Jazz Kat

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.

hehe

Was this "the only" album released when it first came out? (by Tina) Or was that record True Blue?

Man, I gotta hear you guys!

I only heard two Jimmy Smith albums. Home Cookin' and Dynamic Duo, w/ Wes Montgomery. Both were rather enjoyable.

I'll never forget what I heard one guy say. "Me and my brother always loved jazz. He became a musician, I became a poet. And whenever we get together, the age old question comes up. Who makes more money? A jazz musician or a poet?"

Never got payed for a gig. Just play with some people on Long Island from time to time, and sit in at small places.

Are kids aloud in that place? I remember seeing Elvin Jones was gonna play there two years ago, I guess I just lost interest.

I can't wait to become a full-time musician.

Well this thread is sad!

Saying blacks play jazz better because black people created jazz is basically irrelevant in today's times. The people who "invented" it, (I dont like that term) were black yes, but long gone. They're not playing jazz anymore, so just because someone is black nowadays doesn't mean they have the advantage. We've covered this, but, yeah....

PITIFUL!!!!!! K, here's the scoop from beginning to finish: Greg, (father/husband) walks in the door. They live with their friends. He's all happy and says guess what I got? Everyone's all smiley, "what" "what" "what is it Greg?" I have..... "yes?" "tickets" "yes" "to..." "WHAT!!!'' " A jazz festival!" "oh," then he's like who wants to come with me, everyone's like "Oh, well I gotta do something and shit. He's like nobody wants to go with me? And Jimmy, the other husband says, "greg, I hate jazz!" Throughout the episode, he's trying to find someone to go with him. This is the part where, he asks at work if people want to go with him. He asks a black guy, and you know.... So greg's wife finds an add saying, like need a friend? and she reads the description. "Look Greg, a guy into jazz. Mingus, Coltrane, Davis, blah blah blha." Exactly what she says. the audience cracks up. I'm like cursing at the screen. Then they meet, blah blah blah the guy is this real nerd. I guess they wanted to make fun of jazz even more by making a little scrony nerdy white boy the "only" other jazz fan in LA. The show's usual stupid ass comedy blah blah, the show ends. Never watched it again.

Reminds me of the Yes Dear episode wher Greg has tickets to a jazz festival, (the worst episode in history of tv by the way; most insulting to the greatest art form of all, I stoppped watching the show after that one aired by the way) Anyway, Greg wants someone to go with him, and naturally, to make fun of jazz, they make no one say yes. But anyway, he asks a black person if he likes jazz. His response, "Because I'm black?"

Try writing a review on that one! Two reasons it's hard: 1. What can you say that hasn't been said already. 2. It's so great, and so legendary, just try organizing your thoughts to write a review on the most revolutionary jazz album of all time. I sure as hell couldn't for both reasons.

is she the crime fighter?

Everyone I have seen, unless they were recorded in Paris, or so.

Weren't they all?
