Not in favor of limiting this thread at all. I don't even think it should be limited to Jazz.
I DO think we should all try to post the most excellent music we can find. i.e. A Noise-Free zone. Regardless of genre.
Cheers
Jazz for aficionados
Alex, when the vast majority of people who like widely differing genres of music, besides jazz are saying the same thing, it's time to listen. I don't know for how long now, but "all" genres of music have become crap. I hear this same thing on other forums; while it's for sure I'm not an expert on Country and Western, they seem to be saying the same thing as I am about jazz, the more recent, the worse the music is. If I notice the same thing over and over, there must be something to it; the more current the music, the more it sucks, and that goes for all genres. Regardless what we are saying, none of us are coming up with good examples of current music; as hard as Acman is trying, his current music is a flop, but he still posts very good music that's not so current. While I am not the judge of what is and what is not, my judgments seem to blow in the direction of the prevailing winds, and after all the talk, the music you post seems to back me up. |
orpheus10 Agree with your comment of " no concern for humanity, only money , and the politicians see it goes to the 1% , minus their commision. Not sure if and how it relates to music and jazz specifically, but for sure it is a most accurate statement concerning our political system. I really liked that cut you posted by John Handy & Ali Akbar Khan. I think this next cut is similar in nature and thought you might like it: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ax4K-3UZOzg Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis cut many albums in that style.Search them out.
