| Jazz for aficionados There's always something to buy! Never heard of this until tonight. Now I have to have the DVD, if it exists. Love Christmas music. I wonder if The Frogman is in this one?Am I the only one that didn't know of Ellington's Nutcracker Suite? Fess up!... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Stanley Turrentine was probably the first Jazz Saxophone player I got into. These are the first two of his LPs / CDs I purchased. They both made the cut to CD, which means I like them.But I have to confess, I was highly influenced by the album cov... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The African Youtubes:I agree with you. The sound is just too monotonous. Maybe the music is just not sophisticated in structure. Good for maintaining voodoo trances?Damn. When I typed that, my keyboard stopped working for a moment. :)On the positi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool:The major problem is that some people seem to think that every word uttered on this thread has to 'pass muster' with them, and some school house teachings. I beg to disagree. Read the OP's opening statement, which I just re-posted. This ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:Another relative newcomer. You know much about him? Such as, why does he wear that silly headgear?The clip shows nice street scenes of NYC. Don't think I could live in a place with that many people.And of course, the great Cassandra Wilson. A... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10:When I first became aware of Cecile, I was sort of put off by the album cover, I sort of dismissed her as some hip-hop type person. mainly because of the glasses. That shows the fallacy of assumptions!! I was wrong. After listening to the you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Professional Jazz Musicians Audiophiles ???I remember when 'Stereo Review' used to run a monthly thing called 'System of the Month,' and another series on the systems of well known Professional Musicians. The difference was amazing.The "System of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lest we forget:The OP's original intent:Jazz for aficionados "I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Cecile: Wow!http://www.npr.org/2013/06/05/188941161/c-cile-mclorin-salvant-making-old-songs-new-againCheck out the names. Fats Waller, Bessie Smith and even Valaidia Snow. I like her style!!I just hope there is a sufficient audience in this countr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Solomon was correct.Chet Baker, maybe the public understood him and just didn't like his stuff. OMG!!! Maybe he was so cool he was frozen. Maybe he put folks to sleep. Maybe he spent more time getting high than playing high notes.If you are an art... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now, in the interest of civility, I am done. As our wise OP once said, you and I speak different languages.Cheers | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I pointed out that KOB has probably introduced. more audiophiles to jazz than anything else. You then take that comment as an opportunity to bash audiophiles. Gee, I thought it was a positive that audiophiles might be exposed to jazz." I disagree... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The Frogman Says:"As I have pointed out there is a lot of nuance involved in all this and to undertand it makes one a better judge of not only the music, but of ulterior motives one may have for insisting on keeping oneself in one "camp" or anothe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The Frogman said:"As has already been pointed out this all began (this time round) with the Kaplan article. I expressed my disagreement with some of the points he made (one in particular) and you went on to bash the guy and call him a farce withou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados First, Rok said this:"Millions of people saying "I like it better", is why it's the best selling Jazz album of all time!!! It does cut it!!"Then The Frogman said:"Importantly, in all the subsequent audiophile-bashing in this discussion, not once w... |
