stepay Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 dp2, Yes, music is music. It's definitely VERY possible to go from classical music to rock\blues (as I did). We've just mentioned some things to be aware of, that's all. I'm very glad the journey was possible, because I really don't like to PLAY classical music much at all. I like to listen to it once in a while, but playing some great classic rock with killer organ sounds in there is what floats my boat! Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?"

dp2 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 On the other hand, I would have no problems ripping Miles Davis runs over Mozart. I've even contemplated making that bumblebee fly with some back-beat--and a screech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp2 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 That's one of the things I loved about some of the avant garde jazz and classical projects in the 1960s. Too bad I wasn't alive then . . . oh well, at least there are recordings that I can jam to. One example of this is Dolphy's "Inner Flight". He masterfully wove jazz and classical styled phrasing throughout that piece. Each part fit right where he played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latchmo Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Nina Simone - "Love Me Or Leave Me" - not sure from what album, but she rips a killer classical sounding solo over a swinging rhythm section in this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at Napster.com. In case you didn't know, you can listen to anything they have there 5 times each! Pretty cool way to see if you like something. I'm listening to the song right now. Not my cup of tea, but not bad. Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latchmo Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 sorry - yes you can find it at Napster BTW, if you are outside the USA you can only listen to 30 second clips at Napster. But it sounds like the same version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
