Jazz for aficionados
Thanks for the Larry Young clips, nsp. Great stuff. I agree with your assessment of the various stages of his career. Nice organ sound on this early stuff; very “church”. Another favorite organist. Just plain fun rendition of this classic tune: https://youtu.be/H2R3o35fA14 |
@nsp Ideally, this would be a forum to discuss jazz and jazz only. But would you remain silent when someone posts this stuff? I can't, and no one who gets jazz should either. <<Slavery was the best thing that ever happened to Black folks.(got them out of Africa) (a green card was not an option in the 1600’s.)>> <<Jim Crow was the second best thing that ever happened to Black folks.>> What's disappointing is that I've been the only one to call Rok out on this post. How can this be? Get rid of the blinders and stop pretending nothing's wrong. |
Keegiam, you are not the only one who thinks that such post is out of the place, but, the Rok has a history of such expressions, its better not to take him serious. If we would react on every such move, this place would soon end up beeing a place where we discuss jazz music. There is a good example about it, just few pages earlier. So, it can be sad, that perhaps we got used to it, which of course does not excuses us, but its perhaps a lesser evil in comparation to likely desintegration of forum in case we start to answer to each other on every such sentence that we might object. Since there are just a few people writing here anyway (there are lots more views, but no actual responses or contributions) maybe it is a wise thing to do.Personally, part of me sometimes screams with a wish to say few things, but I am quite sure that it could be also very easily taken as offense by someone, but to what point? Pick your battles where it make sense to fight them... |
