    On a mission to like jazz

    On last thing, this is not what I meant. I never said that one was playing better than the other, they are very different cats. Although between the two, I prefer Branford Marsalis' music. Marsalis has left such a mark on Sting's music that it's difficult to come after him, and indeed, Botti...

    Yep, you forgot, condescending and patronising.

    On a mission to like jazz

    It's quite obvious that you're talking about yourself here. I agree, every opinion is questionable and opened to discussion. However, that Dizzy Gillespie was 9 years older than Miles Davis, that he was already well established and a respected musician by the time Miles Davis started his own...

    It's good, means he's still a controversial figure, after all these years. Pete Cosey's solo, joined by Lieman afterwards is quite something. That's such a great performance. Watch at 20:46 how Miles Davis makes the band stop and go while Cosey is playing. You have to face your band to do that...

    So, Miles Davis 1973: between around 12:44 and 12:46 Dave Liebman and Miles Davis play together repeatedly hitting a E flat above high C and then Miles hits an A flat above high C. On a Bb trumpet it's B flat actually, a tone away from double high C. So I take that back, it is actually...

    On a mission to like jazz

    Hi all, I haven't been posting for a long time, but still kept an eye on the thread and the videos/music posted. It's really nice to see this thread still going and expanding. I'm listening a lot to Pyeng Threadgill last album at the moment and love it. So I thought I would share that even...

    On a mission to like jazz

    Well you made your opinion quite clear, and I understand that you don't like what Miles Davis did from Bitches Brew onwards, and possibly even In A Silent Way, however dismissing his playing as early as 1948 is quite harsh. You also seem to have a confused knowledge of the history of jazz. At...

    On a mission to like jazz

    I'm catching up with the music of Pyeng Threadgill today. She's done three excellent albums that I haven't listened to for a while. Upon hearing that anew one is coming, if her indiegogo campaign is successful, I felt like listening to all of them again. Put a smile on my face. First one is...
