| Jazz for aficionados Rok, what I mentioned in regard to blues and jazz, is more related to culture than to music. Check the Bio's of Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson, not their musical Bio, but childhood Bio. Those guys had some h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, my favorite movie was "Apocalypse Now", it's good they don't allow weapons at the VA, cause them fightn words.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, that's the sound of some "new jazz", and I did not see one single solitary black face. Jazz is not a race of people, jazz is not a nationality; jazz is music, and it goes wherever the creative muse takes it, this is hip, the muse has taken... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Music appreciation of the 'high end' seems to stop at 'Kind of Blue', and then only if it's an 'audiophile' pressing." If I hear that mentioned one more time I'm going to have twins.Rok, I'm not sure we're communicating when we talk about "Blues"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If I said anything to give you the identity of my "jazz friend", I would appreciate it if you just forgot it. His heirs, who I respect, might object to my revelation of the fact that he never practiced.Maybe Frogman, or Learsfool could tell us how... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, I want you to know that I respect your comments as a classical musician. There was an event that made me think about classical music and high end equipment.When I went to sell my son's sax, the music store owner told me he would pay a l... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Chazro, one musician I knew did not practice. Yes you misunderstood me. Others who have been following this thread should have gotten a better understanding. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, believe it or not, I agree with you on all counts, that's why I'm going to return this subject back where it belongs. Do you remember "Johnny Smith", who put out an album titled "Moonlight In Vermont". I was listening to that late last ni... | |
| Jazz for aficionados 0nhwy61, maybe that would explain why Guatam Chatterjee is such a good jazz player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtYwiSiGRMsThat chick swings, and now I know why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WvQ7BMws1MEnjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've got a DVD "Garth Fagan, Griot New York" , that has music composed and arranged by Wynton Marsalis. Since I had seen Garth Fagan's dancers, there was no doubt in my mind, this was going to be spectacular. The music killed it. For confirmation ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I wish Wynton all the success and happiness in the world, but in regard to "the music", I agree with his critics, and this is what I thought a long time ago before I even knew he had critics. As far as I'm concerned, his critics are agreeing ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados learsfool, you are a classical musician. You think and speak like a classical musician. By now you should realize that "all" musicians don't even live in the same world, even when they only live blocks apart. I'm sure the jazz musicians I knew had... | |
| Jazz for aficionados When I first heard Wynton Marsalis, "We've got a new worlds best trumpet player" are the thoughts that ran through my mind. Wynton was playing with Blakey at that time.After he went on his own, I bought every album as soon as it hit the record sto... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Tenderly, Love For Sale, Summertime, Laura, Round Midnight; those are songs somebody wrote. They've been around for ages, and played by jazz musicians, popular musicians, rock musicians, and possibly even country and western musicians. A person ca... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Isochronism, could you give us your favorites by Freddie Hubbard? |
