| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, since I'm not qualified to voice an expert opinion in re to classical music, I'll accept your expert opinion as the final word on Wynton's classical "virtuosity". | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's always about the song, never the singer, and no one knows that better than Ella; she's always so appropriate, never scatting when it's not called for. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think they're perfect, the way they capture the essence of each song they sing; "Moanin" for example. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, "Aficionados", while I began this journey to constantly learn, and acquire new things, (which I did) I've also learned to appreciate what I already have, and I would like to touch on that.In the beginning, I acquired "Moods" (Gene Harris) by... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In regard to Wynton we are saying the same thing in between the lines.In regard to jazz, "subjectivity" is always a factor.Gene Harris grew into a national treasure, and nobody told me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfNIVdnz1FQ https://w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Quotes on Wynton Marsalis are the most misunderstood in the world because they always come out as Wynton can't blow the trumpet. No one, not even Miles ever said that; what they said was; when you give Wynton a blank sheet of paper, he can't put ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That was certainly not Stanley's best, but it had a few good cuts, and once I'm through down loading, the TT goes back in "mothballs"; no more vinyl, only what's in the PC Library.As far as the title; there was a "love and lost" quality to the mus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It's for sure that "Lou" was our favorite male vocalist; I had gotten so use to his voice that it seemed like an old friend was singing to me, plus I could relate to the songs he sang; "Street of Dreams", is one of them.This place was my last "han... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lou Rawls seems like an old friend because he sings about the Chicago I knew as a teenager; girls, girls, and more girls, pretty girls up and down that long Walgreen soda fountain counter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGuwgHIHnZYThere ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, if you're a "jazz aficionado", as we are, how could he appeal to you if you never saw him entertain live. I most certainly was not impressed by the tickets; after all Sammy does not play the drums, he does not blow tenor, nor does he blow tr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I saw this on "you tube" and it brought me back to the time I saw "Sammy".I had never been a fan of "Sammy", like being a fan of "Bird", or Miles, or any of the other jazz musicians. My fiance bought some tickets, and told me we were going to... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Modern jazz is a style of jazz characterized by fast tempo, instrumental virtuosity, and improvisation based on the combination of harmonic structure and melody. This style of jazz ultimately became synonymous with bebop, as either category reache... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I am positive you could put that in the "Guinness World Book of Records"; the only "jazz musician" who has ever been involved in probably 30 plus performances of Bolero over the years.I don't believe Wynton Marsalis could even come close. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "The Penguin Guide To Jazz" numbers "Destiny's Dance" among the core collection which jazz fans should possess; and I thought I had them all. Better late than never.Chico Freeman - tenor saxophone, bass clarinetWynton Marsalis - trumpet (tracks 1... |
