Rok, you have no idea how sad current music is, until you compare it with that Blue Note DVD.When I got off topic, that got a quick response; but off topic or on topic, we still have no more regular "aficionados" than we do now. When you look at ...

Rok, this represents some of the best jazz of 2016, and I'm sure, that according to Frogman, if I could live very well without it, there is something wrong with my taste in jazz. I think I have already given a description of this music before I e...

Rok, you and a lot of other people say the same thing; while It's not true for me personally, I can understand the validity of what you say.In regard to "Bird" and "Diz", it's also true for you as well as me, that's manifested in all the "modern j...

Fellow aficionados, I have stated that the output of good jazz was affected by adverse economic events. I see very bad economic events that occurred from 2006 through 2008, and then again from 2010 through 2012. These events were like a fire sto...

I'm all for an open discussion in regard to the music. I suggest we set time spans, and use music to specify exactly what we are referring to, for example; 50's and 60's for old music, and you and Acman can specify current music. But before we s...

Frogman, you're right.

This is a little bit different; those posts concerning Rok's post, were meant "exclusively" for Rok; that's because I know what he's talking about, and there is no disagreement. If this is "off topic", it's because this topic is more important.

I finally got around to looking at, or should I say completing "One Night With Blue Note". I found it amazing how all those musicians put on such outstanding performances as though it was just another day at the office; they made it look so easy....

"Our president keeps telling us the media is the biggest liar on the planet"; While that's true, I'm wandering how long is it going to take for him to switch and become part of the lie, just like the last president; can you say "Oligarchs rule".

Frogman, and Rok, when I was in LA, I heard music at the clubs that was comparable to the best of Blue Note, by musicians unknown to me. I attributed this to the fact that musicians do not have to leave LA in order to make a living. Although I w... 
Recording quality...
"Shadowfax" on the Windham Hill Record label; this recording was made on a modified MCI JH 16 recorder at 30 inches per second, and mixed to a Studer Mark III half-inch two track recorder, using no noise reduction, limiting or compression.      h...

House party is definitely one of the best jams ever; I believe I could make a hit record with the lineup like he had on that one. Good times forever! Keep em comin.

Jafant, I pretty much agree with the article and Frogman, but I think you are asking the question on an intensely personal level, and I say "It's a trumpet man, quit pussyfooting around and blow the thing".If I could ask Chet a Question, it would ...

Race and jazz: Art Pepper overheard some jive turkeys putting him down because he was white, and since he had heard that the word on the street was the ultimate word, he assumed this was it. While this is true, it's the word on the streets of New ... 
Old Amp vs. New Amp
I think "newbees" should only buy "new" equipment they can afford. It takes experience to even know what's wrong; why start out taking that chance? Parasound use to be an affordable name that offered good gear. Just because I can no longer affo...
