Jazz for aficionados
Although Sax is my favorite instrument, I'm getting tired of it. (bad choice of words, but it's late) Looking at your list, the people I don't listen to on a regular basis are Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Lee Konitz, and Lenny Tristano. I suggest we set up some guidelines so that we'll know how to proceed,and when the review on that particular artist has concluded. When we decide to review an artist, all aficionados should agree to focus exclusively on that particular artist. Getting this thread to go as a unit in one direction is like trying to herd cats. I for one promise to go along with whatever guide lines are set up, and to focus on the artist in the spotlight, but it's quite evident that we need to do this before proceeding. Rok, that means you can keep "today's listen" to yourself, unless you are listening to the artist in the spot light. BTW you did a good job of reviewing and focusing on "Horace Silver". Enjoy the music. |
@Oroheus10, I agree that he needs to get more reviews. I saw Ahmad Jamal performing in Jazz clubs as well as in big crowd venues back in France and NYC. One of my favorite albums is Ahmad Jamal Trio Volume IV, that I listen to this LP at least once a week. For some reasons, He has more live concerts in Europe (especially in France) rather than in US. He is just fantastic and so unique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Sktqhz6GI enjoy the music... |
I have no objection to establishing some guidelines; but I also have no objection to NOT focusing exclusively on an artist and reviewing he/she thoroughly. I guess my concern is simply the notion of thinking that any one artist has been or would be reviewed "thoroughly" when there are still many recordings by that artist that haven't been looked at.
