Are There Any Jazz Lovers Out There?

[Elvis]

Very cool, Wiz.
Man, Nick Fatool. What a drummer.

Hey, in case you weren't aware, there's a nice little web session going on almost everyday.
The host is a drummer who played in an all-girl trio up around the Boston-NY area, back in the 90's.
They're all top notch players and the drummer now has this website, and plays with several people down in Texas.

Like the Chinese, the Japanese start them young. Watch this:

When it comes to Senri Kawaguchi, I prefer this performance...

[Old Wizard]

Yup, she's a cutie alright. These kids will hopefully help to keep jazz alive.
Have you listened to Melba Liston on the trombone?

 

[Elvis]

The only Liston I ever heard of is Sonny.
I was listening to some Berkley chick sax player a couple of weeks ago on youtube.
Pretty darn good. Think I can remember her name? LOL! Riiiiight.
I'll check out Melba, and if I can ever remember, or stumble across, that sax player chick, I'll post a video here.
Thanks for the heads up.

While Jazz isn't my favourite genre of music, I do like a well played tune, vocals and melody. I sometimes stop off in the local Jazz bar in town 'The Yardbird'. Mostly it has student artists, open mic nights and a local jazz/group playing, but also occasionally it has famous bands and musicians playing too.

As to what Jazz I recently listen, too, 'Post Modern Jukebox' is a tubeyou fav'.

 

[Elvis]

Razor,

Is there a large Japanese population in your neck of the woods?

 

[Old Wizard]

Elvis, what do you think of Earl Bostic, the sax player?

 

[Elvis]

Bostic's cool.
Very soulful sound. Influenced by Pres, no doubt.
I think he played with Louis Jordan for a bit, didn't he?
I guess if I had to name a "favourite" sax player, I'd split it between Mulligan and Coltrane.
I tend to listen to them more than any other.

Wiz, you remember Diana Dors?
A little before my time, but I've heard some of her music before. The epitome of a "hood orniment", if you catch my drift.

Sorry, off-top

According to the description for this video, Art Tatum performing "Sweet Lorraine" in the house of Ray Heindorf. This is from the album 20th century piano genius.

Razor,

Is there a large Japanese population in your neck of the woods?

Erm, no I've only ever met one Japanese person in B'ham in 7 years, why? ..perhaps my youtube account does have a lot of Japanese music for some to appreciate.

...but there is a reasonable ex student Chinese population here amongst the many other nationalities living in Brum.

[Elvis]

I ask because you list your location as "Tamago no Chie"

That's Japanese. Generally, it translates to "The Intelligent Egg", or, "The Wise Egg".

If you live in an area that is identified by a Japanese name or phrase, it wouldn't be much of a jump to assume that there may be a sizeable Japanese population there.

...of course, the phrase could also translate differently via another language that also uses those particular words, but I recognize that as being Japanese in origin.

This video is from an old TV show some of you may remember - Jazz Scene USA, with Oscar Brown Jr.

Shorty Rogers's band, featuring a very young Gary Peacock and one of my favourite drummers, Larry Bunker.

Ah yes, whoops, forgot that, eggs of intalect/intalect of eggs (intelligence/mind/thoughts etc.) in the brackets it gives a more realistic location sometimes I brain fart, sometimes I have good info, sometimes bad, hence the eggs

Here's another late 40s early 50s late night DJ theme.
