You got to show me something more!


Okay, one thread has a group of folks dissin' the Ken Burns Jazz series on PBS. Another thread under Rock Systems has a writer that suggests Jazz merely "jerks around."

To each his/her own, but do you folks even have a clue what constitutes good music?

Rather than spending thousands of dollars on audio gear, perhaps many of you would do yourself a greater service by enrolling in a course in music appreciation. Doing so might actually enhance your appreciatiation of Jazz, and what is probably the most technically challenging, and soul revealing music ever created! Enjoy!

Cotrane: You assume too much about the education or lack of it in regard to the members at this site. The next time you post you might try sharing something other than your ignorance. I enjoy jazz, but not ignorance.
Coltrane: Actually, yes you did clearly make that inference. However, since you are attempting to weedle out of it I have no "bone" to pick regarding your initial flame post. Your "weedle" is accepted. I once made a post with a somewhat nasty tone to it, yup. LOL. I like to listen to most kinds of music, as long as it has merit, and even listen to some that I don't like as much when my 14 year old godson hangs with me. My wife though, cannot stand to listen to "most" jazz as she finds it irritating. I am in the spare bedroom at this moment listening to the "Jazz Mandolin Project", that I just purchased today for a dollar at the flea, on a cheap mini system. My wife has a fairly vast knowledge of both popular and world music and jazz is just not her cup of tea as Gregorian chanting is not mine. The mandolin CD upon finish is interesting. Oh, and Coltrane was a typo, I just call people names instead clever things like that. David
Coltrane: Actually yes, you did make a blatent attemp at dweedling. So now we have established that you are capable of self denial and that I am capable of being a big prick. I also assume that we are both here because of our interest in music and perhaps gear (I do not know where you stand on this, I am interested in both). Let's keep it clean without the cheap shots from now on. I am currently into "Bella Ciao" but I am not going to force it down anyone's throat:-)
