Jazz for aficionados
One of the most common criteria used by jazz players when commenting about each other's playing is whether the player is "saying something" and not simply captivating the listener with impressive musical cheapshots. For me, few have been able to "tell a story" with the clarity that Stanley Turrentine could. https://youtu.be/FNK6tvh1xUQ |
Schubert, while I agree with you about all of those artists, there is one who needs to be added, and that is the one commonly known as "Jug". On the jazz scene, it's not until after you have acquired your "moniker" that is well known on the street, that you have arrived. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to tell his name, because if you don't know jazz artists by their "street names" you're not an aficionado. |
o10, I went back to listed to the track I posted and it sounded reasonably clean and about as good as other YouTube links I've listened to. So no idea why what you heard was so poor. Did you try any of the other links listed along the right of the screen? I have a fairly good audio system and a large collection of LPs and CDs. So that is the source of all my serious listening. Recording quality is important to me in so far as not wanting it to detract from the music. The only time I bother with YouTube on my computer is to hear suggested links such as those posted here. |
