Jazz for aficionados

Frogman, I wish that you reconsider your decision. Try not to take it so serious, lots of stuff that is said here is actually 'lost in translation', because of a form of this forum. Things are never written in 'real time', and there is a constant delay, plus, there is always a chance that 'tone'of some post could be missunderstood.On the other side, people from different sides of the world, 'talking' to each other, despite all above mentioned obstacles, about things that they love, that is almost a small wonder. Few times I thought how nice it would be to see you guys, all siting at the same table. I dont know nothing personaly about any of you, but I am certain that you would enjoy each others company 'in flesh'.So, please, once more, dont take it so hard. I am sure that the 'discussion' has its low points, but many more great ones.

Rok, am I glad you're back; not only has Frogman been misinterpreting every thing I say, but he's been rewriting my posts, and coming up with something completely different from what I said originally.

If "present day jazz" is neither definable or clearly identifiable, then it has to be some kind of "mutation". It's often been stated that current musicians should simply drop the "jazz" title and come up with a new name, also they could specify; is it: Soul Jazz, Free Jazz, Acid Jazz, Kenny G. Jazz, Rock Jazz, Blue Grass Jazz, Latin Jazz, Brazilian Jazz, or jazz mixed with classical music, not to be confused with "Classic Jazz", which is Jazz Jazz.

Frogman, while I've enjoyed and appreciated your very informative posts, I think you should start a new thread specifying precisely what it is you're looking for. Not only would I post on it, but I would even research whatever it is you're looking for and trying to get across.

While I have appreciated your expertise as a professional musician, I have absolutely 100% no intentions of becoming one myself, and for Learsfool who seems to chime in on my refusal to learn the technical aspects of music, "I consider this ignorance BLISS", and I hope this closes that door permanently.

When you start your new Thread that spells out precisely what you're looking for, I will be the first to post on it.

Enjoy the music.

Alexatpos, the term "invincible ignorance" is a theological one.
It exists because at some point you continuing effort to show an ignorant person the light simply drives them ever deeper into ignorance at which point you duty is to simply cease and desist.

He is a Master of the Strawman.

Just ordered CDs by Morgan, Dinah, Ellington and Timmons. Will report when I get them.

Cheers

Everyone put on some jazz + chill. 😎
