| Jazz for aficionados One of my pet peeves is for an instrumentalist or vocalist to mess with one of the standards, and not follow the script in regard to the emotions of the song. For a song to survive longer than I've been living, it must have something special abou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, this is not what I wanted, maybe you can find what the first commentator was asking about; it's much better. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, this is one dynamite tune. It happened to be on the juke box of my favorite lounge, and there is no telling how many quarters I put in that juke box to hear this. (juke boxes were the first high end) Music sounds so much better when share... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I have a worn out record with Bud Shank Titled "Koto and Flute" that I haven't been able to find. This sounds as close to one of the tunes as I can get, but not nearly as good. Bud Shank blew some boss flute. https://www... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, if there was a grand prize, you would win it. Although I knew it wasn't written by Duke Ellington, I thought the band was his because that's what it said. It's for sure I'm no big band expert, as my collection attests to that fact. Are... | |
| Jazz for aficionados While I couldn't find out who played the alto sax solo with Duke Ellington on "Harlem Nocturne", I did find St. Louis Blues played by Johnny Hodges. All of us can compare the two, and vote whether or not Johnny Hodges did the solo with the Duke. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I didn't look it up because that would be cheating, but after listening, I think it was Johnny Hodges. Could you look it up and fine who the alto soloist was. I'll be back to find out. | |
| Hip Hop & Rap recommendations for Taters Taters you evidently have some kind of problem. Has any Hip Hop artists come to your grand abode asking to be heard? Since they're millionaires, I rather doubt it.If all of these people are so beneath you, why are you so curious about them? Mos... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Shelly Manne, you got him. How about "Speak Low". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOokrsEAJ6QEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, that's it; do you know if the CD is available? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Forest Flower was one of the first albums that sold over a million copies; it's amazing how everybody seems to like the same music I like.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex there's no way I can get enough West Coast. Since this thread began "West Coast" is the only genre we haven't explored. My West Coast records went with the wind, or something like that, because they mysteriously disappeared.Back when West C... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This tune takes me back to Chicago. The name of the tune is "Harlem Nocturne". For the sake of my scenario, let's call it "Chicago Nocturne", or "Chicago Night". Picture this; I'm in the back seat of a sky blue, and white two tone, 56 Bel Aire ... |
