Jazz for aficionados
Kathleen Battle sure is pretty, I'd rather look at her than hear her sing; but that's the "subjective" opinion of a jazz aficionado. You just can not have Christmas without Mahalia Jackson's "Silent Night"; she convey's the religious aspect of Christmas like no one else, it's almost supernatural, and that's not as subjective as one might think, because people in London England will agree with me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRpMc5OVHnc Enjoy the music. |
Acman3: ****If he had been around from 1955, and died in 1963, AND played on Blue Note you would love him.**** You know what? I think you are correct. But to play for Blue Note in 1955, aha, he would have been a different player. :) Also, I am only speaking of this one tune. I am not trashing the guy totally. They are all magicians to some degree. And in that sense, I love them all. Suppose the only Miles, or the first Miles, I had heard, had been 'Bitches Brew'!! That would be the only CD of his I would own. At least, until I could sell it. I am sure Harrell is a good player. I do admire him, after learning of his condition. And he does know his way around a trumpet. Woods is still fat! Cheers |
Another sweet group from the 80's. Offsprings of Mingus, and on BLUE NOTE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF6jTm3dsc0 |
Acman3: Very nicer tune. I have three CDs by Pullen. 'Live...Again', 'Kele Mou Bana' and 'Random Thoughts'. I will give them another listen and rerport. The CD 'Breakthrough' that the clip was from, is now offered by 'these sellers' for $443.51 new! So I probably won't have that one. Nice tune. Thanks. Cheers |
