Jazz for aficionados

Alex, I liked your clip of Herbie Mann. I saw him in Chicago in 69, he was dressed immaculately; had on a tan continental suit, light brown highly polished boots, and his performance matched his appearance.

Nina Simone and Miles were on that same billing. Herbie was first, followed by Nina Simone, and Miles was last. Nina was everything and more than you could imagine her to be. Miles was last and late. Every body was talking about Miles new music, when at last "Here they come".

Miles was dressed in a buckskin suede vest with the long fringes hanging down, I don't remember what else he had on; he could have been naked, and I still would not have seen anything but the buckskin vest; "Jokes over, funny Ha Ha, now somebody go and fetch the real Miles".

Enjoy the music.

Frogman, I hope you would not mind me saying this, but perhaps you are the one that simply refuse to comprehend the fact that someone can actually understand what are you talking about, but still not like it. Music wise, I mean, of course. I cant speak in Rok's name, but there is no difference in any other type of art form. I dont belleive that any art lover appreciate equally all styles that emerged through time. In fact, knowledge works both ways, it can help you to like something, but can also confirm someones dislaking about certain subject. Rok is very unique in his expressing, but I dont think that you should take that as offensive or proof of his ignorance. As far as litlle I have read his posts, he had much worst thing to say about some other much more serious stuff than it is art, but still there is lot of self irony in his words, so it should not be held against him. I dont want that anyone gets the impression that I am holding any sides here (not do I think that there are here) but like I said, the music that we spoke recently is not my favourite, and not because I do not understand it or appreciate the creative forces behind its creation, but because it does not correspond with my inner being,no matter if revives and readapts time and space, if it fails to emarge me in its world than I choose to listen something else that it does.

'If you cant fight them, join them'...Buster Williams, from year 1979. Played with Miles, Hancock,etc. Considered as one of the great 'sideman's. On this record 'Heartbeat' he is joined with Kenny Barron on piano...

Alexatpos, I don't mind at all, and I appreciate your comments; I always appreciate honest and well thought out discourse. However, in my opinion there is a world of difference between saying what you said about liking and not liking some art (which I mostly agree with) and the reasons why, and calling it noise and by noise makers. As far as Rok' s style goes, well we all have a style, no?

Decided not to go to the gym today. Will get my daily exercise while doing my Victory Dance!! hahahahahahahaha

Cheers
