Thanks for introducing me to a new artist. I'll definitely check her out. You might have noticed I am quite the conniseur of female jazz vocalists.
Nice version of Stolen Moments. I detect a Latin beat.
It's definitely a WMD. Maybe hydrogen. A reminder of the ultimate consequence of our failure to peacefully resolve our
differences.
Thanks Ray...for the different size (intensity) of nuclear (human destruction) bombs. ...Instructional.
* It is a fanatically fascinating man's project. It reminds me of the holocaust.

I am a little surprised; that few people weren't familiar with the angelical Melody Gardot. I'm glad now that she has been introduced to some few of you.
Great artist infrastructure; architecturally well balanced...from the heart of hurting stones. ...Melody's lifestory you'll have to learn by reading...quite exceptional...her accident.
Yes, "In a Silent Way" is one of Mile's favorites of mine...great great music. ...It flows peacefully above the Earth's atmosphere, in the dark sky night with all the scintillating stars. ...In a silent way, through the milky way galaxy of the firmament. ...That's high praise trumpet ? playing. :b
On to the next set after IASW
That complete set is terrific. If you feel IASW is special go out of your way and get 'complete'.
Now it's 'Bitch's Brew' complete. Wonder if this started genre
Damn cold out -20wc
Carla Bley from time to time is what I'm listening to. I've collected her works. She's composer and bandleader. She plays but isn't technically stellar. I like to think her music is, though.
I stumbled into this video a moment ago, it's a nice duet (in this incarnation of the tune).
i just have a question.Can anyone tell me why I am not a Miles Davis fan? I appreciate his greatness. . i've studied his work, he is just not on my go to list. Even non-jazz fans like KOB. That does not count.
Same here Ray and Ron; I have some CDs of her...on the WATT music record label, and one on ECM.
She's an avant gardiste of abstract/jazz/classical fusion, an 'alternatiste' and 'progressiste' of music that bites in travelling spiritually in the new conscientious world of the calculated moment. Listening to her playing is like transporting your mind into new territories of unexplored horizons that dance between earth sky and water...flowing naturally without you even knowing about it.

Free, improvisational jazz on a trumpet or saxophone...Davis and Coltrane and Rollins and Wallace and Giuseppe and Blakey and Armstrong and Baker, ...is all in words without words. Miles is way ahead, always was always will. Nobody can tell the music that is playing to the soul; on how it can vibrates more for some people and less for others.
It is an absolute non-definition in the ears of the beholder.
Your question is un-answerable. ...Just like Star Wars or Mad Max or Under the Skin or Birdman.

who IS on your go-to list? Its all personal, and perhaps whom you DO go might start to answer your question. For me, while i think 'Round Midnight is my favorite Miles Davis album (and I do listen to it a fair amount), i still listen to far more Oscar Peterson, Hank Mobley, Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, etc...
There is a boatload of trumet players out there. Added to that I was more of a saxophone fan. I prefer the unmuted horn.I suppose Hugh Masekela is my favorite. Clifford Brown with Saarah Vaugh. Louis Armstrong....
