Jazz Music for Night Owls

D'oh I wish I could quote your rating @Targa because I'd like to know just why that's so funny! Haha!

 

[Targa]

Chet - thinking woman's crumpet.
You like him as well - implication you're not one.
Only for his trumpet - thought you were agreeing.
Therefore you were funny.

Well it made sense to me.

oh, i spent a good solid half-hour listening to Chet yesterday before picking up my sax. Though i can't claim to know his work at any depth I do enjoy his stuff in this vein. I enjoy the pace of and spaces in the piece above.

Thanks. We play sax to make music, not to play sax...

Oh dear, thinking about what you wrote makes me assess the raison d'être for my own playing. Will juggle around with the thoughts in another place sometime. Thanks

No worries: I struggle daily with these thoughts...

Maybe I am not yet at a level where striking distinctions between the two occur to me, however it was the Fatback Band who asked, "Is This The Future", so ...

PS: Hopefully am still on topic 🙂. Really, there is a sax solo in the track.

I agree with Aldevis, but... We learn to play the sax because it's a good way of making music. So at first we concentrate on sax, then (hopefully) move to music.

There were nearly tears in post 281 🙂

I haven't heard the Miles Davis version of that classic @Jeanette, just the Chet Baker, which is very heartfelt. I'll listen to that now.
I was listening to this one before falling asleep last night as it followed on from the first one I posted.. I hadn't heard it for a long time and only knew the sung version.
