Jazz for aficionados
Per pjw’s comments re Herbie Hancock. Whatever one may think of electronic music, fusion, funk, whatever one wants to call it, when the playing is on such a high level it doesn’t much matter what one calls it. Purists will say that this record is not on the same level as some of his acoustic offerings. I disagree. In its way, this record is a masterpiece. https://youtu.be/3m3qOD-hhrQ |
Easier to do when your bank accounts are healthy for sure .The Twin Cities , per capita . have the most Forbes 500 executives of any American City .Hence , a lot of uber rich bi-wigs on the Minnesota Orchestra Board . They shut the Orchestra down for 2 years because they felt 90K per year is too much to pay a musician . . |
Conversation with Andrei Tarkovski, movie director. Funny, you can hear some exact same words as Frogman says (about film/music not beeing created in vacuum and about influences of one artist on another) or about finding his personal expression If you have time,very interesting to hear, a great artist perspective...starts around 3rd.min...) https://youtu.be/4JRfeshEboI Regarding H.H.maybe its master piece....but in a specific genre? What truly defines something as master piece? Time? |
frogman Big Kenny Dorham (the uncrowned champion as Art Blakey called him) fan as I am I would like your opinion on how Tommy Flanagan handled himself on the following song. I know its nowhere near as complicated as Coltrane's Giant Steps but it has a few challenges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUz-6CZXWO4 |
