. Maybe old Cuban music will get on the good side of Frogman.Gonzalo Rubalcaba, is he old school or new school? Did we ever close the case on Africa? I am goin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, if you want to stay on the good side of the Frogman, you got to get into astrology, because it changes; I don't know whether it's on phases of the moon, or when Jupiter is in the seventh house; no, that's not it, the moon in the seventh house... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, somebody been playing games with your geography book; aside from that, I liked the unusual combination; kind of like okra with champagne. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Miguel Zenon is from Puerto Rico, and I like his style; yes, his heritage is part of that. Although he has played with some of my favorite musicians, I'm unfamiliar with him.He has quite a bit of formal education in music, as many current musicia... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Schubert, Are you going to be around for awhile, or just until they discover that you're missing? |
