| Jazz for aficionados Rok, your post is total "wack". He wasn't a local musician, and he was still getting checks from "Blue Note", why don't you read all of my posts, and when you read them, if you read them, go slowly and you might get the real picture and not the p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I stated that was the Summer he was in my apartment. I'm sure he practiced morning noon and night in order to get so proficient with such a complex instrument, also his mother taught him, that's in his bio. He was playing before he star... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, You are saying exactly what I knew you would say; by definition, you can not practice "improvising" , and that's that. East is East, and West is West, never the twain shall meet. The fact that you both are accomplished musicians doesn'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sorry folks, this is ending before it began; Pike's CD's run from $20 t0 $40, and that's too rich for my blood. Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Frogman, Alex; David Pike is the subject; he has a lot of music that I've never heard before, and according to my sensibilities, it's all good music. Why don't we visit "you tube", and get back together with our favorites by him, or discuss ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I know you and Rok, are sick and tired of this, so am I, but it will go on until it ends.When you see pictures of Miles talking to Coltrane, Cannonball, or Gil Evans, there is always written music in front of them. When these guys talked... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, your whole post was "wack". I had no idea there was so much difference between a jazz musician, and a classical musician. The only thing you can practice is a written piece of music, or you can practice familiarity with your musical i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dave Pike's CD's are running $20 used; it seems as soon as I want to buy somebody's CD's, the price goes up; it's a conspiracy. There are no stores that sell CD's close buy, they all went out of business, and now they're raising the prices on li... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I like the way you answered that. I know I would hate to be competing with "Bags" and Lionel Hampton.Since I like vibes, I will most certainly add more of his CD's to my collection. I'll let yall know what I have chosen after I do the "... | |
| Jazz for aficionados David Pike is someone I haven't heard a lot of, or about, and I can't figure why not? I have him on a CD, "Pike's Peak", that doesn't have one weak cut on it, they all rate 4 stars at least, plus Bill Evans is on piano. https... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you Frogman, and Rok; now that I can see the instrument when it's being played, I know precisely what sound it makes, fortunately I like Bolero, because I'll be playing it over and over. I can pipe it into the big rig and check my speakers.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I played it twice in order to focus on the sound of each instrument; I didn't know all of the reeds; different types of clarinets, oboes, and bassoons, or were some just black wood, and others metal. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I'm glad you're as critical as you are, I jumped the gun on that one, scratch the drummer; you were right. I'm going to overlook your last two sentences.This is the way the Dunham Dancers moved to the beat, can you dig it? That gal is h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, there's one thing for certain, you could never mistake Miles for anyone else; with or without the muted trumpet, he had an unmistakable sound. Maybe it's because you're a learned musician, but we have slightly different tastes; this is t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Let's go around the world, this is fun. Rok, when we saw that dancing in Cuba, I told you and Frogman it was structured; those drumbeats are connected to movements in dance. The dancing that accompanies this music is as structured as any Europea... |
