| Jazz for aficionados Frogman;This debate boils down to one Letter of the alphabet in one sentence, not Wes Phillip's life history, and Rok spelled that out. This is the same as the last debate that revolved around 1 individual who did not practice for 1 summer when h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe if he had a"stellar" piano, the tune would not have turned out nearly as good. This music conveys the thought, and emotions behind the music better than any I've ever heard. Without the words, Bobby Timmons music tells a complete story; ma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, This is the September 97, issue; Wes Phillips is the reviewer, and the context is in regard to the music, not the instrument. On my first post, that paragraph is from the magazine; they gave "Moanin" to Benny Golson. Preceding this sent... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Long tall Marcia Ball"; that's what they call her down there in the swampland, and I call her music "Gator Boogie". She doesn't play the kind of music you expect to read about on a jazz thread, but occasionally I deviate. Marcia is influenced b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Although I've heard a lot of jazz where the piano was less than perfect (good equipment reveals that) I interpreted "playing less than a stellar piano" as a judgement call in regard to Timmons playing and that's where "Stereophile" has o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I have "Coltrane for lovers", and none of those songs appear on other CD's; but it states Coltrane Live has duplication that appear on other CD"s. From the description, it's probably best for "musicians"; while the cuts have the same titles,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since Previn goes back and forth between classical and jazz, I can't account for his classical music, although I assume it's as good as his jazz. He was one of the early jazz musicians I acquired, and those records were excellent.The music on Cla... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was perusing through an old "Stereophile" for music reviews when I ran across this:"Moanin" was a swinging 1958 session featuring Lee Morgan and Benny Golson who put his mark on the band by composing three long time standards for it's book- the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Outstanding late night romantic jazz", that's a perfect description; right now the sun is shining very bright, and it's a long time since I've been in a romantic mood. After it gets dark, if I can find anyone to get in a romantic mood with, that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When People think of John Coltrane, they seldom think of his sentimental side; "Coltrane for Lovers" exposes a side of "Trane" that's rarely explored. All tracks have John Coltrane playing tenor saxophone.1. "My One and Only Love" 2. "Too Young... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was just reading about "Live Trane: The European Tours" ; Trane, tenor and soprano sax; Erik Dolphy alto sax, bass clarinet, flute; McCoy Tyner piano; Reggie Workman bass, Jimmy Garrison, bass; Elvin jones drums. This set contains music from n... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Mary Lou's Blues" is just too hip; WSIE played this just a few minutes ago, they're trying to catch up to the one and only; ORPHEUS!Rok, how long have we been into Mary Lou Williams? These "Johnny come lately's" are trying to catch up. h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, it's getting so bad that I have to look in the mirror, and pinch myself to make sure I'm still here. While looking for that pianist friend of mine, I just discovered the nightclub owner of the place I described as where the "Peacocks" hang, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, here's another local jazz vocalist I saw a lot. The reason I'm looking up all these St. Louis musicians, is because I can't remember the name of the pianist I've mentioned so many times, who could play Silver's tunes as good as the man himse... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pirius, I have a number of those same albums you have by Dexter Gordon and Herbie Hancock. I noticed you didn't mention Herbie's fusion albums, and I'm curious about them; albums like "Head Hunter" for example?Enjoy the music |
