Phil Meloy Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 At just 25 years old, Rick has exploded with his first solo album. they didn't sell, so he ate them all. Stuffed 'em in even after he was more than fed up. Kaboom! Here's a photo of Rick just prior to his explosion... Quote
Clunky Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Well Mr Parma has succeeded in getting us to talk about him even if it's not exactly complimentary. All publicity is good publicity as the cliche goes. So now when we see him signed for Blue Note we will know who is and what he stands for.... Quote
JSngry Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 I'm still wondering why he has no pictures of himself on his website nor a way to purchase his CD from same. Seems like with no pix and no tangible product, the wannabe shoe might be on the other foot... HOWEVER.... Having listened to his downloads, I can honestly say that he seems to be playing honestly, like he really WANTS to play this stuff and is enjoying doing it. Good! HOWEVER.... His phrasing is totally devoid of nuance and subtlety. You want to use David Sanborn as a musical role model, fine. But David Sanborn is a MOTHERFUCKER - a total MASTER of phrasing, tonal variation and vocalization, and melodic phraseology. There's DEPTH in what he plays (although some of the "jazz purists" can't/won't hear it). Same goes for the material and the production - no subtlety, no nuance, no depth. Entirely superficial (as in all surface, not as in lack of sincerity). Everything is "right", sure. But you can say the same thing about a dial tone. So far, he sounds like a cat who's got the tools. What he doesn't sound like is somebody who's got the skills. Yet. He should stop telling everybody how great he is now, and then start telling himself how great he not yet is. In every idiom, there are true masters, and if you ain't at their level, all boasts are empty. For evey Jaco Pastorius, there's a gazillion Brian Bosworths.. Quote

catesta Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 I'll bet "saxman" probably spends a minimum of 6 hours a day posting spam on various websites, all while eating junk food, and drinking beer. It's a wonder he still finds time to look at porn. Just another fat white dude that thinks Kerry is a radical, if you ask me. Quote
Free For All Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Can the adminstrator delete the other threads? Why waste the bandwidth... Yes, plus then we won't have to waste so much time searching for all the great smart-ass comments! Quote
catesta Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 You forgot the Bronx Cheers, you know the saxman is all about Bronx Cheers... Shame on me. Quote
