    Re: Jazz Standards

    What never cease to amaze me is the fact that many of these great jazz cats were once heroin addicts - Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Charlie Parket, Elmo Hope, Mike Stern and Scofield to name a few - long before Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee checking in and out of rehab; yet they managed to elude that notorious 'sex, drugs and rock n roll' stereotype.

    Is it the ironed suits? Or the saxophone?

    Anyway, Frank Zappa wasn't jazz. His style was more visceral; he played whatever the f notes he felt like doing.

      Hmmm, agree to disagree on this one.

        I listened to this, this morning. Obviously I have heard the vocal version before. This is probably one of the more well known standards in the genre. Chet is a hell of a player, for sure.

          Right?
          Maybe because back then there weren’t as many outlets for this type of thing to be publicized?
          In the 80’s you had tons of magazines that could publish articles about this stuff. Besides radio, I’m not sure what they had in the 40’s to get this type of info out there....plus they were more conservative times.

            You mean there's also good jazz that the focus isn't melody? Or that you don't think that was melodic?!!

              I mean, not all good jazz is inherently extremely melodic.

                I agree. Although I prefer melodic stuff like Chet, or Grant Green, or Ellington, or Monk.

                  Much like Swedish Black Death Metal, and Powermetal, and NWOBHM, there are many many jazz sub genre's.

                  They are all different.

                  And much like jazz approaching free-form, Frank Zappa can also sound exactly like anyone would playing whatever notes they want. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes just crap.

                    Woke up and realized I never posted something so here it is.

                    It’s just with the phone and it is on top of the amp and it’s early to play but hey, I did it



                    I’ll try to do another one.

                      I figured I might as well post another one since I was at it. Still practicing but getting there
