Selim Sivad Posted December 13, 2003 Report Posted December 13, 2003 Greetings, fellow jazz-heads! An internet buddy of mine Jim Dye told me about this forum...hope you guys got room for one more jazzbo. Been listening to the stuff since the late seventies and almost everyday I still discover something new. Scanning some of the posts here, I'm sure to discover at a much greater frequency, now. Nice little community you got here, for sure. C'ya around... Regards, SS Quote

Selim Sivad Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Posted December 14, 2003 Yes, If you wouldn't mind, tell us a bit about yourself, Selim. Maybe mention some of your favorite recordings (especially, perhaps, some that are a bit more obscure). And anything else you'd like to offer. Welcome!!! Well… I was born and raised in Louisiana, but have spent most of my adult life in Texas, where I currently reside. I have a wife and kid and work for a large telecom company. Inevitably, someone will ask “do you play an instrument”? I did play guitar throughout my childhood, but when it started to interfere with college studying/partying, I put it down…perhaps the biggest regret of my life. Someday, I’d like to take up bass, though. It seems I’m always listening for it in most songs I check out, even rock. Speaking of which, my other musical interests cover blues, folk-rock prog rock/fusion and some classic rock. But jazz has always been my main love. It’s probably impossible to come up with a comprehensive list of favorites without forgetting some. What I’ll attempt instead is a representative cross section of what I like (without including the more obvious choices like “Kind Of Blue” and “Time Out”). Many of the artists listed below are by no means obscure, but these albums are ones that didn’t get the recognition they got from other albums (but are still great, IMO): Tim Byrne – Diminuative Mysteries John Scofield – Shinola Grant Green – Matador Chick Corea – Now He Sings, Now He Sobs Michael Wolff Trio – Jumpstart! Dave Brubeck Quartet – At Carnegie Hall Tony Williams –Tokyo Live Roland Kirk – Rip. Rig and Panic/Now Please Don’t You Cry, Beautiful Edith Pat Martino – Head & Heart Monty Alexander – Yard Movement Jerry Granelli - Song I Thought I Heard Buddy Sing Henry Threadgill – Song Out Of My Trees Pharoah Sanders – Journey To The One Dave Holland Quintet – Prime Directive Miles Davis – The Complete Silent Way Sessions Joe Henderson – Tetragon Paul Gonsalves – Getting’ Together Art Pepper/George Cables – Goin’ Home Emily Remler – East To Wes Horace Parlan – Complete Blue Note Sessions Bobby Hutcherson – Dialogue Larry Young – Into Somethin’ Crusaders – 2nd Crusade (OK, I know, it’s pushing it calling this “jazz”, but I likes it ;&) ) Peter Brotzmann – Machine Gun Jimmy Smith – Root Down Jean-Luc Ponty – King Kong Keith Jarrett – Facing You Peter Erskine – Sweet Soul John Abercrombie – Abercrombie/Johnson/Erskine Brian Blade Fellowship – Perceptual Sonny Sharrock – Ask The Ages Kenny Garrett – Songbook Archie Shepp - Fire Music Sam Rivers – Complete Blue Note Sonny Stitt – Endgame Brilliance Danny Gatton, et al – New York Stories Don Pullen – New Beginnings Eric Dolphy/Booker Little – Far Cry Ike Quebec – Blue and Sentimental Eberhard Weber – Fluid Rustle A few recent releases I’ve been diggin’: Miles Davis – Complete Jack Johnson Sessions Miles Davis – In Person Saturday Night at the Blackhawk, Complete Pat Martino – Live At Yohshi’s Kurt Rosenwinkel - Heartcore Garage A Trios – Emphasizer Inevitably, I’ll think of something else that I want to share my excitement over…but I’ll choose the appropriate thread to put in my two pesos Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Selim Sivad Posted December 14, 2003 Author Report Posted December 14, 2003 (edited) Welcome and keep posting. Any friend of Jim's. . . Lol, it's gonna take some time before I see your posts and not think it's me..."jazzbo" is what I go by everywhere else on the internet. Incidentally, I lived in Austin many years ago...had a lot of great times there and saw a lot of great live music (most of which was not jazz, though). Thanks for the greet.
