Dan Gould Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 I mean, aside from some of my posts. From a SI interview of Tony Gwynn: SI: So what advice do you give your daughter, recording artist Anisha Nicole, about hip-hop or R&B? Gywnn: Listen to jazz (laughs). I tell my daughter all the time: You're a good singer. You should sing jazz. The kids on my San Diego State team come up to the plate with these songs and I can't understand what they are saying. It just makes me realize that I'm older and not hip anymore. So I'll continue to listen to jazz guys like Kirk Whalum and Boney James. Everything sounded so right, I'm starting to think Gwynn knows where its at ... and then I read those last five words. :bad: :bad: Quote
DTMX Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 You nailed it. When I started reading the quote I was riding a swelling wave of buttermilk goodness and then SPLAT! Biscuit hits the floor butter-side down. Now I'm disappointed. And hungry. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Who's Tony Gwynn? Why would anyone care what he thinks? MG Quote

Kirk Whalum? Boney James? Just shoot me. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Compared to most popular hip hop and rap, those guys are akin to Mozart. Quote
JSngry Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 I'm ok w/Kirk Whalum. Really. The cat can play. Not crazy about all/most of his recordings, but he's not at all a bad listen in that genre. Boney James? Hmmm.... "not offensive" is the very best I can come up with, and that's pushing the niceometer up to 11. Quote
catesta Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Good ol' Boney Mozart... ..and his orchestra. Quote

I haven't heard much Weather Report, but I was pretty pelased that Whalum (who, by the way, is pretty good on Gerald Allbright's "Live at Birdland West") wasn't trying to take Wayne Shorter's place in the band - more like Illinois Jacquet's Oh, and I loved his Jacquet and cap! I only wish these guys would do more stuff like that. MG Quote
BERIGAN Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Good ol' Boney Mozart... Swell name for a sophisticated porn star Quote
porcy62 Posted October 13, 2007 Report Posted October 13, 2007 Maybe she means Good Ole Boney M Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) Compared to most popular hip hop and rap, those guys are akin to Mozart. I would take even a mediocre rapper like Brother Ali over that smooth-jazz shit... Edited October 14, 2007 by clifford_thornton Quote
