did not know this! like cann-dayyyy!

spinning this out the window because i just upgraded to an early fantasy cd (pre ojc)-i got a made in japan with crude matrix but i see theres also a pre-ojc us issue too you cuold find in the bins-- essential upgrade for fans of this

you know it is a pretty insnane topic, I admit i dont undertstand most of it, these guys were never really on my radar. i did see branford quartet once a long time ago. i dinstincly recall him talking to a group of students before the show and he was saying how learning jazz cant be a learn-how-to-solo-in-30-days type thing. it seemed sensible. show didint wow me.

i have a promo copy of talking heads '77

i guess the vinyl quality wowed me it looked so shiny- like those 80s green label beach boys lps-- way better than the original 60s ones

how much you wanna bet my copy of brassamba is the audiophile version compared to the original pressing- i bet mine sounds way better if i had both to compare

yeah- I like smooth jazz-- im just never got into kenny directly but i was never a fan of sidestepping avant-garde post bop jazz!

do we all agree that Kenny > Wynton?

no, i just googled reddit thread on why people dislike marsalis, to try to get a better understanding of it all- lol

OK WYNTONS NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW MY FRIEND JUST GUESS WHO HE JUST MET DOWNTOWN WHO IS IN TOWN TONIGHT GUESS WHO HE SAID WAS SUPER FRIENDLY THAT HE JUST MET DOWNTOWN: KENNY G GUYS IM GETTING MY FRIEND TO ASK IF KENNY WANT TO COME OVER TO LISTEN TO FREDDIE HUBBARD-MISTRAL AND EDDIE HARRIS BOOTLEGS, THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, JUST LIKE THAT. ONE SECOND IM THINKING ABOUT WHAT FLAVOR POTATO CHIPS TO OPEN, AND NOW THIS

Valery Ponomarev- if he didnt leave the messengers when he did, maybe this whole thing wouldn't of happened

lets all get rid of all our non art blakey marsalis lps & cds. i did

Proud to report i bought the blue triangle Eastworld cd, shipping out of UK. the lp sounds so amazing i can even begin to imagine how incredible the cd will be, which was released only 2 years after the lp *by far my favorite fusion album

someone posted this on reddit- quote: He recently tanked the jazz program at Juliard and forced Ron Carter and Ray Drummond to quit after they both had been there for years. Within a short time of taking over he sent an email out telling everyone that bass players could no longer use amps in big band or combo, and within 24 hours both bass professors resigned. Fuck Wynton and his backward ideas on Music. “Wynton Marsalis is jazzy in the same sense that a sports car is jazzy” - Bob Brookmeyer “If Wynton Marsalis were to die today he wouldn’t have contributed a single note to the jazz tradition” - Bob Brookmeyer close quote
