Jazz for aficionados
I guess its better to talk about the music that we like than to argue about it. So, will use the opprtunity to post something that is not jazz, an artists that I would very much like to have seen playing alive...perhaps some of you gents did? J.J Cale https://youtu.be/paUjZDLLO9M https://youtu.be/ewYHSRcQOcI ...and one concert that I would choose to see if I had a time machine... Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells and the Stones in a small club' Chekerbard Lounge' from 1981. https://youtu.be/P3qfTk730Cw |
Welcome to Coldducktime. Looking thru my stuff today and found this. We have ignored Benny Carter for too long. Fairly decent Saxophone section on this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmOwsjS9Pek Cheers |
alex, I've been away a couple of days visiting old friends so I'm late in responding to you. I'll just say this. I admit to being guilty of having one foot in the music appreciation door and the other in the audiophile door. That can create conflicts sometimes. But I would suggest that most folks I know who identify as being audiophiles will have a strong preference for newer recordings, whether they are jazz or any other category. That is a major element in driving the reissue market on audiophile labels. It is more the true music lovers who "get into" or appreciate the sonics of the original recordings from the '50s and '60s. I don't believe it was audiophiles who drove up the prices on the original BN LPs. So if my comments on older recording procedures suggested audiophile listening that was not my intent. Just the opposite in fact. But none of this is important so long as we each find recordings we enjoy of music we love. BTW, "Rumble" was released when I was in high school and I still have than and many other classics from that time on original 45s. That brought a smile to my face. |
From 1941. I think the OP used to jam to this at the local soda fountain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ilho9oNFQI Cheers |
