What Are You Listening To? - Beach - 16-08-2009
Geez, Tigger I hope the missus hid the 'house-keeping' money! :biggrin1:
What Are You Listening To? - Tiggi - 17-08-2009
Between the eight 2-disc sets, and a 3-disc Miles set, I now have 34 new Jazz albums (already had Saxophone Colossus), and the total outlay was less than £28.
Mrs Tiggi is very good in letting me spend on new music, but I wouldn't dare mess with the house-keeping...

At the current exchange rate, that's the equivalent of about $AU56, or $AU2.95 per disc for some really great Jazz recordings mate. :jaw:

Listening to what was probably his 'Blues' album by the enigmatic Robert Palmer. Sadly, it was also to be his final release as he die within months of its release.

"Street Woman" by Ornette Coleman

trbc08 Wrote:"Street Woman" by Ornette ColemanI'm afraid that Ornette Coleman leaves me cold. I find nothing musical in what he does, including the album he did with Pat Metheny & Charlie Haden a few years back. :hand:

I had two of his albums I came by a few years back and just gave them to a friend, my old saxophonist and his wife, who I knew liked him.

I can understand, Beach. His music is an acquired taste, a taste which some never acquire. My introduction to jazz wasn't exactly orthodox, so I think that it helps me have a greater appreciation of his music.

My introduction to jazz wasn't exactly orthodox, so I think that it helps me have a greater appreciation of his music.That's fair enough too! That whole concept of 'Free' Jazz leaves me decidedly cold - I truly don't see it as music, just noise.
I find it has no meter, time, or melody - all things that I believe are required in music.

My philosophy in terms of music is decidedly postmodern. I find that it is impossible to define what music "is," just as with the theory of relativity and the thought of many 20th century philosophers it is impossible to say, definitively, that "A is A, A is not B" etc. I also think the idea of collective freeform improvisation, inspired by the twelve tone method which places no emphasis on any note in the chromatic scale (and in free jazz, no emphasis on a particular instrument) is extremely anarchic and socialist in nature, which appeals to me, and could potentially be very spiritual. As far as making music and my low level of skill at playing instruments, I've always been interested in improvisation moreso than writing an immortal melody or what have you.
Sorry for the pretentious psychobabble on my part.
