Hardbopjazz

Anyone here have this documentary? Was thinking of buying it, but just wanted to know what others think of it.

Thanks for the info.

Can someone recommend a PC based software to copy music? I have some shows I had recorded back in the 70’s and 80’s on cassettes, which I want to convert to CDR’s. When I copy them down to my hard drive and burn them to CDR’s, the quality diminishes. In some cases, the drums over power all other instruments. But when listening from the source tape, the music sounds just fine. It could be a generation drop off when making copies from audio to digital, but not too sure.

I needed this today. That was so funny.

Dan, I was going to include "Goin' to Chicago", Count Basie with Joe Williams and Lambert Hendricks and Ross. There's some great vocals on that album.

Motown and soul music.

A co worker asked me to make him a CD of jazz music. He never listened to jazz much, and wanted me to try to get him hooked. So far these are what I selected. 1) Moanin' Art Blakey 2) Sidewinder Lee Morgan 3) Song for my Father Horace Silver 4) Bye Bye Blackbird Miles and Coltrane What else should I include?

If you can stick it out four more years, things should get better.

My top place to live was Coral Gables FL. Never been there. Second was Houma, Louisiana.

Fill out some questions and it will tell you the city you should be living in. http://www.findyourspot.com/

I believe he wanted to be close to home. He had, I believe 5 kids.

The two well known artists performing at the festival will be Ramsey and Curtis Stigers. http://www.geneharris.org/home.html

Anyone have the Blue Discography that can tell me the date of the rejected Dexter Gordon Sonny Stitt session?

I try to vary what I listen to. I will just shut off listening for a week and see if this brings it back to me. At where I work, they changed the music playing in the background to sappy top 40 crap. I think this is what has made it hard to enjoy listening to just about anything. I am here already for 2 hours today, and I've heard Toxic by Britney Spears 2 times.

I am looking forward to seeing Lou Donaldson again at the Village Vanugard at the end of November. This will be the eighth time I will have seen him live. Every time I've seen him, he varies very little from prior shows. It must get a bit tiresome for the musicians to play the same tunes day in and day out. I wonder if he thinks this is the first time the audience has seen him live. But still he plays at 100%. Anyone else planning to see him?

This has been discussed before here, but I want to bring it up again. For the past month or so I find I'm not able to listen to any jazz recordings and get myself inspired. In fact, I started to listen to other styles of music, hoping it will lead me back to my first love of music, jazz. But I still can find any inspiration to listen again. How do you kick start yourself to find the groove and start enjoying again?

It's a great clip. I have a copy of this film and I am amazed at his technique. Here’s a guy playing real clean and fast, and he only had 2 fingers and his thumb working on his right hand. He makes it look so easy.

You're kidding, right? I'm 100% serious. Her cousin who is 10 plays and she watched him, and picked up on how each piece moves. She asks me every night when I come from work to play chess.

My daughter just turned 5. She has started to learn the game of chess. Any chess players on this board? I am wondering if starting her at 5 is too early. She knows how each piece moves and that the king is key to the game. I've been playing with her every day for anout 8 days. I don't let her win. When she makes poor moves I try to explain to her why that wasn't a good move. I don't recall how old I was when I started playing.

Thanks

They played together in 1964. Did this ever get released on record?

This person with this session replied back to me stating he isn’t trading it. In fact he didn’t know he had it in his list. So it will remain a mystery to me. I had asked him how good were the musicians’ playing. His reply was the old weatherman’s answer, (50% chance of rain), “not the best or the worst he’s heard.

His list he sent shows 21 tracks. So it could be the whole session.

I haven't heard back since I emailed that I would trade a show that I have which he wanted. When I do, I'll let you know.

I received an email from someone that claims to have this session and wanted something that I have.
