Jazz for aficionados
I had said that meaning that even if we dont favor a genre or style a lot there exist anyway many exceptions... I dont favor fusion as such but i own dozen and dozen of more than just good fusion music...😉 I dont like klezmer but Zorn has created some interesting music inspired by it ... I listen musicians more than genres or styles....😊 There is no music, only musicians... 😁 |
curiousjim, impossible question to answer. As a leader, Tales From The Hudson is up there with Time is of the Essence and, of course, his last album Pilgrimage. Pilgrimage is fantastic and I love it in part for sentimental reasons….if you know what he was going through battling the disease that ultimately killed him. A very sad event in the music scene. Then there is the question of favorite solos. So many , on so many different album s including the Fusion and even the Pop stuff. His work with Joni Mitchell is incredible. James Taylor, Michael Franks, Paul Simon, on and on. Then there is the issue of favorite tone. His tone evolved over the years. Always great, but definitely different over time. I have a soft spot for his early sound. This is the first recording of his that I ever heard. In High School, I’ll never forget when my band director brought this in for the class to listen to: https://youtu.be/l-b_h8i9eWU?si=MVWU47ryewSCAUih

I am amazed by the sheer potential numbers of really great jazz albums i never heard of... I come here for information and it is successful for me... Thanks to all ....😊 But it is very hard to cope with all amazing propositions in the same month ! we must choose... 😂 I choose Brecker brothers for this month after Jamie Saft last few weeks... ....I must say frogman recommendation help a lot to pick the right one... I am a classical and world music amateur but also of jazz... I dont understand why jazz was so low and so less loved in the music charts... Most people received no musical education then a bit too sophisticated line is put aside... We dont appreciate enough what a treasure music could be way more than leisure... Especially now... We are lucky....
