Jazz for aficionados
Rok, I'm beginning to like this "old" music, it's familiar, and it harkens back to a better time. The "boogie woogie" was the music of my childhood, and I recall music clips of the "jitterbug"; that's what "Jumpin At The Woodside" brings to mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D91IBtXARbM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdWgHtTau48 Enjoy the music. |
Rok, I hate to get into that "audiophile thingy", but Gene Harris is probably the most subtle and nuanced jazz pianist I can think of, which is why the crazy people pay so much for some of his records, especially with the Three Sounds. You can get around that "very expensive" audiophile thingy with HD downloads, but here you must follow precise rules in order to get what you want. I have WAV and that's not working out so good. This is the reason we had the disagreement about the "Three Sounds" CD's. I only mention this because I know how much you like Gene Harris. Enjoy the music. |
*****Rok, I'm beginning to like this "old" music****** It ain't old O-10, It's just Jazz. People(like me), who listen to Mozart, never say they are listening to 'old' classical music. Not even Bach is called old, Just great muaic. Beware of any music with a prefix. Esp, modern, free, avant garde and contemporary, etc... Just use the prefix ' NON ', that would be more accurate.

O-10 The dancers were awesome!! In that sort of performance TIMING, is everything. Miss a beat and a person could leap into the air and kiss the floor, or get his head kicked in. My favorite growing up was 'pine top' boogie woogie. I think that was the name. One of the things that stood out about the dancers was that, there were no fat folks. I guess this was before the 'heavy' or 'a few extra pounds' era. Not too many young folks can fly thru the air like that these days. And these dancers were not that young!! I have a dvd about the temptations. Several shots of 'Band stand' and other scenes of young people dancing. Not a fat girl to be seen. Reminds me of my school days. I bet you could not find 10 guys in NYC that could fit into the outfits worn by the temptations. :) Thanks for sharing Cheers |
