Jazz for aficionados
VSOP Live made me think of this; one of my favorite live jazz recordings. One of the most gorgeous and evocative jazz tenor tones ever. Stan Getz paired with Bill Evans makes sense in many ways; introspective, soft tone and emphasis on creating beautiful melodies when improvising. Great record: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xh3IMWzF_s |
****I think it’s possible, in the middle of playing improvised music, to play a few notes that have been played before in the same order in another popular tune. Intention would depend on the length of the passage played. A few notes might be an unintentional, subconscious ’quote’, too many notes, and you are playing Mona Lisa.**** I vowed not to return to this thread, but merely to observe. There is no way I could pass this up, especially after Rok made one of the most reasoned and true statements of his career, and this is your response. "Sorry, way off base. If you care to have reasonable and intelligent dialogue about this subject let me know." When "Bird", the worlds greatest improviser ever, quite often threw in a few notes from some well known popular song, unintentional, or intentional, and you said Rok's statement was unreasonable; just who made you judge, jury, and executioner, of this thread? Enjoy the music. |
I knew you’d be back, O-10, and belueve it or not, I was hoping you would be; I’m only sorry that you didn’t come back with a more reasonable and positive attitude. If you, like Rok, are looking for another fight, please look elsewhere. I stand by my comments. As usual, the desperate see (and hear) what they want to see. Like Rok, you are responding, not in a reasoned way, but in a way that you feel somehow proves that you are correct and I am incorrect; and nothing more. What you and Rok don’t understand about this subject is that NOTHING that players like Bird played was unintentional; and, certainly not musical quotes. The idea that it might be unintentional is way off base; and, frankly......well, I'll stop there. Welcome back; I think. |

Welcome back O-10. A thread needs it's OP. In the Bible, Job got affliction and pestilence, we got The Frogman. But like Job, we will survive this testing. Cheers |
frogman, Really liked your post re: Nat Adderly. Thank you. One of my favorite tunes with both Nat and his brother Cannonball playing together. If it's been posted here already I missed it. Equal parts traditional jazz and fusion, a cup of blues and a whole lot of groove. I've worn out my vinyl copy. - Bob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmpV67Mgsl0 |
