| Jazz for aficionados Rok, so called "bashers" of Wynton Marsalis never said he couldn't blow the trumpet; he could arguably be the best, but when he's confronted with a blank sheet of paper, and he has to write some jazz notes on it, that's where his weakness shows up... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have this one, and I wore it out a long time ago. Hugh Masekela straight from the jungle, "Tell em About The Sorcerer". I like his visions of Africa; he tells about crossing the Sahara by camel caravan, and I can visualize humping across the d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Randy Weston (born April 6, 1926 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American jazz pianist and composer of Jamaican parentage. He was described by Marian McPartland as "one of the world's great visionary pianists and composers".Since this is the descript... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I retract my last post because that would be equivalent to telling a scientist, that if he can not come up with something equivalent to Einstein's famous formulas, he's a flop.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as far as I am concerned; and I don't mean for it to be offensive, but it's real. I preface this statement with the big "I", meaning one person, and one person only.With all the musical knowledge you and Learsfool have combined, if you c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is a record that's on my play list right today. I bought it new and never got the CD, don't even know if it's on CD. I never got enough of this record. It came out in 77. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buFUP2LvK2sEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe this will help to establish the 77 time frame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrzxW0rsD1QEnjoy the music | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is a tune that really impressed me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dnIBKw4d84Maybe we start at a given point in time, (past fusion) and everybody select favorite tunes for that year, just a thought.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, the most rewarding foray into new music was Mary Lou Willliams, and to think, I did not have one single record of hers in my collection; that would have been a tragic oversight of mine, if we had not gone exploring.I always "assumed"; there's... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, why didn't you put my bright yellow doubled knit bell bottomed slacks with the low waist and 2 inch cuffs in your post; I'm sure they fit somewhere.As I stated before, I no longer make conscious decisions in regard to music, I trust that ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, you can not add or subtract anything from your past. In regard to music, I never make a conscious decision; what I'm saying is, I hear with my inner ear, my soul; and if the music resonates, I buy it; if it doesn't, I leave it be; it's jus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I still have that LP, bought it new when it came out; that music is related to Tibetan Buddhism. I liked the LP so much that I put it on my computer play list and never bought the CD.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ditto on that Rok; you noticed how hard he's been working to keep this beast alive. It ain't dead until he gives it the final rites.Enjoy the music | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yeah Rok, I liked that impersonation of Monk, it brought back memories of him in Nica's book. Right now I'm listening to Chick Corea's "My Spanish Heart"; that was some beautiful music; once he dumped that fusion, he never went back, and I'm goin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since everyone seems to be in a Chick Corea mood; how about "My Spanish Heart". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLR1Un97MygEnjoy the music. |
