Re: UPCOMING TOPIC, DISCUSSIONS & SUGGESTIONS AUGUST – JAZZ

Went to  a  progressive  jazz concert  in Greece  once  that  some  freinds   organised  . Another  freind  turned  up  part   way  through  the  first  set   and  said , when are  they  starting , I  said   they  are  playing  now  ,she  said  I  thought  they  were  tuning   up . To  be  honest it    did seem like   all  three  members  were   playing  different  tunes  at  the  same  time . LOL
How  ever  I  did  get  chance  to  play  with    a  couple  of  guys  who  used  to  play  at  Ronnie  Scotts   in London both  terriffic  sax players . Sadly  one  passed  a  few  weeks   ago  ,RIP   George  Lee  you  were  the  best  sax  player   I've  ever  known .

Grah
you seem to have a huge network of musical contacts.
i like a bit of jazz  Diana Krall is my go to at the moment.
one of my favorite songs is  beyond the sea which is more swing type of jazz.
i also enjoy country swing. most music is pretty good.

Re: UPCOMING TOPIC, DISCUSSIONS & SUGGESTIONS AUGUST – JAZZ

My favorite Jazz performance is this one by Cab Calloway.

Although I like other Jazz songs better ( especially a bunch by Louis Armstrong and John Coltrane)
this remains my favorite to watch
