C'mon Rok, now you're really being silly. What on earth does any of what you just posted have to do with what I wrote. I am well aware of the types of "fusion" that you were referring to. The problem (as if you didn't know) is the general disrespect shown by you towards those who find value in fusion and other musics that you don't like and the artists who play it. You insist on going down that negative road and then you don't want to be called out on it. Re "education" and old folks in MS: best not to go there. I have some interesting jazz-jazz to post soon (and some fusion). Cheers.
Jazz for aficionados
Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

Frogman, that was interesting and educative post. Thanks. ***** Does that mean you like Nat Adderley more or less than you did before the "interesting and educational" post?. Do your ears now bleed when you hear Wynton? What impact does it have on your taste in Jazz? Allow me: It has no impact what so ever. Music is an emotional thingy, just like all Art. Critical analysis does not change how it affects a person, it's just nice to know information, good for academic study, or conversation over drinks. Nothing more. Damn, you people are hard headed!! Cheers |
****Critical analysis does not change how it affects a person,**** Absolutely not true; and certainly not true for everyone. Depends on the individual. The important distinction is that some individuals have an innate aversion to critical analysis. This fact in no way means that it is the case for everyone; and critical thinking and analysis can, in fact, have a profound impact on an individual's emotional reaction to art (and many other things). Some individuals are fearful of and feel threatened by the idea that there are things that they don't know or understand, and feel comfort and security in the idea that what they do know and understand is the only thing of value; like the old folks in MS. |
Of course that I like him just as same. But, have you ever asked yourself, why do you like something? I did, many times, for many different things and levels. In fact, that is very important question everyone should ask himself. More questions and answers, more self consciusness. Music is not equal as 'all Art', but that could lead us to even bigger debate in trying to determine what art is. Still, could be interesting? Music (or art) has only an emotional impact on you, but not necessarily for somebody or everybody else. Some things are perceptive thru mind or ratio only, but that does not stops us to appreciate them. Even more, when you first understand something, you may find the inner beauty of it, and than like it, like you did not before. There are many examples for it, not just in Art. I hope you would not get offended, but I expected more introspective thinking, because you seemed like a person with a big life expirience |
