uptheos Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I was brought up on jazz and have loved it all my life. I notice that with the passing of Dave Brubeck, that there are a lot of jazz fans on this forum. There is still so much great stuff that I have not yet heard and would appreciate anyone interested in posting 'their particular greats'. I look forward to hearing some great music (instrumentals and vocals). John Coltrane - Live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEgp-cckoz4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxman71 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Any or all of the above + anything from Clifford Brown + Arturo Sandoval. Note: I was a music performance major in college in the States and made a living as a freelance pro trumpeter years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaVisionBurma Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 There's a delightful Japanese movie from a few years ago called Swing Girls The finale is a back-to-back performance of Mexican Flyer followed by Sing Sing Sing. Sing Sing Sing is one of my favourites. From the OST (clean track) and from the actual movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7N6slVrQeY Good thread uptheos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) 'A love supreme' and various tracks from the girl singers... I knew a girl who was no slouch as a singer but she hated Coltrane's 'A love supreme'... she came from a small town in northern California and when she heard the opening bars of the piece she would mutter: 'blasphemous negro...' when I said: 'what?' she replied with vehemence: 'I said that John Coltrane is a blasphemous n**ger!...what of it???!!!'...she was a large white woman with nice brown tresses and sang operatically with a compelling soprano, not suited for most popular music but right in there for folk tunes...she was about my same weight and height and I didn't take the issue any further...

watutsi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Well it seems that Jazz is not as popular on this forum as the OP imagined,its a pity. I am tempted to do a "Ron 19" -- "Blasts from the Past- Avante Garde Jazz from the 60's". i am sure it would be just as popular !!!!!. I would have loved to see this guy on the same stage as Jimi Hendrix, i think they would both have appreciated playing with their equal.

xen Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have been thinking about why i don't have as many favourite Jazz tracks as i do with rock and pop. I have my favourite artists like Miles and Mingus , in particular, but i don't have the nostalgic associations with jazz. and being able to connect with time and places like i do with rock and pop . I didn't grow up with jazz as it was always viewed by my immediates as something far too exotic and bohemian . I grew into jazz as rock grew to be more tedious but listening to jazz is much more of a present tense enjoyment . Exploring jazz is much more of a musical maturity like enjoying classical or any other form of musical expression. I will enjoy it now , in the present , and then it is gone ,forever. It is very similar to looking at apiece of modern art or sculpture . Enjoy it now but I don't take it home with me because tomorrow it will be a different piece of art , and a different reflection of my moods and sense of where i am . Incidently , Watusi , thanks for making me aware of Albert Ayler . Great stuff . Just discovered David S Ware - similar field but different.

tutsiwarrior Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 one day in Oakland we had a musician (tenor sax) with us and we all got high and listened to some music...some how the subject of the recently released Nonesuch recording of a-capella choral Bulgarian music came up and the conversation increased in intensity... we were all floating on heroin and thinking of getting some more and I said: 'do you think that you could replicate that exquisite vocal dissonance on an instrument?'....and he said: 'yeah...man, if you quit believing in the possibilities then the creative process stops and then, generally speaking <deleted> is the point?...' then the roomate went out and got some more stuff...

tutsiwarrior Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 there was a time when discussion and the music thereof was a daily occurrence... a roomate had her daughter practicing with her tuba for the school band and she plugged her ears and complained: 'will it never stop???!!!'...then tutsi approached in high dudgeon and declared: 'do you hear what that woman is doing? she needs yer support and not yer absurd opprobrium...' then she thew a silver teapot at me that was a family heirloom and that was subsequently damaged and there was hell to pay... (later I straightened it out with some vice grips to everyone's satisfaction...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
