Jazz for aficionados
My local Ford dealer treats all his customers as if they are audiophiles. He charges about 300 dollars extra for filling the tires of his NEW cars with pure Nitrogen.It cost me thirty bucks in Canada to fill my Toyota with nitrogen.... 😁😊 Ok i apologize for my astonishing surprize and post, i will go back to "impressions of a patch of blue" a great Dickerson album indeed... |
Don't laugh. Not everyone knows the atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Just like hardly anyone knows the number one greenhouse gas is water vapor. Or that CO2 is a trace element measured in ppm. And even then, less today than at any time in the entire geologic history of the planet. Which includes the Cambrian, when it was 40 times greater, and that era is called the Cambrian Explosion, the greatest period of new species creation ever. Yet look around how many are so ignorant of reality they think we should be afraid of it. No, I would not be too quick to laugh at the car dealer. He just looks around, sees how gullible and scientifically illiterate the average person is, and does what comes naturally. |

Re: Bob Berg. Finally caught up with all the clips posted over the last week. Lots of listening and reading tonight. I'm astounded by two things: his playing and how I've skated through the jazz world for so many years without knowing him. Whew, thanks! For Pete's sake, I saw Joe Locke in London BEFORE he recorded with Berg, and I'm very familiar with DeFrancesco. It appears neither is anywhere near the giant Berg was. Not to mention he was with Miles for 3 years (and Corea too). This is downright embarrassing, but better late than never. Especially love "Snakes," "Neptune" and "Bolivia" (the latter with Cedar Walton). Rather than share other Bob Berg music I found tonight, I'll add this 1998 interview "Five of my Favorite Recordings." Very cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QTaVR384Gc |
