And you got the only picture of him right? actually, i do - here it is! You own it?

So one conclusion may be that Miles Davis helped create smooth jazz? I can see another Phd in this Che. Not really, exactly. I'm not saying Miles Davis and those early fusion artists created smooth jazz, I'm saying they are the reason for it.

And you got the only picture of him right?

Wow, I gotta get me one of those. It'd be nice to remove the pops from the record.

"How can I make my boring show not boring?"

HOw does the computer work in putting your lp's to cd? I just use a burner that has nothing to do with the computer.

Was Bags Meets Wes on that list?

I do, because fusion, though very different from smooth jazz, was the first jazz to have a "backbeat" and where they used electronic instruments. Though many people played and still played acoustic traditional jazz, (I like to call it,) contemporary jazz kept getting more and more into the popular field, which I think resulted in smooth jazz. I'd like to hear other views on this. This is just how I think of it.

For some reason I haven't gone to that much jazz concerts. Mainly, I guess because I really cant get in to any clubs. Almost saw Billy Taylor once, but they told me friken three weeks before the concert that he was going to be sick. mind readers..... B-)

Those are probaly some of the worst records, music wise, too. no.....

Let's just hope it never gets like that!

Smooth jazz is, IMO, "fusion gone too far."

Ah Chick Webb! I lvoe his classic kit. He was so small, but Krupa said he could of cut any drummers he wanted to.

I hate when that happens.

Wow, the only 78's I can play are on my old victrola from the 30's, most of the records are too scratchy, and not really "jazz."

Dave Brubeck seemed to like it. Or did he just say it was a good idea.

Beautiful! THats just all you can say!

That was the most intelligent thing I have heard/read all day.

Others just ramble on and on, or talk about nothing.

Like this!

This happens on every board. SOme people post in pieces.

He said he did do that. But yes, you're 100 percent right.

My first post was just a joke. I got what you were saying. You would say I Hear A Rhapsody is a standard right? Of course. But is it recorded as much as My Funny Valentine? No. I got you. I was just playing, you dont have to change no title.

I dont know, they were never recorded.

Yeah it was. It was at the Blue Note in NYC where kids could come up and play. And when all the kids did go up, I played drums, on the drummer's lap. Then later on for the ocnclusion when he played Feels So Good, I started playing trumpet to the song at my seat so he told me to come up with him, and I did it. I was the only kid on the stage.
