Who's into Jazz?

Step up and make yourself accountable. I'd like to know who is into jazz on this forum. Let's cut through the chase and find out who knows what real entertainment is.

If you're a man, grow a pair and tell me what's hot, or what's not.

If you're a woman, make sure you wash your stinky twat!

Goodness, I can't believe I just said that! Anyhow, what are some of the hot releases that you've heard? I'm listening to an old cut by a gent named Tom Browne..."Browne Sugar." Where did he go?

The Moor.

I guess I'll have to answer my own blog!

Well Mr. Moorishprince. I think a hot standard is "Little Sunflower" by Frddie Hubbard. Arturo Sandoval did a good remake as well. It's a sweet little cut that reminds me of being in the desert just after a rain. There are flowers that spring forth..often never to be seen by the eye of man again. Yep, Mr. Moor, this is where it's at.

Yep, I'm groovin', all by myself. I wonder what fat A** Kizzy is doing? I think she should get rid of A nomiunus Bob. He's just a bit slow:)

Kizzy can DONATE Bob .. to

the Rev, Cheree... i just was laughing over that post over there asking "Can I donate my husband?" LOL:) You Princey Moor didn't get my pm? (not pre-menstrual okie.. i knows yah.)
Me an idiot on jazz.. only thingy I know is that Al Jarreau - I like him !

Al jarreau

McCoy Tyner is my man! I caugt this cat at a club in Southern California years ago. Sat right in back of the maestro. To hear him play is one thing; to see him play is another level altogether.

Hehe, back in the day, you'd walk in and you knew that the babes and you had something in common. That's where I first met Kizzy***&^:)

Bugsey likes Jazz!

See, all of you folks out there have to realize that jazz indicates class...lol. It's an acquired taste.

All that Jazz Moor....

is the 3 am lady working in a jazz club? hey, i like al jarreau -dunno if he's jazz, but i sure like him- i LOVE the lyrics of his song "After All". :)

The jazz club!

Met Kizzy there years ago:) We had a one night stand. She undressed..I was disappointed...and asked her to "stand" in the corner so I wouldn't have to throw-up anymore:-( I think that's when she hooked up with U know hoo.

Al Jarreau came (not in the literal sense) on strong some years ago, and went pop. He never quite returned to his solid jazz roots.

Pop is ALWAYS IN MOOR!

met Bob's kizzy? or is it anuder kizzy? i am so confused with all the kizzy's HERE! please explain :)

I like some Jazz...

One of my favorites is George Benson. I also like Billie Holliday and there is also another one I like...his name is Ray....I can't remember his last name. They made a movie on him last year.

tweetykiss's blog

George Benson

Good to hear:) I'm a jazz fanatic myself. Before Benson became a pop singer, he was ranked as one of the foremost jazz guitarists in the world.

tweetykiss's picture

He was also a good pop singer....

I liked him as a pop singer and he was fantastic as a jazz guitarist. Do you play any musical instruments?

tweetykiss's blog

I'm a flautist

Flute is my instrument. I listened to a lot of Hubert Laws, later on I cut my teeth on a gent name Dave Valentine (flautist). Funny, I learned not more than a week ago that Dave Valentine studied under Hubert Laws. I played some jazz piano coming up..and I'm eyeing a violin at the moment.

I wish I could have pursued music full time.

tweetykiss's picture

Super...Moorish!!!

Have you played the flute most of your life? I am very impressed with your abilities and skills. I took piano for a little bit but I just couldn't get it. Not for me. Let us know when you get your violin.

I play jazz, that count?

After a fashion anyway. Trumpet/cornet/flugelhorn. Confess I'm not much into the modern scene; play mostly dixieland and swing tunes. I can cut St. Louis Blues on a good day, but am not even in the same country with the likes of Miles or Wynton. 40 years after it was too late, I'm taking real lessons with Ellen Seeling, director of the Montclair Women's Big Band, out of Berkeley's Jazz School. I owe you guys a blog based on my experiences with a reggae(!!) workshop held at the Jazz School a month ago.

Outstanding!

