oh goody!

Don't pay any attention to him! One of those trolls! And a wanker to boot! I stopped taking him seriously after the first post I read. He a former member coming back to haunt the forum?

That's a start.

I know more about Lee musically then Freddie, so I prefer to listen to Lee. But I heard some good stuff from Hub. Hub Cap was great!

Who the hell is this wankyjazz??

I always felt So What and Freddie freeloader were similar, that's why I like them the same. In order form least to greatest(reverse that) is, I like All Blues the best, then Freddie F. and So What together, then Blue In Green, then lastly Flameco Sketches.

There wasn't always shrink wrap on records? When did it start? My local record shop lets you test out the records, just like they did in demonstration booths way back when.

what?

Just keep playing what you can do, no matter how much you screw up the ride pattern. One day, you'll find out your independence has gotten good. And great books are Advanced Techniques For The Modern Drummer As Applied To Jazz And Bebop, writen by a guy who I feel dont swing, but writes these books perfectly with perfect excerices. Written by Jim Chapin.

sure

I would say keep enjoying and practicing music, but don't bag school. I was by no means a great student, but by maintaining decent grades I was able to have more options when it was time to choose a college music program. I don't know if you're planning on going on to college, but don't write it off just yet. Keep your options open. I'm not saying you need to go to college to become a successful musician, but for me it was good preparation for what was happening "out there". So hang in there with the whole school thing! Yeah I want to go to a music college. That's probaly where you meet most other musicians your age and at your level.

There's a reason I dont buy all the albums and find out all the information. I heard it. And do not like it.

No. I do play marimba and vibes, but do not own a kalimba. Interestingly, Martin Denny's mallet player didnt use a kalimba, would of been perfect ya know.

I was contemplating on buying that today. Seeing more Green inventory than usual of Green, I hesitated on what to get. Got I Wanna Hold Your Hand.

Sunday mornings are so beautiful, yet so depressing. You know your last night, (you just spent up all night), is over.

Which music? If you don't mind me asking. I'm going to be vague, but modern rock. I cant name bands, I just know from what I have heard. I dont see any creativity in it.

What would you say?

How did she know to pick that one out of all the rest. She dont know anything about jazz. But never-the-less my parents were the reasons for me getting into jazz, in the very very very beginning. My dad showed me the music, my mother always put on the jazz station in the car, all those summers driving around to doctors, friends', supermarkets, and jazz. But I branched out on my own really far now, and my parents dont have a clue what I listen to 95% of the time.

Harlem, haven't visited much. I wanna make it a point to see The Village Vanguard, and now Minton's.

If anything, music seems to take me away from everything else. Seems the better I get playing music, the worse my grades get, and I hate school even more. All I wanna do is play music, and there's no time for anything else.

Me, too!!! This disc was my first real jazz education; up until I heard this disc, I really didn't know what the difference was between a tenor sax and an alto sax. (Only in my case, I wasn't so little! ) My first jazz disk ever. Got it on Easter Sunday. How my mom knew to pick out that disk, the single most revolutionary album in the jazz world, it's beyond me, but I am grateful for it. Kind Of Blue started it all for me. Met Evans, Adderly, Cobb, and Chambers for the first time with this recording. Such memories, though only about 10 years ago.

Thanks, my dad even liked John S! I played out Rollins's Bridge already, alittle bit of Grant Gree, Ornette, Shape Of Jazz To Come is spinning now. I heard alot of these records. I heard Chronilogy, John S., I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Focus On Sanity, and Congeniately on compilations and stuff but I needed the whole albums. So this is what I picked from the numerous cd's available at J&R and Virgin. The meter was set for only an hour so my dad was rushing me, "come on hurry up," I almost went crazy, needed a breath of air, I just stood there for about 10 minutes looking at all the disks! It truley was heaven! Some cuts you would never expect, they got lots of em! Ones you would think they would have, like Meet The Jazztet, and they dont got it! Oh well, I'm enjoying what I got.

But it meant the same back then, so theres no difference.

I think everybody was superb. I remember when I was real little, determining when Trane stopped and Adderly came in to solo. Those were the days.

In the same spot? I dont know much about its location.
