For Musicians Only:
Much better. Great Sax playing by both. Dizzy a little more subdued.
I wonder if there is any significance to the title.
Cheers
Jazz for aficionados
Killer bebop session and definitely a must-have record. One of the best and a testament to Stan Getz’ greatness; he could do it all. The story behind the title has nothing to do with any kind of distinction between musician and listener. Rather, it was to suggest a distinction between the real players (musicians) and the wannabes. Bebop was, to a great extent, a “test” of a jazz player’s “stuff”. With the blinding fast tempos and intricate melodies many bebop tunes posed a great challenge for players and not all of them could pull it off credibly. In fact, during jam sessions players would sometimes call tunes that were especially intricate and would count them off at really fast tempos in order to keep lesser players from joining the jam session. The title’s meaning is akin to that of this other record; one of my favorite jazz record titles as well as favorite record: Hank Mobley’s “No Room For Squares”: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0C6579B036180F3A |
acman3, Same way that great artists in every genre have become great in prisons, whore houses , utter poverty etc etc etc etc, by putting your mind , body and soul into your music . Simple logic determines with 8 billion folks on this planet we have no idea who is the best and if such a thing even exists . |
