JSngry Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Man, I checked out that Alphonso Blackwell thing that was hyping all the "dance grooves", and DAMN was I not impressed. You guys ever heard of Masters at Work? Now, that's dance music you can listen to with as much engagement as you can dance to. For that matter, ther's any number of good house producers who lay down grooves suitable for improvising over. Unfortunately, from the samples I just heard, none of them are currently in your employ. Not wishing anybody any ill will or anything, far from it, but please stop making music that has no groove, no fluidity, no bounce, no grace or sensuality, and then calling it "dance" music. PLEASE!

Big Al Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Smooth jazz.... now THERE'S something we don't talk nearly enough about around here.... Edited January 14, 2008 by Big Al Quote
JSngry Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 "Smooth" jazz I got no problem with. Smoothed-out and/or smoothed-over jazz, hey, that's another thing altogether... It's really instrumental pop. But if pop ain't gonna at least wink at you, then damn is it obnoxious. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 Looks like she might be a decent chess player. Quote

Swinging Swede Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 I think she played in Grandson Ellington's outfit. You're right; a Google search confirms that. So she is today's Harry Carney! Quote

DukeCity Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Yeah, but at least they were up front enough to cop to being a record label, user name "Utopia Record" instead of doing one of those ultra slimey "street team" things: "Hey everybody! Lately I've been really grooving to a super great saxophonist! She's really smooth, kind of a cross between Richard Elliot and Paul Desmond, but with a little Charlie Coltrane thrown in. Check out some of her sound clips at apoijalkjn.com. Anyone else into her?" Edited January 15, 2008 by DukeCity Quote
JSngry Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 Word. And I'm not nearly as opposed to the concept of "smooth jazz" as I am the actual results.... Quote
Chas Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 And I'm not nearly as opposed to the concept of "smooth jazz" as I am the actual results.... Substitute "free jazz" for "smooth jazz" and I'm with you..... Quote

Substitute "free jazz" for "smooth jazz" and I'm with you..... Uh oh, a wink...a seemingly sincere friendly gesture... Dude, I read the board and post in a " top down" order. So when you read a not-quite "winking" response I gave you in another thread "above" this one" keep that in mind ok? Quote
RDK Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Utopia Forum! Well now we know where to go if/when Organissimo ever goes down again. Quote
Aggie87 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Utopia Forum! Well now we know where to go if/when Organissimo ever goes down again. We should all individually go over to their board and spam their board with our favorite recording from an artist we like! Quote
sal Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Something about that photograph just made me laugh out loud. It belongs in an evil, alternate universe. Quote
