Jazz for aficionados
I know you’re holding a grudge.The man's arrogance is breathtaking. In order to disagree with him you must be holding a grudge?? Besides, we never had an exchange in the other thread. Some guy said that the greatest Jazz players ever, were Chet Baker and Bill Evans. I begged to disagree. Now, if a true aficionado had heard that, (IMHO and all that BS, notwithstanding), he would have been outraged. I did say 'True Aficionado'. Agent Provocateur, maybe not. Cheers |
It’s true, it’s true! I didn’t believe it the first time I read it, but it IS possible to hear all the way in NY, the sound of a head exploding in Texas 😱 Well done Trentmenphis! Nice clip and nice analysis. Rok, please, lighten up. Re “the other thread”: “exchange” takes different forms; and I believe you know exactly what I mean. A little disingenuous...maybe? “Breathtaking arrogance”? Geez! Please, lighten up, it’s all in good fun. Easy to see; except maybe when one feels backed into a corner. Hey, speaking of quotes: “Which side of the bed did you get out from”? 😊 Check out Brazilian music besides Mendez. Some really great stuff. Cheers, no hard feelings. |
Trentmemphis, I would say that folks here mostly do not use stream services , so dont be shy with ytube. Here is an album recorded in 1953. probably few years before Getz or even Byrd made certain music more popular Laurindo Almeida and Bud Shank ’Brazilliance’ (vol 1) https://youtu.be/VJ1P24myqok https://youtu.be/jMa4H8Nn6cI https://youtu.be/f2LKeWZF5gA https://youtu.be/6eRKoe9QaHk https://youtu.be/ev1fV_0X0ZU Rok, the guy on the other thread (re Baker, Evans) was very ’poetic’ in his interpretation what he likes best. He was not offensive. Why antagonise? Better to post some other albums or players that are also playing beutiful music that he is perhaps unaware off. One of reasons that I post here (and forgive me for beeing pretentious) is to ’save’ some long forgotten music or players of complete oblivion. It is ungreatful task, I know, since my ’audience’ are mostly grumpy old men, but somebody got to do it. Also I rely little on silent majority of people who are just ’peeking’...if somebody hears and later listens something that is posted here, its great, even if I may not be aware of that |
Well said, Alex; we can always use a little poetry. Nice clip. https://youtu.be/1EwgvDvtqQs Edit: came through as one song “Atabaque”. Later Re your question. |
Frogman, I posted a whole album, not sure how you guys see it? Just a first song or complete? Edit:posted few more songs that I could find But, have another question for you, regarding modern vs old music? Does anybody compose ’classical’ music today,for exmp. in 18th centuty idiom? Or in any other, from the past? Is there a significant difference in orchestral or small ensemble compositions betwwen music from the past and today? I am asking, because of discussions that are happening here regarding new and old jazz. The sam type could be led about any popular music or form from last century. Why are people so sensitive about jazz? |
