Feels kind of silly to go from McCoy to Rudy Wiedoeft, even if it is the legendary Wiedoeft. Pryso mentions his dad’s C melody saxophone. Now obsolete (Dr. Cohen has three) it is an unusual sounding saxophone due to a range that sits smack between the alto and the tenor. You aficionados may not realize it, but you have probably heard both Wiedoeft and the C melody saxophone many times: https://youtu.be/nkM0m-fB2UwMaybe not this: https://youtu.be/3yMwc8olTLE |
I had planned on going on a permanent "hiatus", but those plans have changed; after listening to some of the best music that I've ever heard in my entire life, the least I can do is respond to it.
Mary_jo, I had forgotten how good "Mr. Magic" by Grover Washington sounded; maybe that's because 76 was a magic time for me. It is not written that I have to live in the present, and I wont. As long as there is music that can take me back to a better time, I shall live in that time.
Never heard of "Nino Ferrer" but I liked his music, and I would like to blow that album cover up to life size.
Michelle Gurevich; what planet is she from? It seems that I went there in a dream; her music reminds me of a time when there were places called "head shops" that smelled of many different kinds of incense, and had wild and unusual "psychedelic" posters on the wall, plus a multitude of pipes to choose from which to smoke the rarest blends of Turkish tobacco. I absolutely must have some of her music.
It's hard to resist these people O10. You wake up in the morning or you wish to have a good night sleep and you have a need to check what the gang posted... About living in the past, if you, by any chance, bump into 90s, I am sure you'll see me somewhere wandering around. I was little girl back then, but for some reason can't resist the smell of that time, wonderfully captured in this movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnsmEWzakEw

I never really got into a lot of the "old" jazz. I found a lot of it dissonant. Now that I am retired I need to go back and listen some more. But here is a list of what I like
Pat Metheny "bright sized life" "Letters from home"
Joni Mitchell "Shadows and Light" Live album with Jaco PastoriusStan GetzGlen Miller OrchestraMokave "Afrique" Some of the best sounding piano recording I have heardWeather Report and Return to Forever. Am I out of bounds?
Mike Garson "Oxnard Sessions" Reference RecordingsFourplay "Elixer"Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"
