well, I don't need to understand the "gesture" or what's going through his mind to know that it doesn't necessarily have to be translated physically. It happens to some classical pianists as well, that they move a lot and put strange faces but that doesn't make them play better that the ones who don't, it's just some kind of help. But it's a help that looks really bad, really distracting from the music itself. But anyway, don't get me wrong, it's not like I was criticizing him, I just found it curious, after all this comes from someone who loves Keith Jarrett despite his totally anoying singing along.

so I wrote that because you said " By the way... what's going on with his head? "
and again you could not conclude things like whether it's really an exaggeration, etc, without experiencing his private causation.

anyway it seems to me it's like the shadow of his feeling (or his emotion) rather than a help.
it's natural that it appears there if he feels something inside, and he doesn't need to hide it all the way.
in large music is about humanity in my opinion it's good some of them cannot behave like an android and wear a poker face. I'd enjoy each style.

Queen Latifah and Natalie Cole are also excellent vocalists

Great to see this thread, i hadn't noticed it before..

i've been listening to a lot of Miles Davis and Django Reinhardt lately and also getting into Bill Evans who i wasn't familiar with before. i love Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra as well....two of the best imo..

and bossa nova....such cool music...I think it's one of the only genres of music i could listen to in any mood.

wanted to find "spartacus" by john young trio on youtube since it may sound good at this time of the year, but no luck. a nice little piano piece. and my favorite take on that love theme.

btw, I like this.

probably my favourite band right now:

it's not one of my favourite songs, but I wanted a video where they played with double bass, it sounds a thousand times better than the electric bass in my opinion.

And another personal favourite, Avishai Cohen:

By the way, yesterday I saw Nils Petter Molvaer live, apart from the visuals it was great, the drummer was fantastic.

Oh, I just attended a small concert at a local bar where my friend played with his band (or rather one of them). I had no Idea what I was in for, but it turns out they played some jazz and dapped in some funk.. They played some bossa nova, with their own take on it. Improvising as well.. My friend played the sax. It was really good.. It has made me want do hear some more.. I really am in a jazzy mood ATM.. will look something up in the morning..

Festat · 20-11-2009

My absolute favourite is Ella Fitzgerald.

I'm a big, big fan of Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis too.

flyingace · 13-12-2009

I wonder why isn't contemporary jazz more popular, especially what they call nu-jazz and all the fusion stuff. I mean, if people like electronic music and rock, why don't they like it if you add the word jazz and look at you as if you were a weirdo?

Yesterday a friend did that to me when I told her that I was listening to Eivind Aarset.
Surprislingly, they don't look at you that way if you say you're listening to Miles Davies or Sonny Rollins, even if Eivind Aarset suits their tastes better. Oh well, life is full of mysteries.

I love the norwegian jazz scene. I envy you people from Oslo!

I'm not too keen on modern jazz, or styles of jazz like smooth jazz, but I love jazz like Nat King Cole, he's one of my all-time favorites. Love all his songs so much!
