Yes back in da-day, in the 'olden times', that was a common translation of the title in da sub-cultA! I've done my fair share of "25" in my day, if that's what you're asking...

Eric VB Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Have a good weekend guys. I'm driving younger daughter up to Interlochen. Wish her the best as she chases the bliss we all started chasing years ago. Larry. Wave as you round Lake Michigan; I'll be waving back. What a wonderful experience for your daughter. All the best to her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legatoboy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I had just noticed in your old avitar photo of yourself that you had the general look of a gentleman of leisure, so I was just basing it on that! So I guess YEAH! Lennie Tristano was a big proponent of acid BTW. I'm not necessarily a proponent of that now and would never suggest anyone take it for any reason. I have partaken a few times but mostely mesc.. I think you'd be surprise how many older jazz musicians were into that. Like Maynard Furgson, he and his wife lived in that Victorian Mansion upstate in 63' with Leary as documented in the Electric Koolaid Acid Test. Strange days indeed! Anyway I don't want to hijack this thread! Griff, now you look like a man that can appreciate this, ya know!

ProfD Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 nice, as we see jazzers don't want to be rich... Initially, jazz musicians were more interested in pushing the limits of improvisational music. At a time when folks were more open-minded musically i.e. 50s-70s, things started taking off as evidenced by the recorded material in jazz and other genres. From the 70s to present, some jazz musicians have managed to get rich too. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

ProfD Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Somehow, I knew rich jazz musician would conjure up that image. Even that particular cat didn't get rich by accident. Many folks who proclaim to like jazz cite his music as the object of their affection. Guess he managed to write a few hits. There are fewer rich musicians within any genre compared to those aspiring just to be heard. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

Jazz+ Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Kenny G caught the peak of the "$mooth jazz" wave. Smooth jazz would be better named "pop jazz". It usually has a commercial R&B style funk beat,a pop song format, and a minimum of improvisation. I like Joe Sample's and Jeff Lorber's smooth jazz work.

gangsu Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Shouldn't a musician understand music more than a listener? If not, why do they pay us to play? +1 http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/1662/gladhe7.gif Catapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam. I have a catapult.

The headliners: Friday-Average White Band, Saturday-Kenny G, Sunday-Ohio Players. I could choose any night to attend. Which would you have picked?? I grew up loving AWB. It could have had something to do with the album cover ... http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s17313.jpg I heard them recently. Can't remember who they were in concert with - maybe Hall & Oates. Anyway, I enjoyed them. But the Ohio Players may be a better performance. Maybe. I've got a secret love for funk. Of course, if you're judging by album covers, the Players definitely have something to offer... http://www.musline.com/news/9-3-08/honey-ohio-players.jpg If it came down to attending a Kenny G concert... or getting caught holding my wife's purse, Ummmmmmmmmm, so how 'bout those VIKINGS, huh?

orangefunk Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 haha.. In their heyday they (AWB and OP) could not be beat... but now I guess its not the same... I used to play the "Skintight" track a helluva lot about 15 years ago... and "Pick up the Pieces" is a classic of sorts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I used to like AWB and Ohio Players, back in the day. If I caught them on the tube or something, I'd watch and enjoy. Not sure if I'd spend money to go to a concert, though.

Legatoboy Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I opened for AWB twice with KKB, they (AWB) are basically two Scottish brothers who's name escapes me right now which kinda caught me off guard like watching The Simpsons or something. 2 bottles of Dewars must have been in the riders because they were in the green rooms both times! I hear they like Dewars! 2 Scottish brothers, it's really like The Commitments! They surround themselves with great young players now! Not sure who else was in the original band! Funny, it's was like a cartoon when I found out about that and I applied it as I listened/watched their set! I imagined them drunk on Dewars actually!
