Jazz Kat

You gotta check him out. He blended just a tiny bit of jazz into his music, but it all worked out good. He should of invented a new style of music, but he was practically the only doing what he was doing.

Moanin' of course!

Who's with him? Is this a reunion thing, with Gene and Joe?

Happy Birthday Wes! I found out farily recently, compared to how long I have been listening to Wes that he died at such an early age. There is actually footage of him appearing on The Hollywood Palace, weeks before he died in 1968. I think he preformed Windy from one of his current A&M albums at the time. Herb Alpert hosted the show, and Brazil 66, Baja Marimba Band, Liza Manelli, Boyce And Hart, Burt Bacharach were also on the show. I own the tape.

Like a Percy Faith or Hank Mancini record? Mellow big Band with strings, as I like to call it. Yeah I like that.

And Alpert produced everything himself.

Alpert. It's with a P. I'm not really saying the whole You're Under Arrest Album is like Alpert, mainly Time After Time and Human Nature.

Yeah I dont like that place. Haven't ventured over there since the first few days of my existence here.

Alpert. Herb was a good trumpet player. Very sharp. Nothing he played was wimpy. He had a sound similar to Miles, in the mellow category. The sound as a whole sounds the same. During Rise, Alpert was still play more of a fusion style, some funk influence. In the 80's he was practically completely all pop, just like Davis.

Yeah me too, but cut alpert alittle slack. Time After Time, and Human Nature sound identical to Alpert's late 80's recordings as Blow Your Own Horn, Magic Man, Beyond, etc..

"Killer Joe" usually

and in nocturnal mode.

Gotcha.

yes and dont call me surely.

Can we define Hack please?

So you like music that's not surprising?

Yes, it allows, but sometimes I get made fun of or whatever for something I say.

Wow, you are focused! I usually, (what am I talking about... Like 20 times a day!), throw on a cd, and just play along, either on guitar, or drums, or play electric bass, just hoping and wishing for an acoustic one. I read a little bit, but mostly just play along to some disks.

Miles Davis, Super Hits. (cheesy compilation)

What do you think of Miles Davis's real late recordings, such as Time After Time, and Human Nature? I think they sound a lot like late Herb Alpert. That must of been the hot sound for the trumpet in the 80's.

Its fine you dont like Martin Denny. I found his Hawiaan albums very hard to dig at first. It is odd that they were all hyped more about you not liking Denny then whatever Che said.

I got that one. I also have the the lp, A Taste Of Honey. It's more jazz influenced than his usual exoctica albums. It was a nice album.

Hawiaan pianist. (he was American, but his music was of Hawiaan influence. Well most of it. It sometimes had just the slightest influence of jazz.

Can someone tell me the name of that Blue Note story DVD, so I can take a look at it on amazon?
