Every study I've seen shows Jazz AND Classical combined are listened to by 2% of American Public. Of course thats 6 million souls. I'm lucky , the college where I live has a Jazz Studies program that Downbeat has rated #1 in US 3-4 times. Has 3 big bands and numerous ensembles giving free to cheap concerts many times from Sept to Mat + visiting artists etc. I believe about 300 majors . Decent classical and vocal concerts as well. A mini Indiana. |
I am reposting with (hopefully) working links. Agree about Michelle Rosewoman. And like Chazro points out, not for the faint-hearted; but, man her stuff is interesting! One of the most creative musicians on the Latin scene; she kills! Where's ONE?! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sHhZAIs8XrA This intro is just beautiful! The great Howard Johnson plays some beautiful penny-whistle (!) and then kills on tuba. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ60HyN9Eos And some keep claiming that jazz is dead?! |
Various -- THE BEST JAZZ TUNES OF 1960 Various -- THE BEST JAZZ TUNES OF 1961 From the same people that produced the "100 Best Jazz Tunes of the 1950s" The sound quality is of the same high standard. As before, all top tier players and groups. More lesser known tunes, but that is a good thing. Nice notes in the inserts with good pictures. Nice package. 2 CDs in each set. I felt that the 'middle' was sort of weak on Coltrane's 'Giant Steps' and Ornette Coleman's 'Blues Connotation'. At low levels it can disappear. That Ornette gets better every time I hear him. ANDY BEY AND THE BEY SISTERS. This is great singing with awesome arrangements. Ain't got it, git it. This is the one on the 'prestige' label. I am listening to my second CD by Bey and his sisters now. Another great one I think! Cheers |
