| Jazz for aficionados Alex, we'll rely on you for anything significant before 58. He recorded quite a bit in 58, and I don't know how much of it is redundant; meaning some of the tunes were recorded earlier, he might have decided to re-do them. That's the case we have... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Michelzay,"The Ahmad Jamal Trio Vol 4" doesn't appear as such on "you tube", but what does come up is "Ahmad's Blues" which has the same tunes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTbSpyEIf8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7RIDZulyHA... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman I've been trying to figure out what you're trying to say in regard to reviewing an artist; are you saying review every record that artist has made?Alex, do you think you have posted the most significant recordings made before 58?Are there ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That's a marvelous suggestion Alex, could you bring us up to 58. Thank you.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'll begin my review by sharing with you what "Wiki" has to say about Mr. Jamal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_JamalA good friend of mine managed to be on the set of "Live At The Pershing" in 58. He was 18 (same age as me), I don't ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ahmad Jamal has always been a very advanced artist, that's why Miles liked him so much. "Extensions" is a tune that could have been done yesterday, but he originated it in the 60's, that's just one of the reasons Miles liked him.I saw him in Chic... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although Sax is my favorite instrument, I'm getting tired of it. (bad choice of words, but it's late) Looking at your list, the people I don't listen to on a regular basis are Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Lee Konitz, and Lenny Tristano. I suggest... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Nica" was a most astounding lady; she did more in one life than most people could have done in three lives. When I was young (17), the stories about her and "Bird" were so pervasive, that I believed them, and they made her out to be no more tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ahmad Jamal is the only major jazz artist we have not thoroughly reviewed. He is one of the few artists that Miles admired. That alone indicates this artist must have something worth investigating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyyfM-gI... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since jazz movies, or movies about jazz musicians, are the current topic of discussions; I'll begin by asking, has anyone seen "Miles Ahead", "Born To Be Blue", about Chet Baker" or "Nina".Although I haven't seen any of them, I will relay to you w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I rated those three links the same as you; naturally we liked Mingus the best. Although jazz musicians had a tough time (when they were the best) back then, I believe things are better now for a number of reasons: number 1 being they can go to a ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, this is not the first time this trolley jumped it's tracks and it won't be the last time. Would you kindly go back to my post at 3:32 PM today. That was the last post I made that is "applicable" to this thread; it was about the bass clarine... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Hit don't make no difference now"; the entire south is on food stamps.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I understand, my last post implied there was a difference between the Republican, and Democratic parties; maybe there was once upon a time, but as far as I'm concerned they both are politicians, who are only for politicians.When I was a kid s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, it's not about approval of white people, it's about making a living. Let me tell you about the racism that does not exist; it's a long story, so I hope you aren't in a hurry.In 1980, a "white" man without a college education, who worked at on... |
