| Jazz for aficionados Rok, in order to understand my specific comments in regard to Africa, the berimbau, and capoeria, we have to focus on the history of "Bahia"; but first, I would like to respond to some of Frogman's comments that are related.There is no doubt that ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've done everything possible, except chain myself to a post, in order to stay off my political soapbox, but no longer can I restrain myself.In regard to Cuba, I was sitting on my duffel bag awaiting orders to deploy to Florida during the Cuban mi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you Chazro, I'll look into all of your recommendations.Enjoy the music. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Roland Kirk was one of the most unusual, inventive and creative musicians ever; he drew inspiration from old music and musicians to make new music, as well as play instruments I've never heard of, and play three or more at the same time."The Delta... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, once the full impact of that video hit me, it almost brought tears to my eyes. This is the first time I ever saw all those stars together, making some of the best jazz that's ever been made, on one of the best jazz albums that's ever been mad... | |

| Jazz for aficionados As hard as I looked, I couldn't find any examples of the Trane I was talking about. This was a hip night club with a lot of musicians in the audience, so maybe Trane was showing them something special, but he never went quite that far out on any o... | |
| Grado cartridge for vintage setup? Sonata by all means, it's a very big step up, you'll never regret it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, you and Rok are both correct; while it's not so apparent on records, at a live performance it was quite clear; "Trane" would take off to parts unknown, he seemed to feel, "If you wanted to hear what you heard on a record, you would have sta... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you want it you got it; Kenny Garret, "Beyond The Wall". This is my favorite tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hvDeRaNkSQEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Rags And Old Iron": When I was like 5, an old man with a cart that rode on two wobbly squeaking wagon wheels, had two long poles attached to it, which he stood between and pulled down the alley behind us, while crying "rags and old iron".When I w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, no you didn't misinterpret, my statements are contradictory; but when speaking of things that are in shades of gray, as opposed to black and white, that happens; now I'll try to clarify. It seems the negative aspect of "new jazz" is it's co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I thoroughly enjoyed all your vocal submissions, and I'm still a ladies man, just don't tell my wife; she'll have a hard time trying to stop laughing.Keep em coming, you're making my day.Enjoy the music. |
