Jazz for aficionados
Ravi Coltrane, son of John and Alice Colrane. His dad passed away when he was two years old.

Billy Vaughn, **** Although not "jazz jazz" I like the music, and I was wondering; "What do you think"? **** Not my cup of tea, O-10. When you said it's "not jazz-jazz" I assumed it would have some semblance to jazz. Doesn't do it for me. Pretty tuneful stuff, but very hokey; although, nothing like a good melody. Still, the kind of stuff that reminds me of the music scores from early 70s TV shows like "That Girl" and "The Flying Nun". Touted as a "multi-instrumentslist", I think that Billy Vaughn was more of a "Easy Listening" orchestra leader. As an instrumentalist (sax, flute) he was pretty bad. I would put this music along side Lawrence Welk conceptually, but on a lower level of craft; Lawrence Welk's orchestra was GREAT. |
Frogman, although your assessment is fairly accurate, this just shows that music outside the genre, can still sound good to some individuals. Maybe it's because of the selection of the tunes he decided to record, plus the cover art puts one in the mood for the sea shore; I can just feel the ocean spray when the waves crash on the rocks. I like all of the tunes recorded, and the music fits the tunes; we'll see what Ghosthouse thinks about it. Enjoy the music. |
Billy Vaughn: Windmills of your mind. Great tune, but undistinguished version by Vaughn. Neil Diamond and/or Johnny Mathis are much better according to my analysis. No? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OohatUzO-gQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgNkK-P_Ea4 Cheers |
