... problem ... experimental ... I think Marsalis just looked at the business side of it. Jazz musicians, by and large, don't make a lot of money (certainly...
I think all the innovators of jazz aren't really jazz innovators. They are just inventors of their own styles. All the people that follow and copy them *Paul...
Yes Tim but what duane is trying to say is that there are very few ppl out there like you who actually follow these guys. I'm sort of a casual listener of...
I disagree. or at least, that's not how I read it. However, I did get that out of it as well. But I just chose to say something else. Peace, Tim ... a...
... other ... That's what I'm suggesting. Jazz may have reached its limit as to how far it can go and still keep it's core audience (small though it may be)....
Duane, I believe it's harder to appreciate the work of Ornette Coleman or Cecil Taylor if you are a musician. Musicians have to sacrifice more to gain...
Tim, you make some very good points here. I think we all, to different extents, tend to prefer music that reinforces our expectations. If you're listening to a...
Keith, Most of the music that is popular is very general. I believe it's made so that as many people as possible can find some way to connect to it. For...
I get your point Keith. I don't like to advertise but if you try kazaa.com you'll find pretty much everything known to man and you can download it for free....
Over in the Bix Beiderbecke forum there has been considerable discussion of the European reaction to Louis when he first visited the continent in 1932. Some of...
Thanks, b.bad, Those quotes say as much about the times and the social climate in Europe in the 30s as they do about Armstrong. Times have certainly changed. ...
The Europeans were just basically treating him like crap because he didn't fit the stereotype of how they thought a black should act on stage. Besides just...
I think they were just trying to foster the image of jazz as a music created by these "savage" or "uncivilized" Negoes. They couldn't conceieve that these...
Well Duane the criticisms of Louis were obviously racially driven. If a white musician acted that way they probably would've jumped up and down. As for the...
Andrew, I don't know if the critiscisms were completely racially driven. That was deffinatly part of it. But I believe the nature of Louie's music forced a lot...
Hi all, I'm leaving for Boston in an hour. So I won't be posting on this message board for a week. So I'll be back either Friday or Saturday and I'll tell you...
Hey guys I just downloaded this great trumpet solo by Eddie Calvert which was titled "Trumpet Tango". I never heard of him I was wondering if any of you may...

I think thats it....... I checked out Google and Yahoo search and found that he had a number one hit in Britain in 1951 called "Mein Papa" and that he recorded...
Hey peeps since this club has turned into a group it has been disaster for the involvement in the message board. Well so far I've been checking out some great...
I assume you means CDs? There's Barnes & Noble, Amazon, CDNow, Django, and my usual source, eBay, from which I've picked up early trumpeters Tommy Ladnier,...
Thank you very much for the advise. I was referring to Cds, mp3s, tapes, records, anything actually because I have a combo record player, tape player, and cd...
-The difference between tape, record and CD. Years ago, I could never find the Hot5 and 7 sides on LP and had a hard time finding them on cassette tapes. I...
Hi All! My beef with CDs is that a lot of them sound "harsh." That is, too much treble. This is especially annoying on portable CD players that have no bass...
I like the sound of the records because they sound unique in their own way. They weren't made by computer so there is a human quality to each of them. In my...
