Jazz for aficionados
Like you said Rok, so much depends on WHEN in the discussion of jazz. I recall when I was taking the last train from St. Louis to Lackland AFB San Antonio Texas, and it was about the same time Moody came out with "Last Train From Overbrook". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2j3ImSF7m4&list=RDJ2j3ImSF7m4&start_radio=1 This is beautiful music that projects the feeling of actually being on a train; I could hear this music playing in my head on the train ride all the way into San Antonio. |
Some political views; thank you 🙄 Speaking of nuance, remember it is not just between Rok and I; it is between the whole of the Jazz community and Rok (and O-10, sometimes, mostly, when he needs Rok’s approval 😊). He, of course, knows better than anyone what the true motivations for the expressed opinions of Jazz greats and musicologists are; not to mention what the nuances of the inner workings of music industry politics are. One becomes an expert on those things in HS band ☺️ Btw, I love Abbey Lincoln. A unique voice who wrote some very interesting songs; many with social consciousness themes. https://youtu.be/YTeacoeAm9o Btw, I do have to be careful. More importantly, I welcome and am still waiting for intelligent reactions and comments about my earlier examples to O-10 on Swing/Bop. Please make it more than “you’re wrong”. Why is always nice. Stretch out, you can do it. I promise it won’t hurt.....probably. |
Rok, Abbey is slightly off center; she has more style than voice and you have to be attuned to what she's singing. A live performance is a lot different than a record; it's possible that Rok would have agreed with you Alex. But even when she doesn't have the voice of some of the other Diva's, I like her style. |
Say guys I heard something that really grabbed me; it was all so "normal" that was why I wondered why it grabbed me. Tell me if this grabs you; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOtUIMrJUyc&list=RDJ2j3ImSF7m4&index=3 |
