Jazz for aficionados
One of My Favorites A simple yet incredible performance. Impossible for anyone to listen to this and not be moved I would think. Is it jazz? |
*****A simple yet incredible performance. Impossible for anyone to listen to this and not be moved I would think. Is it jazz?****** People of her era had to sing without the aid of electrical amplification. You filled the room by having a powerful voice. Sort of like Paul Robeson. Very moving song. Is it Jazz? I wouldn't say so. This and Jazz, are two branches on the same tree. But, she did perform at a lot of Jazz festivals, and that is The Duke on the cover. Let's just say, it's great music. Cheers |
*****The people claiming to save it, will be the one's who put it in a museum for preservation.****** Some of the people trying to save it, feel that, just because some guy paints a Soup Can, you don't go throw the Mona Lisa in the trash. That's all. Come to think, Jazz could learn something from the world of artist that paint. They hang Warhol's Soup Cans right next to Picasso's Guernica, which hangs right next to Rubens' Nudes and him next to da Vinci's Mona Lisa etc...... They value their Greats. Cheers |
*****Not sure whether you are serious or not; it is, of course, not true.****** Comes under the heading of "messin' with The Frogman". However I have never seen a conductor act like that. I like a show. Remember the French guy? Lenny? Being our resident Guru, of course we expect an explaination. Cheers |
Today's Listen: Art Blakey -- !!!!!impulse!!!!!art blakey!!!!!jazz messengers!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nghsczow3kM O-10, I agree with you once again. The best Jazz messengers group ever. Shorter, Timmons, Morgan and Fuller. I listened to it twice. Great playing by all. Why was there so much turnover in the groups? Did Blakey see that as his 'mission'? Was it by design? Talk. Cheers |
