| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Will do! | |
| Any fans of Over the Rhine? @slaw Glad to hear you're enjoying it... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim I like it! | |
| Clara Ponty's "re-imagined" Handel @mashif Thanks for your explanation. I came across this accidentally on youtube while searching for something else and it piqued my curiosity. I hadn’t been aware of this practice of rearranging Classical works and wanted to know what Classical ... | |
| Happy Global Beatles Day! I take it you are speaking of the intercontinental dispersal of harmful pests but I’m not clear as to why this was this deemed worthy of celebration... Oh, I get it. It’s the bugs that are in a festive mood! Wait; I think I can hear them sing... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Hah! You're welcome! | |
| Clara Ponty's "re-imagined" Handel @mashif I don't have a horse in this race but it seems to me that "listener engagement" could be open to interpretation. For some, being drawn into the music emotionally would fully qualify. Correct me if I wrong but I get the sense you have som... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Have you heard this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ircSIar4pk&list=OLAK5uy_m1FRJZX0D26b7m-zn121NulJZstfG4Em8&index=2 @frogman Thanks for the link -- I enjoyed that! | |

| Jazz for aficionados @superblueapm I recently watched "Do the Impossible" , a biopic of Sun Ra that is part of the PBS American Masters series. Very interesting, especially his intention that the music jolt people out of their typical ways of relating to life and in... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This afternoon, I'm listening to what is probably my favorite Elvin Jones release... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGViGqzjW_I | |
| What blues are you listening to today? @superblueapm +1 Rough and Ready To me, it’s much more cohesive group of tracks than the group’s other release, which is kind of a stylistic mish-mash. I know many prefer that one, but R&R does it for me. I enjoy the emerging Jazz influence... | |
| Any fans of Over the Rhine? @mitchagain Karen Bergquist is simply a much better singer, technically, to begin with. Add in her emotional intensity, the quality of both the songs and accompaniment and I’d agree that "lightweight" would describe how I. Mission sound to me. O... | |
| Any fans of Over the Rhine? @slaw So far my favorite is Drunkard’s Prayer, followed by Ohio and Films for Radio, but there remain many I’ve yet to listen to. I tried Innocence Mission but found the female vocalist unengaging. @mitchagain | |
| Any fans of Over the Rhine? @mitchagain I've changed my mind! With further listening, Films for Radio has managed to get under my skin. The production/arrangements/instrumentation are pretty inconsistent with my usual listening fare but the songs and vocals render these fa... |
