Jazz for aficionados

Rok, you asked the questions at 02:09PM and I re-posted your question at 03:56 PM,and it is now 08:25PM. When are we going to get answers? I'm patient, I can wait till the swallows come back to Capistrano, or the cows come home, whichever comes first.

Do you think your questions will get answered?


In the meantime, enjoy the music, I know I am

***** Do you think your questions will get answered?*****

They say doing the same thing, over and over, and expecting a different result each time is a good definition of insanity.

I ain't crazy.  So no, there will be no answer, there never has been one, and for a good reason.

That reason is,  the real 'problem' here is that some people just resent not being  treated as Oracles.  Oracles were beings in human form, thru whom the gods spoke.   No discussion,  No disagreement,  and no opposing opinions allowed.   You just listen.

This is in spite of the fact that we always deferred to their musical expertise on matters of an academic or factual nature.   But even so, on occasion, we still had the temerity to think for ourselves.  To express our opinions.   We just weren't submissive enough.   It's as Simple as that.

That is what we don't / didn't  'get'.

Cheers

OK, I found that discography of Julius Watkins, for those interested. The Blue Note recordings I mentioned are simply titled The Julius Watkins Sextet, Vols. 1 and 2.  Other albums he was the leader on:

French Horns For My Lady/Philips
The Jazz Modes/Atlantic
The Most Happy Fella/Atlantic
Four French Horns Plus Rhythm/Elektra
Mood in Scarlet/Dawn
Smart Jazz for the Smart Set/Seeco

There are couple of others that he is the leader on that appear to be compilations.  

As far as the answers to your questions -  you both know very well that both Frogman and I have multiple times on this thread over the years offered very good suggestions about where and how to learn more about music.  Anyone can easily go back through the thread and find them.  You will also notice that each time, we were vilified for it, by the both of you.  O-10 in particular seems very proud of his ignorance, and is even more adamant than Rok about his refusal to learn any more.  I remember once, in a fit of despondency, I even posted that this suggested that he didn't really love music nearly as much as he thought he did, though I did retract that later.  You both know all of this, yet you post those silly questions anyway - we know you are not really serious about it.  I won't post any more appeals on this thread for you to educate yourselves, but I will correct gross errors, such as the comment O-10 made that if someone is performing three times a week, he doesn't need to practice.  I had a good long laugh over that one.  If I didn't laugh, I would have to cry over the serious lack of knowledge you have for what you love so much, and the misperceptions and misunderstandings this causes, that could be so easily fixed if you just made a little effort.  

Meanwhile, I would be happy to talk about jazz, and learn about more great albums that I have never heard - I would love to relate much more about Julius Watkins, for instance, or other horn players in the jazz world, if anyone is really curious to know.  If not, you can search for those albums I listed in my previous post if you want to hear him as a leader, though they are very hard to find - I have only heard about half of them ever, myself.   I have really enjoyed this thread, and I keep coming back to it despite the silliness.  

Learsfool, I have had a number of musician friends, and none of them tried to educate me in music. Rok, wanted to know something about music and you answered his questions, that's good.


FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, I DO NOT KNOW SQUAT ABOUT MUSIC, NOR DO I WANT TO KNOW SQUAT ABOUT MUSIC; IS THAT CLEAR, FROGMAN, LEARSFOOL, AND EVERYONE ELSE ON "AUDIOGON".
