| | Drifting in Music | | I found it very relaxing as I was picking musical interests, but as time went on, I realised the catalouge goes on forever and ever...
I had to stop on the nine millionth page.
Do you get lost in picking interests on myLot?
I love dreaming of the days when I could just do as I please and take my time adding interests.
Sadly it is now too time consuming ...as you know my friends, actual discussion making and responding overules the activities here right, doesn't it?
Or do you find yourself lost in picking interests?
Herbie Hancock, Ghostface Killah, DMC, Isley Bros., good bye for now my musical fellows...[em]sad[/em][em]happy[/em][em]thumbup[/em] | |
| | Jones'n for Jazz: An Unabashedly Biased Commentary on Jazz "Must Haves" | | I think it would be rather bold to try to write to the history and current practices in and of jazz in one article. Either that or, hey, I just don't have the endurance or the attention span to attempt such a comprehensive undertaking and/or analysis. I can, however, offer a starting point that I think would provide a jazz newcomer to some delicious and EVER so exciting pieces of and moments in jazz music. I can in no way begin to know all of what is good and great in the vast discography of jazz which, by now is closing in on the century mark. You can look as far back as Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, and the heavyweights in blues and gospel, in vaudville and, yes, even the burlesque, and find some claim to the rich history and collective flavors that make up the stew we today enjoy as much as ever.I can tell you to go drink up and absorb yourself in the musical treasures of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson. I can drool on about the tones and talent of Billie "Lady Day" Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and even the sultry and sumptuous Bessie Smith or Ma Rainey - both of very early blues and jazz... | |

| | RIP JOE ZAWINUL, one of the greatest musicians of all times!!! | | I just hear the news and it really made me feel bad..."Joe (Josef Erich) Zawinul, a jazz keyboardist and composer, one of the first jazz fusion musicians along with Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin and Miles Davis, died from cancer on September 11th, 2007 in Vienna, his native town. He was hospitalized on August 7, merely a week after concluding a six-week tour in Hungary. Zawinul was 75 years old."His official web, http://www.zawinulmusic.com/, says "Joe Zawinul was born in Earth time on 07 July 1932 and was born in Eternity time
on 11 September, 2007. He, and his music, will continue to inspire!"It is a great lost for humanity and nowadays arts, and I hope he is having a nice travel to the other world or whatever, and I wish his music is never lost and we the new generation know how to respect it and follow his ways to new creations... | |
