Jazz for aficionados
Jazzcourier, Mintons, a small joint in New York city, could hardly be called a "Public forum". Rok, if the JATP is your concept of jazz, that was dead a long time ago. Some reasons for the death of jazz are quite controversial, some aren't, like economics for example. Beyond the death of jazz in this country, it has evolved in other parts of the world. Here's one example of the evolution of jazz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2iGwIl-qig Enjoy the music. |
"Rok, if the JATP is your concept of jazz, that was dead a long time ago" Well, I guess I was duped into thinking it was Jazz. But it did say Jazz on the cover of the CD. And the reviews I read said it was Jazz. But the thing that really sucked me in, was the guys in the band! I thought I read somewhere that Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Ella Fitzgerald etc.... were Jazz musicians. I guess not. Boy, I feel like a chump now. But I do want to thank you for exposing me to some 'real' Jazz. That Youn Sun Nah is something!! And to think, I used to think Ella Fitzgerald could sing!! I see now I have been misled. I spent three years in Korea and never knew they did Jazz, let along at such a high level. WOW!! Thanks O-10. I think, for the first time, I completely and truly understand your concept of Jazz. What can one say? (amadeus) Cheers |
