Who is your favorite Jazz musician and what is your favorite song?

[pinball1970]

Paul Desmond : "they say my music sounds like a dry martini. I thought it was more like three dry martinis."

Beautiful

 

[pinball1970]

Once reason jazz and Classical are so great is they feature beautiful sounds of all the different instruments.

Does not all music do that?

Well yes and no, in rock music (which I like) you are a little restricted, guitar/distorted guitar, organ but not always.

Same with the other styles but in classical you can do what the hell you want, a piano piece? You have it.

Just Cello? Yes, Just voices? Full orchestra? Organ its all there.

Same with Jazz, this one is a flute piece but there is a cool as hell electric piano solo.

Change "all" to "many" or to "several", and then it's good.

Which sentence? Both?

 

[pinball1970]

When rock meets classical meets jazz.

The Fender/Rhodes piano might be the only new instrument to catch on in the 20th century. It's more like an electric celeste. The celeste never really made it, but will be kept around forever to play The Nutcracker. Kind of like Christmas cookies.

I liked what I posted, I thought it was pithy.

Ok I will put it like this. There is a lot more versatility and virtuoso technique in jazz and classical than other genres.
Where you get great musicianship in rock and prog you will find strong classical/ jazz connection/ back ground.

More so in piano/organ and Guitar than the other instruments.
In my opinion. @symbolipoint

 

[BWV]

Speaking of virtuoso keyboard and pedal chops, DOMi is a monster

[BWV]

 

[pinball1970]

These guys did birdland too.

 

[pinball1970]

Hoping the live version will play.

 

[pinball1970]

This girl was special.

 

[pinball1970]

That is nuts! I think if you can play that you can probably play anything.

 

[pinball1970]

Finally found out what that piece is!

 

[pinball1970]

The 60s/70s used good music for TV. This is how we learned what jazz was!

 

[pinball1970]

Trying to find a version that will not be blocked.

Great example. Chords, close harmony, brass and flute stabs, brilliant.

Good , I identified this on Google search a song

This group pre dates the Manhattan Transfer

 

[Hornbein]

What breath control.



Terrific arrangement.

[Hornbein]

The antithesis of jazz. Get oughtta here.

Then what do you call this slop

 

[Hornbein]

Then what do you call this slop

You are devoid of musical taste.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. Many are that way. Perhaps there is hope.

Anyone would think we are discussing climate change or the wave function collapse!
I would say “you’re no good” is more rock blues and “Lush life” is full on crunchy chords jazz.
All good music. (peace man!)
