Jazz for aficionados
Yes , I did , how in the hell she can play like that with her eyes closed God only knows . Incredible is the word all right . frogman , the "New Yorker" is the best jazz album I ever heard . All 4 hit the right tone , rhythm , and style for each and every song to perfection . Talk about "something to say" , they wrote a book! Don’t tell me how Stitt makes a tone within a tone , one sunny and one cloudy, I want to write it down as a miracle . Hope my main man in Berlin can get me it in vinyl . |
pryso, good catch. Corea recorded Children’s Song #1 on two other occasions. Once with Gary Burton on a record called “Crystal Silence” and a group version on the classic record “Light As a Feather”. Perhaps that is were you heard the song previously. Then again, perhaps you have heard Bela Bartok’s “Mikrocosmos” series of piano pieces (intended for beginner pianists). Corea is a big admirer of Bartok and Mikrocosmos were the inspiration for his “Children’s Songs”. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_f196xWR6LE https://youtu.be/kdWWKywse5g https://youtu.be/0lgB_uqFCrI |
pjw, your account of the pilgrimage was very moving .Thank you ! The only one I ever made was to Schubert’s grave in the Central Cemetery in Vienna , doubled when I saw Brahms lay next to him and Mahler few meters around the corner . As my wife and I were standing there in prayer, two Japanese couples showed up . The two men had huge amounts of flowers on in their arms which they put on, with heads bowed, on Schubert’s grave . . Then after five minutes or so, one of the men prostated himself on Schubert’s grave and cried like a baby .Unique day! |
Pity, I do not have quite many memories like that...but since my job often brings me to Vienna (Wien) in Austria, I have visited there Schubert’s Geburtshaus (the house where he was born) and a house where Mozart used to live (he lived on several addresses in Wien). At the places like that you should not touch anything, I mean, you can watch it but it is not allowed to touch it... I could not resist no to lay my hand on the famous piano and was moving slowly with the hand over it’s top, while walking forward...like kids do. Felt good. https://youtu.be/_mVW8tgGY_w p.s. O-10 and Rok are missing. I wonder if those two are actually one person. (?) *.* :--) |
