Jazz for aficionados

Frogman, like I said before, I have no problem with different music posted here, finally even if I dont listen it at the present, man can always learn something new. I wrote about it not long ago, for me and perhaps for some of the others (would like to hear their opinion too) is often the matter of 'tone', the way some musician plays and has his sound, the crucial thing for 'liking' or disliking some music.
I have said, that there are numerous 'jazz jazz' players that I do not listen, because I do not 'like' enough their sound.
For example,its realy hard for me to get accustomed to the sound of electric keyboard or synth in some of the music that goes under 'fusion'.
So I admit, there is a long way ahead of me...
But, as a principle I do not see the reason why should not we exchange thougts and suggestions and especially if it comes from 'inside', from someone like you or Lfsl, who are musicians by trade.
If we all would like and know the same musi, no matter of which style, it would be quite boring forum and your words are certainly true.
My hope is that you will not run out of patience and that you take some of the words said here lighthearted.
As for the clip I could not see it, sometimes some music has issues with rights or countries where it can be seen, I guess.

Alex, as always, a thoughtful post. We have absolutely no disagreement. I have no issue with your attraction to the tone of a player and I completely understand not liking the sound of electric instruments. The reason that I enjoy dialoguing with you is that not only do you "leave the door open" for yourself, you do not insist that someone else’s door be shut. While I would encourage you to keep that door open, I assure you that I would have no issue if you were to decide to close it. The difference, of course, is whether there is respect for the other viewpoint. That process is what has caused discord on this thread unfortunately.

Tone and its importance in the scheme of things is such an interesting thing. I mentioned in my previous post Jackie McLean; brilliant jazz player. However, perhaps because I play the same instrument, I hate his "tone"; it is rough, ragged and not very refined. However, I love his jazz playing. The often mentioned Wynton Marsalis has a tone on the trumpet that is amazing; to die for. Yet, I don’t like his playing. A very personal thing; as it should be.  As you say, no reason that there cannot be a healthy exchange of ideas.

Patience? I’m still here. Regards.

Actually Frogman played Saturday Dance off the same recording, not the one I played. I don't see another poster of that.

Is this fusion? or is it jazz??
