Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon?

Clueless: Yeah, you're probably right about my handle. Actually, I see a very strong relationship between straight-ahead jazz and, say, Texas-style blues. But, I also have to agree with Marakanets; styles are really details. Music is basically 3 time-space phenomena: Melody, Couterpoint, Rhythmn. If there is one thing that characterizes jazz for me, it's the rhythmic expression--the swinging expression of notes. For me, it doesn't matter if this is found in Charlie Parker's "Now Is The Time," or Oingo Boingo's "Elevator Man," if it's got it, it swings, and I'm never going to get tired of it!

I own more jazz than any other kind of music. From Lee Morgan on Blue Note (1950's) to Paul Motian and Gonzalo Rubalcaba last year. There are so many great Jazz artists, it's impossible to listen to them all.

I must also allow time for rock and roll, blues, (a little) opera and classical. It would be easier to control my music library if I didn't like so many different kinds of music.

Great music out there. Then and now, and not enough time to put a dent in listening to it. Figure, on a couple of hours a day. What's that in the scheme of 500 hundred+ CDs. I have more of a problem just trying to decide on what not to listen to. 2 hours is 2 hours. How much can you really listen to in that time? It is a wonderful couple of hours, though, when I have it.... peace, warren

I loves me some jazz!

I have bought more Jazz in the last several years than ever before. With the improvement of the sound of my system I find myself appreciating more different music, Jazz being the biggest volume increase.
I just got a Paco Pastorius LP today that I've wanted for a long time. CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT!
