| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, the first time I heard Grant Green was in 58 before he became a professional, which means I heard him far beyond his discography, that means I'm very well acquainted with just about everything about his music. Review by Stephen Thomas Er... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, while I didn't like the Zappa band, I found another cut by "Sugercane" that I did like; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5XAAB_kGR8Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Many times when discussing an era of music in the past, most of the participants in that discussion are unable to put themselves back into that time frame; who were your friends, what kind of clothes did you wear, since you were probably into "Ste... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I just received The Grant Green and Sonny Clark Quartets, here's the scoop; they made real good music, but not near the level I have been accustomed from by either artist. I'm glad I bought the music, but I didn't hear the Grant Green I'm so fami... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, Although I never heard of "Sugar Cane Harris", he will be added to my collection; that guy is fantastic, I listened to the whole 40 minutes. If I'm lucky enough to find an LP he'll be added, but you say he's not on CD?Are there new LP... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, one of my friends like's free jazz, and every time these musicians come to town, he gives me a ring; fortunately, we've been friends for a very long time, so I go pick him up, with earplugs; but "free Jazz" should be free, you shouldn'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If Eric Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" ain't abstract, grits ain't grocery, eggs ain't poultry, and Mona Lisa was a man.Some of my favorite musicians are crazy about "Eric Dolphy"; it must have been his personality. If I owned this record, I would leave... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although abstract may seem to be an easy word to describe, it's not. The definition can only be agreed on by the people using the word. I'm going to find jazz that I call abstract, and see if it fits your definition as well, and you can do likew... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is what I was referring to by Grachun Moncur III, as being abstract, although this particular cut is quite accessible for me, but there are other cuts on this same LP that are abstract.I was going through his music, since I don't have anythin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I found "Search For The New Land" accessible as well, if I said it I'm getting ahead of myself, when I meant "Evolution" with Grachun Moncur."Search For The New Land" I suppose was abstract when compared to "Side Winder". No Ghosthous... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Grachun Moncur III is an artist I can only vaguely remember; he could only be found in "aficionados" collections that were so deep into the music, that they functioned as libraries, no, not mine; although I have heard of him.He is an American trom... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, more abstract jazz is not for the casual listener, but those who can go into another zone with the musician. As a rule those albums don't sell well, but musicians make them for artistic sake, or their own soul satisfaction.For example... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You're absolutely correct jafant. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, here's some more information on "Search For The New Land".It's an album by jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan; a hard bop set with a group of well-known jazz musicians, Search for the New Land was recorded before The Sidewinder was released and ... |
