| Jazz for aficionados Szabo covers so many different genre's that almost everybody can find something they like by him. "Gypsy Queen" looks interesting and it has a lot of good pictures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7KgUqF-XaEI like his work with Chico Hamilton; ht... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, your post came in right on time, I was in the mood for some "cool jazz" when I heard Thad Jones and Mel Lewis; yes, all you musicians and the music you make is worthy of thanks, and I appreciate it every day.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, what's most amazing about these "old killers" are the new things I'm discovering from them. When I bought them ages ago, I simply listened, enjoyed the music without going into the "sidemen" who made it happen. Now that I'm more aware of how ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados You can't win em all; although Bags and Trane is a killer, I must have bought it when it came out, and you finally came up with a Mingus I could live without, but that goes for almost all of our favorite artists.You going in one direction, and me ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I said it once and I'll say it again, "There was a jazz explosion in the late 50's, early 60's"; every time I think I've got all the killers from that time, somebody comes up with a killer I don't have. This "After Hours" ranks with the best I've ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, now you're getting the hang of things; a musician, is a musician, is a musician whether he's in Kathmandu or New York, they're a special breed. No matter what instrument I pick up it begins to make noise the instant I touch it. Those guys wer... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I've got a Yen for some Japanese jazz; let's try some "Koto be bop". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBOxjrr1wcIJapanese jazz by Brubeck, can't go wrong with that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jwuYoXTftMI bet you never heard this version of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "As for the rest"; Bing Crosby is "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas". To a certain extent, our minds are computers that have been programmed; this is especially true in regard to our subconscious; everyone knows exactly what Jesus, Joseph, and Ma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I selected my records the same way you did, some turned out good, others didn't; I'm looking at a stack that didn't, they'll go to Goodwill, or the dumpster.Lee Morgan was the ultimate jazz musician, you can bet none of his records are going ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That Johnny Mathis "Sleigh Ride", and video hit it out of the park; I especially liked the video, it reminds me of "Art Hill" in Forest Park where this happens every year; as for the rest...............Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, comparing Sheila Jordan and Trane was apples and oranges; the tune originated with the play "The Sound of Music", this is the original "My Favorite Things". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33o32C0ogVMWhile Trane's version was killer jazz, it's... | |
| Jazz for aficionados My best friends brother played piano, they had a baby grand, and he went to Juilliard. The next door neighbor would come over and listen to him play and practice. After watching for a few minutes, the neighbor could play anything he played. While ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Leny Andrade nails Herby Hancock's "Maiden Voyage"; I know this takes me on a voyage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B2WicKm0dcI also like Sarah K., "If I Could Sing Your Blues". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROssxp6cErYEnjoy the music | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, while we always compare new vocalists to past greats, I prefer not to focus on those differences, and just appreciate what present vocalists have to offer.Karrin Allyson is a vocalists who sings the classics the way they're supposed to be sun... | |
