I like Duke Ellington's Second Sacred Concert more than Yanni.

If Duke Ellington was recorded while urinating, I'd like that more than Yanni.

OKay.... I'm done with this. SHut the fuck up you freaking dumbasses. If you don't like what I post screw you all. Don't keep coming into my topics if they don't sound interesting. All you are trying to do is instigate a fight.

Hey D,

Yanni is a gateway musician, certainly more evolved in musical presentation than a lot of popular music transmitted via the electronic media, but if you dig a little bit you might find who inspired him, his presentations and the virtuosity of his side people. Bringing up Ellington's Second Sacred Concert was an absurdity, yet it is large scale, big band with choir, solo voices, dancers, and a "big picture" topic. If you enjoy the lyricism of Yanni's music, you'll be devestated by Ellington's saxophonist Johnny Hodges playing "Heaven," for instance. Yanni's emotionalism might seem a little too obvious or superficial or make pretend or merely "nice" after you've spent some time with Duke, or Beethoven. Or not. In any case, just read some of the other posts and you're doing great for a 14 year old boy. Most guys your age are into sports or collecting baseball cards, not jazz music.

:cool:

I'm a girl. I don't know where the boy thing came from. But please stop. Why do you guys insist on harassing me? I'm like most of you all on here. I do like Ellingon, Count Bassie, Maynard Ferguson, Charlie Parker. All that good stuff. So can you layoff? Please?

Maybe this isn't obvious to you, but this is not your personal play-pen. I run the show here and many of the members have decades of musical experience beyond what you have. Show a little more respect please and start honing your sense of humor.
