With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Always had a soft spot for Steely Dan, from the minute I heard the guitar solo on Reelin in the Years and the Horace Silver inspired Rickie Don't Lose That Number. I did get to see them once on one of their last concert tours-it was pretty disappointing, have to say (but that's what you get for waiting to see artists until way past their prime).

Yeah - some Jazzbos I think resent Dan as ripping off Jazz - while others like actual Jazz being referenced - & that level of technical Musicianship.

Marco, i thought it was absurd when it was said; and impossible, unless the person is a pliable ball of putty with no faculty of judgement!
but that statement's been shown to be an untruth -whether known to be at the time or not.
i personally do dislike quite a lot of what i hear on wfmu and i expect no one will ever like everything i like.
i'm sure i've never had a girlfriend who liked more than maybe 70% of what i liked!

You just have to listen to some pre-Satch singers from the 20s to hear what a revolution in rhythm he inspired.

Angus Young of AC/DC says he knows it ! For example.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:32pm
doctorjazz:

Not only the rhythm, but the idea that you could bee a pop singer with a gravel voice like his (Blues singers did this, like Charlie Patton, but whites audiences didn't hear them for the most part). He is supposed to have left The Fletcher Henderson Orchestra because Henderson wouldn't allow him to sing. Satch had the last laugh...

Everything that's been said probly 100 years. The power - the technique - the expression - the ideas ! He changed what people thot was possible on the Trumpet - & for all Music. From where I sit - tempted to compare him to Hendrix or Bird these ways - but @ this level comparisons won't do.

The Ella and Loius albums are another high point in American music (to my ears), and, as I've mentioned before, were a safe space my musical theater loving new wife and I could meet when driving or otherwise stuck with the other's musical taste (she's since learned how to take cover).

Yes, big plus for the Armstrong and Fitzgerald recordings. Instrumentally, for post WWII, the recordings with Teagarden. But everything Satchmo touched has something extra in it. ❤❤❤
