| Jazz for aficionados I saw Ahmad in Chicago in the late 80's, and his drummer Frank Gant told me they had tickets to Japan, and that they could not make a living without Japan, and Europe. At that time, I didn't know this was so."Marseille", the title track is afford... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I never said her rough life helped her. I posted how she was regarded at 14 by the establishment.Miles sister lived in Chicago, and he visited her during the Christmas Holidays, while Ahmad was there at the Pershing lounge, plus Chicago was Ahmad... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Irony of ironies Mary_jo; I don't guess you knew that you posted one of Rok's most favorite tunes? Compared to What. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I stated that I couldn't find any new music, but maybe I was wrong. Ahmad Jamal's music requires that you "listen", not just put the album on while you're thinking about something else, and "Marseille" is just such an album.This is what "All Abou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lizz Wrights song "Stop", has attached itself to me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll_G4QFYVhA | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, and Frogman, someone asked her "What is the sound of red?" and her answer was a Zen kind of answer; like, what is the sound of one hand clapping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrWs--Ay62U | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, my review of the records you posted is coming; I just haven't had a chance to give them a critical listen. Although I'm usually familiar with the artists, those particular records are new to me, and occasionally, so is the artist.Keep em co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, those tunes go together like beans and cornbread. (that's a southern reference in case you don't get it)You're at the top of your game today, and when those tunes came out I was at the top of my game.Keep em coming. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thank you Frogman for adding equanimity to our recent posts. (mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation.) "she accepted both the good and the bad with equanimity" | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy"; I felt like that was my theme song in 66 because of the way the fickle finger of fate kept running through my life.Have you ever heard of the "Philly Dog", the dance that was done to that tune? Somebody in the audienc... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What upset me was that you seem to say that Billie's rough life helped her as a singer. Like being a prostitute at age 14, and being a drug addict, gives you 'soul' and 'passion' in your music. All BS, of course.Rok, who made the statement tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary_jo, you selected my number one "lost love song" sang by anybody.Rok is speaking of a voice that's not "aesthetically" beautiful; like Nancy Wilson's voice for example is aesthetically beautiful.No, my friend was not distant, he enjoyed people... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mary_J0, I'm so glad you're back. What you have selected is an indication of your exquisite taste.A person who is "Jazzy" is synonymous with jazzy music; the way they walk, talk, and dress with a "jazzy" style makes that person jazzy.Strange as i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This guy is the most impressive "new" musician I've heard. Like Lou Rawls, I only needed to hear him one time, and I was sold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJMY8vbkrEMIf only he would get rid of that hat (humor). Everything he does seems ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, that must have been one of Anita's best performances; not only was it what she wore, that black and white outfit with the fringed hat, but her style was too jazzy for words on that day, an unforgettable Summer day. |
