Jazz for aficionados

Pryso, tell me what's readily available on vinyl by Rashan that you purchased recently, it might still be available.

Rok, your post just made my night, it was spot on; we don't listen to jazz (meaning you and I) we perceive it. By that, I mean all the generations of musicians that went into it, before the one we're listening to, and I know Frogman can not understand that.

The same goes for the Delta Blues, we can hear the suffering of the generations that lived on plantations in shotgun shacks; what can you hear when listening to Blues from the UK, it's got to be counterfeit as far as you and I are concerned.

To perceive the music goes much further than simply listening to it. Since that post was primarily addressed to you, and not Frogman, he misunderstood it.


I have just began my stroll through the valley of the shadow of death, therefore I have no idea what to expect, other than a lot of different doctors; I'm not going VA, and being in your prayers means a lot because I know you are a sincerely religious man.

Orpheus10 I am truly sorry to hear of your health problem. My mom died  from breast cancer at 58 yo and my younger sister died just last year from lung cancer at 50 yo (she never smoked). I have been lucky so far...
Jack Teagarden's record Misry and the Blues is a really great blues/balled record with just one dixie swing tune. It really showcases his talent on the trombone and he does have  cool crooning vocal ability.

I am still waiting on the other record I bought here;

Quote second review:
These four discs are truly the best of Jack Teagarden. The selections on all four discs are perfect, with no duds, and the engineering quality is high. The stand-out is Disc Four, which is mostly groups with Teagarden and Louis Armstrong playing together. This material (also the last 3 selections on disc 3) features both Teagarden and Armstrong at their very best, mostly in live recordings - two musicians at the peak of their games spurring each other on and taking obvious pleasure playing together. In fact, I would choose many of these selections as the "best of the best" for Louis Armstrong as well as Teagarden. It includes the very best versions I know of Armstrong classics like "Ain't Misbehavin","Rocking Chair", "Black and Blue", "Royal Garden Blues", "Mahogany Hall Stomp", and "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans". I had never heard "Fifty-fifty Blues" but it is now one of my all-time favorite Armstrong-Teagarden performances.
