How many people coined the saying "there are only two types of music; good and bad?" I got three right off the bat Duke Ellington Buddy Rich and my favorite: Reba McEntire!

Hey, it's enough to win a Grammy!

I think they actually pulled it off, in the fact that it wasn't TOTALY stupid. But as far as being funny, it was pretty much like all those new shows that don't last long.

Anyone see this show?

Brubeck was one of my first artists I idolized. My dad had Time Out and I started playing it 24 hours a day and eventually went out to get more albums. The group really came together when Joe Morello joined the group. I believe one of the first albums to have Morello was Dave Digs Disney, which was in the same style as the earlier quartet albums. Around 1958, the quartet started to have really good arrangements, and then Time Out came. Here are some of my favorite albums: Gone With The Wind Time Further Out Time In Space Time In Time Changes Bossa Nova USA Southern Scene Jazz Impressions of New York There are also a couple of albums where clarinet player Bill Smith replaces Desmond. These recordings are on the Fantasy label and are worth checking out. I don't miss Desmond at all, and I'm really a fan of Desmond. I just thought I'd add one of Desmond's best solos is on the Impressions of Japan album. It's the first track where he quote's St. Thomas.

Not at all. These are the guys I see at jam sessions. I only play with guitar, piano, and bass players for my enjoyment at the moment.

Saxophonists just blowin over tunes, tryin to steal the show, honking and squaking, not playing beautiful, playing too many notes, trying to be a Trane clone, listening to no one else but other saxophonists, only playing tunes written and often played by saxophonists, etc. I'm sure I'll fine some unique ones down the road, but the ones I run into now are all the same.

Totaly done with horn players!

It sounds like most saxophonists I know.

This is some cool clip! Wish Corea had taken a solo.

There are so many better Mobley records, when he WASNT playing with Miles, to listen to.

Okay, so I did this gig a week ago. Not the most enjoyable musical experience of my life so far, but an experience none the less. The saxophone player came in, in some of the wrong places, but he smokes too much weed, so it's okay. I got some clips of the videos here: The Days Of Wine & Roses B flat Blues

I tried searching for this, but couldn't find anything. Seems Keith Jarret had an outburst at the Umbria Jazz Fest? Anyone hear about this??

Yeah, and stupid.

Sometimes I don't wanna clap after the solo, but everyone else does and if I don't, I generally feel like they think I'm being disrespectful or some shit like that.

I had a gig.

Is Vince Guaraldi jazz? Is a boeing 707 an airplane?

Sorry for bringing this thread back, but it just made me laugh.

Thanks again to everybody. About the beer; I hate it. Just like soda. Can't stand it.

I'm just sick of the fucking honkers and loud ass painful sounding saxophonists out there. It's like all they listen to are saxophonists, and they don't know a thing about beauty.

Not sure if I've ever heard these words uttered by a jazz fan before! I like a limited amount of players. I love Desmond, Mulligan, Turrentine, Rollins, Mobley, etc. Just seems most players are just trying to sound like Trane so that their sound is actual no where near as good, but very unoriginal. I mainly listen to guitarists, pianists, vibists, organists, etc. Can't think of one modern tenor player at the moment I really do love.

Isn't July 10th awesome!
