#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10254 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 "The dry knock of an idiotic hammer penetrates the outer stillness. One, two, three, ten, twenty strikes and afterwards a wild whistling and squeaking as if a ball of mud was falling into clear water, then follows a rattling, howling and screaming like the clamour of a metal pig, the cry of a donkey or the amorous croaking of a monstrous frog. The offensive chaos of this insanity combines into a compulsive, pulsing rhythm. Listen to this screaming for only a few minutes and one involuntarily pictures an orchestra of sexually wound-up madmen conducted by a stallion-like creature who is swinging his giant genitals." - Maxim Gorky, giving his opinion about jazz music.

JWfangirl1992 18 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 For some reason a lot of the videos/mp3 files that were posted from sites other than youtube weren't loading so I couldn't hear/see most of them. However, when scrolling through this I immediately thought of this song. I love these two so much.

filmmusic 1249 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I just watched a marvellous film yesterday (no, I'm not in the wrong thread): THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS about 2 jazz pianists-brothers (the Bridges Brothers) and a singer (an excellent Oscar nominated Michelle Pfeiffer). It triggered my interest in jazz, and I found this list here with 10 essential albums to listen to: http://www.jazz.org/blog/10-essential-jazz-albums/ I'm trying to find what are considered the Star Wars, Jaws, Lawrence of Arabia, Gone with the Wind etc. in jazz music. I have listened to the first 5 albums in that list. My favourite one is the Ella and Louis album. I generally love slow, soft jazz. The thing about most of jazz thought that kept me from listening to it is that the improvisatory character of it, makes me not remember the music and not know which piece is which. It feels like you don't have something to grab on.. Anyway, if anyone more knowledgeable has other suggestions too about the absolute essential jazz albums (or can guide me to a list with essential albums from some highly esteemed source), please say so. There are so many lists in the net, don't know where to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
