Jazz Kat

Stop getting me hungry. It's two days before pasta night.

Lamont is playing drums!

I think Jimmy felt superior to other organists, in a little article I read with him in some jazz book I got. He stresses the use of pedals so much!!! Jimmy is the master though!

Speaking of Sanford And Son, it is the episode where Fred is on the Gong Show. Some lady just did an impression of Louis Armstrong.

I remember that solo from The Sound Of Jazz, with Billy Holiday, and Lester Young. Man, Roy's solo blew me away!

I bought a lot of sealed lp's, of various albums Sonny Rollins, Worktime George Braith, Two Souls In One Clark Terry, In Orbit etc. I think they were reissued in like the 80's. not sure.

Some of the A&M catalogue is quite good.

I was just mellowing out to Smith at my grandmothers house. I was listening out for his use of the pedals. It keeps you occupied. I kind of figured you couldn't do a moving bass line at allegro tempo all with your feet. I thought it had to be syncronized.

Rolling Stones reissues? They hardly sound that great. But as far as the music goes, Aftermath rules!

Tina Brooks's story is so interesting. Yeah I heard that. That it was pictured on inside sleaves, but never even released!

How about, Man, I love jazz so much. I bought "The Jazz Singer" soundtrack with Neil Diamond. Man, that cat swings!

Oh, I'm gonna get that one soon. The organ seems the most interesting instrument of all, standard instruments used in jazz settings. I think what would be cool if organists used the organ as like another instrument. Example-bass. Yeah, you got the bass lines bassists use, but I was thinking this the other day. That organists could have two solos. One doing an organ solo, (on the keys) and two, imitating a bass, and have a second solo, completely on the pedals, and lower the notes. Just a thought....

There's usually a lull around this time. Soon the European members and the US insomniacs will be showing up.

0 people lurking. As it gets later and later, fewer and fewer people are being displayed on the bottom of the screen. -_-

Took a look. Do most music shops usually stock them?

Well that's good to hear.

I ride in convertables for living!

I'm sorry to say I'm at something like 0.12. Pretty sad!

Can anyone tell me a good place to find some play alongs for guitar, piano, etc.? I'm looking everywhere.

I remember I used the Vanguard for a school project in 8th grade. It was in a slide show of one of the places I would like to visit.

I bought Wave awhile back. You know some of those tracks were done 100+ times before Jobim was satisfied on a take!

Yes thought so. Heard in the Waiting Game liner notes that the reason they didn't release any others is because album sales were so low.

Great topic! I was looking for one like this! I wish I saw it four days back when I got my Jimmy Smith Home Cookin' cd.

Good good. Joe Pass, Eximious.
