| Jazz for aficionados Rok, even though you're prone to take things out of context, I like you anyway; but if there was one big "Bird", and a lot of little birds imitating big "Bird", that was too many birds. In regard to "Birds" stature, that's unquestionable.Many of t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, it's delight to have you on this thread, not only are you a jazz aficionado, but you're a musician as well. Although I never thought about West Coast from a musical perspective (the softer tone) that's quite accurate. West coast jazz had ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, I have empathy for all human beings, especially musicians, and I hope your friend Mr. John Purcell gets better. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jimmy giuffre opening for jazz on a summers day is my best example of West coast jazz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfLsEH4csQ4 Chico Hamiltons "Topsy" is another good one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fE73sAZxlENow you're an aficionado of W... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, the definition of "West Coast" jazz is very elusive. That's because the same musicians also played East Coast, as well as "No Coast" jazz. It's kind of like "bouillabaise", you have to try a spoonful. No description can be quite appropriate, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In an earlier post I stated that Charlie Parker's spell was cast too strong over jazz in the 50's. While that was true, it was impossible not to come under the "Bird's" spell. He played jazz in so many different ways that they couldn't be classifi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, as I stated on an earlier post, if I'm not "resonant" to the music being played, it sounds like noise. It's for sure I'm not resonant to that music, but this is joke isn't it.Enjoy the music | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you were absolutely correct in assuming we could skip over the usual suspects. That first LP led me to a gold mine. Curtis Counce, Shelly Manne, Andre Previn, Bud Shank, Jimmy Giuffre, are all proponents of the West Coast jazz that I'm se... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Charlie Mariano is one of those musicians, I saw out of the corner my eye; meaning he was around, but I just didn't see him. I also discovered what we wont discuss, in consideration of Rok's sensitivities.Good "West Coast" jazz is somethi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Soul Jazz", that sounds like an appropriate name for the music presented by this aggregation. However, I beg to differ in regard to the home thing. I picture myself seated at a table with a beautiful lady who enjoyed jazz even more than me. Kenne... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Foster, the key to finding what you're looking for is the time. My recorded version is 7 minutes long while that was 18 minutes long. The biggest difference is Horace's long "unrestrained" solo. That goes for "Senor Blues" as well. Although I've g... | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... Since cartridges are musically dependent, I never recommend one. The TT can be upgraded substantially by tweaks. Incognito tone arm rewire, heavy weight for the arm, and "Groovetracer delux subplater". Those three tweaks made a substantial improve... | |
| Got Ears? After you develop golden ears, they become a curse; although I must admit they come in handy for acquiring holographic sound. After I got what I wanted, I tossed my beautiful pair of "audiophile" golden ears out the window. Now I have a brand new ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Foster, I understand why you said "Oh my Lord!" That was beyond words. I feel fortunate to have heard and seen it. Thank you much.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados We made a wrong turn, I hope we can acknowledge that fact, drop it 100% and move on. Otherwise we all lose.Never before have I been in a conversation with so many astute jazz aficionados. They can contribute to the most important aspect of an audi... |
