| Jazz for aficionados ****"That sounds like Lee Morgan", now back to that singing sax which brings out this tune as well as any vocalist"********I discovered this was "Star Eyes" off my Mosaic LP compilation, Mosaic MR4-106, The Complete Blue Note Recordings of The Tin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, how true, and I know that scenario well. More and more I show up to a freelance job where, first of all, I look around and ask myself "who are all these people?" (young!!; or perhaps more accurately: I'm getting old!!). There are are so... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, that John McLaughlin/L Shankar clip was fantastic; I loved it. Talk about two players being locked into each other musically; and clearly enjoying it. Thanks for sharing. This is McLaughlin with another favorite guitarist Paco De Lucia:http:... | |
| Is a tube phono better than ss? Just want to add an observation that is related Atmasphere's comment about surface noise. Perhaps we are talking about the same thing, but I would describe it this way (and acknowledging the dangers in generalizing):To my ears, LP surface noise he... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, great comments and we have no fundamental disagreement. I love the Picasso/Stravinsky comment; perfect! Don't mean to go round in circles re Wynton; no question that he is an amazing musician. I think the difference of opinion is really... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And BTW, that solo is a model of telling a story in a clear, logical, and concise way. Just a few bars, no excess, and gives a clear sense of direction; we KNOW he's going somewhere without knowing exactly where. It can stand on its own as a melod... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, very good advise, and I do accept Rok as he is; that is why I am still here and continue to interact with him. I would only add that the same should apply to all. Rok, "retractions" cannot be demanded. I am not sure what exactly you want me ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A quick follow up to my comments re Wynton's jazz playing, albeit a very personal one subject to one's interpretation and usage of words: he often causes me to think (feel): WOW! Seldom, to say: AAH! (as in: aah! I get it, I hear what you're tryin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, thank you for you comments. I completely agree with everything you have said, and I don't think my comments said otherwise. Remember we were not talking about what Wynton "does for jazz"; I made my feelings clear calling him a great emb... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you are without a doubt (allowing for the vagaries of the printed word composed on line, of course) one of the most arrogant individuals that I have ever come across. Time and time again I show you the respect that you don't show others, by p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The other six are available on the Tube and recommended. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have no idea what a comparison between Weather Report and Wynton Marsalis' retro-jazz demonstrates or proves; but, anyway, re the notion that only music from the 50's and 60's painting a picture:One of the great things about Wynton's LCO is some... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Aargh! I can try Spanish, but I don't think it would matter. Sorry for the sarcasm, but I don't understand what is unclear about what I am saying. I did not say that we cannot judge art at a time other than the era when it was created. I said that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you decided to hang in there. ****you seem to be sayin that 'evolution' must mean improvement.****Absolutely not, and I would say that "improvement" in the "evolution" of any art is very rare!!! And not only is this at the core of our little ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now, now, Rok, you promised to "never again". Well, this is one of those times when I have to ask myself: "Do I let that comment go by in the interest of not getting Rok riled up? Or, do I respond to the comment in a way that promotes healthy deba... |
