| Jazz for aficionados ****An interesting point is that while it may be called communism, in truth, it's nothing but a dictatorship****Interesting indeed; a very important distinction and absolutely correct. The term "Communism" sometimes conjures up, in the minds of th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I agree with much of what you wrote about Cuba; although, in at least one case, for possibly different reasons.After many years of being a supporter of the embargo I came to support to support the lifting of the embargo several years ago; he... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you completed missed the thrust of what I was saying re the influence of the native music on the "Hollywoodization" of it on soundtracks. Also, interesting that you suggest we "do the math" since math is an important element in the building b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yours is certainly a provocative stance; and, worthy of consideration. Here's the problem for me, and many others: The African influence in Caribbean music (since we are focusing on Cuban music right now I will put the subject of jazz aside) is th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****They don't exist there now, because odds are,they never did. Music in the West created and played by people of African decent, does not mean the orgin is African. Just like in the U.S. People are forever trying to connect the Blues, Jazz and G... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, Afro Cuban All Stars is a great place to start; I will let you take the lead with that. Their great sound is, overall, more traditional than this band, NG La Banda, who were responsible for literally creating "timba", the hottest musical sty... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I completely understand. I'm not exactly constantly running for my Dolphy records when I can listen to so many others. But, man, that solo in that Mingus clip is so out and bizarre that I can't help but love it; or his solo on Nelson's "Blues And ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A terrible shame. And to think that he died because the doctors at the hospital where he was taken thought that the diabetic coma that he was suffering was a reaction to substance abuse since he was, after all, a jazz musician; they then waited fo... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Exactly right; at 2:30. Excellent!:-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rahsaan WAS amazing! One of a kind. I think McCoy (and Rahsaan) were definitely channeling Trane in that performance. McCoy with chord voicings reminiscent of his work with Trane's Qt., and Rahsaan with......Well, let's have some fun. Now that you... |
