paul secor Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Don't care about influence - only about what moves me. Much of what Django played does that - very little of what Zawinul played does it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I think he meant that Wayne was just "crazy", and that's far from a unique observation. I just wish I could be that kind of crazy... Maybe his social skill are kinda strange...the interviews I have read - not many - give me that impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7/4 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Okay, if not Zawinul, who? Derek Bailey or Allan Holdsworth. Wait a second...those guys are English. Do they count as European? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we're certainly not in Asia, Africa or America here! And my passport has "European Union" and "United Kingdom" on it.

7/4 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Well, we're certainly not in Asia, Africa or America here! And my passport says "Citizen of the European Union". Thanks, I wasn't too sure. So Bailey...one of the fathers of Free Improvisation (is it Jazz?) and Holdsworth...his own style of guitar playing, less and less "fusion", more Jazz every year.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 In addition, there are heaps of people responsible for the "great American songbook", such as Irving Berlin, who were European. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 In addition, there are heaps of people responsible for the "great American songbook", such as Irving Berlin, who were European. MG Technically, maybe. Berlin was born in Russia, and came to the US when he was five. All of the songs were written in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
