I use to hate jazz. After 30 seconds I found out I still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an extensive Jazz collection, including Dad's Records from Wartime and just after, never grows old. Don't have anything much the last fifteen years here in Montana, but still hear good new jazz on satellite in the car once in a while. Like food or a lot of other things, a matter of taste.

My taste goes to Blues and Classic/Southern Rock. We’ve been known to slip a jazz riff into our stuff now and again. 11/8, 7/8, and the occasional 5/4 or a polytonic bass line when the mood strikes.

Rip Snorter Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Blues, Classical, Spanish Guitar, all on board. Southern Rock, well, again. personal taste. I do like Willie and Kristofferson and the Wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Nice! I quite enjoy jazz. Been listening to it, and playing it most of my life. Curiously, this particular rendition didn't look like it was recorded live. It appeared they were playing with a recording. Here's another version of the same with some phenomenal musicians. Lot of blues in this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 That first one. The guitar was good. Could have done without the sax. Liked the bass player muchly. It's not "Saint Lewis", it's "Saint Louie". Someone needs to explain that to the singer. Now the second one, I watched it for 4 minutes, and they never once did Route 66. That git-tar picker was good, but he wasn't playing what he was supposed to be playing. I assume the girl was going to sing and the guy with the base was going to pick, but the video was half over and they hadn't done anything yet, so I gave up on it.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I have often gotten emails from Amazon. They ask why I have never selected anything from their music offerings.

It's like 20 minutes of noise played on the guitar by Steppenwolf, which finally became The Pusher. I listened to it once, more and more impatiently, waiting for him to play the damn song. I guess I'm becoming less patient in my old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good jazz is taking a good tune and and playing it correctly then each player takes a turn on a solo. That's good jazz. The stuff that some guys play like the out in left field stuff is not pleasing to the ear. This group does a nice job on this tune especially the solos! Guitar player is excellent!

Chantry Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 A decent band, a little bit better singer, but unlikely to ever hit it big. There is a lot of different kinds of jazz, some of it I like and some of it I don't. The biggest problem to is finding good new music, because what little I hear on the radio is either classic rock, songs I've heard a hundred times before and pretty much everything else, regardless of genre, is bad. Youtube is good, Amazon Music is ok (some of it is free if you have Amazon Prime) and iTunes is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was the first black celebrity to get his own tv show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