Yeeahhhhh boy! O ceallaigh is in the house:) I'm a flautist....from the Hubert Laws era.

hey thanks bugsey

I'll bring my horn and play you a tune or three next time I'm in Manila. (I've never been there ...)

o ceallaigh's picture

flute eh?

Know, or know of, David Williams, jazz flautist and top-end flute maker? I don't know him, but I know the cat who bought his company.

david williams

Never heard of him, but I'll check up on the link. Yep, flute! Not many folks can get a lot out of a flute. I'm listening to Mr. Freddie Hubbard as we speak. Used to listen to a lot of Maynard Ferguson (spelled correctly?).

o ceallaigh's picture

You're talking trumpet royalty here

Yep, you got ol' Maynard down right. Terrifying. His high range starts where mine leaves off. He's still doing stuff. As is Laws; naturally I see he's scheduled to appear in San Fran the month after I leave here to return to Maine. My life's always like that :(.

Maynard

Laughing here. You're right. His range always started where most everybody's stopped. These guys have endured the ages.

Maverick's picture

Maynard? What the shit

As I was about to start spouting some Monty Python... "Bring us The Holy Hand Grenade Brother Maynard!" Gah.

haha

Intense as ever:) Join the party. We'll let "anyone" in.

Awesome O' Ceallaigh

That takes a lot of talent to play those instruments. It is great to be a music lover.

tweetykiss's blog

o ceallaigh's picture

yes it does, tweety

If I had any, I might be able to play a room without clearing it.

:)

tweetykiss's picture

O'Ceallaoigh....

Did you learn at a very young age to play those intruments? Were you also in the school band?

tweetykiss's blog

o ceallaigh's picture

started at age nine ...

... in a public elementary school music program. when such things actually existed, were more than just some hopelessly lost girl fresh out of teacher's college trying to get kids to make noise with recorders (other than the one they make when they're whacked over somebody's head), and you didn't have to have a part of the Gates fortune in your family to get access to it. (I'm not bitter about the state of education that We the People have allowed to come to pass in these United States, oh no not me. :( ).

for the record I was absolutely terrible, but because I have a twisted mind given to torturing innocent souls and parents, I persisted. Stuck with the marching and concert bands through high school and the first two years of college, then put it aside as other considerations (like graduation, graduate school, scrabbling for academic employment, marriage, children) took precedence. returned to it five years ago on the end of our marriage. haven't looked back, not yet anyway.

tweetykiss's picture

Main thing to be happy with it...

What matters most is to be satisfied and happy with what you are doing. It is awesome that you were in the elementary school and the high school program as well as college.

tweetykiss's blog

lost education

Music programs meant something in recent times past. I'm with you on returning to the things we loved as children. Looks like you came full circle:)

bugsey's picture

You also learn a LOT from his BLOG

http://oceallaighspubs.blogspot.com/

It's the kind of stuff that's decent. He doesn't things like "twat" -
and his fallinatruck publications is a good read.. was browsing there. try it tweets !

LOL

It's my grandfather's fault...

I pound the keyz and play a lil of the bluez harp

I M evun amazed that I masturd'd the ivory-key'd monstur, but my Granny M wuz a pay'shent soul with the pie-anny lezuns. Nevur lernt no sheet muszak reedin, but I can mix it up on sume rag-time and bluze and do a fare job ov bendin the harp undur a star-fill'd nite or smokey bar or juke joint. sure wish I had a bettur handel on that classical stuff, yes sir ree!!

Radreview's picture

As a trombone player, I'm more into ...

... the semiclassical Duke Ellington material, but all the big bands like Glen Miller, Artie Johnson, then later Stan Kenton, Les Brown's Band of Renown, then of course Charlie Parker and even Ray Charles to an extent, Louis Armstrong ...

New Orleans jazz is cool, with Al Hirt, Pete Fountain and the bigger keyboard names like Oscar Peterson, man I can't name everyone here.

Love it all.

The above mentioned are the pillars of jazz. These guys laid the foundations. I only hope that musicians now won't forget where the roots are.

Used to love to listen to Wayne Henderson of the Crusaders:)
