Aloha Intet,

I have the great luck mostly during the nights in Denmark often to have the opportunity, through the French music channel MEZZO to watch the Standards Trio live in concert.

You're lucky one, you know? I had this channel too, but apparently my TV provider thought it was no longer necessary:banghead:

Mat :tiphat::clap::clap::clap::clap:

Life is strange my dear friend. Thank you for the link to:

http://www.jeanlucfillon.com/ :up::up::up::up::trp::trp::trp::trp::clap::clap::clap::clap:

I pressed it, and by God I could listen to the first two songs and the last "Braseilera" through my new speakers with the subwoofer. The first song with the oboe was very beautiful, I pictured to myself it was you playing in stead of Fillon and the guy with this instrument looking like a tambourine, but bigger and more of a sort of drum using the fingers. They use it in old Irish folk music as well and in North African countries, probably in many more countries.

The other songs in between, the sound became muddy or like blur. I went to the thread in the MIMF about a missed mimfér "musicallis", and by God again I could listen to another kind of music a piece for organ composed by him, he even had a link for the music sheet, he seemed to have composed, just like that, druing his holidays.

Progress my friend, progress on the Danish front!!:clap::clap::clap::clap:

Now I just need to figure out a way to regain in to your links send to me by mail. But like they said: Rome wasn´t built in one day. Step by step. I have decide d to keep Peter here until, we´re all updated on the listening front. If not volunteraly then by manipulation - a great dinner in Aalborg. I know he can´t refuse. I learned it though lobbying, always know what different people love, but will not pay for themselves, like a great dinner.

The French spoken MEZZO channel, as you know, is basicly for classical music and Opera, but also they bring reports from far away countries with different kind of music and instruments, I´ve never seen, mustly with strings. Some times during the night, when my sleep won´t arrive I even watch with huge impression Daniel Barenboim teach upcoming concert pianists how they should play a certain piece or rather what and how the composer of the music meant it should be played. He has these sessions for younger musicians with a camera, obviously with two pianos beside each other.

Keith Jarrett and the Standards Trio, I watched three nights ago almost 50 minutes at 03 AM. What could possible be better at that time during the Danish night. That´s why I asked sir Corno Dolce, if he had got the DVD´s. The thing that is not good wioth this channel is, they talk in French, except when there is a live concert for instance from a jazz festival where american/english spoken musicians appear, then they talk in English the musicians. They also bring info on upcoming concerts in all styles of music throughout France.

Very nice jazz, with a lot of punch from each of the musicians obviously enjoying the interaction.

Thank you, sir Corno Dolce :tiphat: for the world wide radio link. Gee!, this site can give you info on radio jazz programs from three kontinents, including Europe - AWESOME sir.

The Danish Radio should have been given penalties years ago, there is no regular radio jazz program each day nor TV channel. Do you know if a TV channel for jazz exists in the USA on jazz alone?

 

[Corno Dolce]

Aloha Intet,

You're welcome. To be honest, I know of no Jazz TV station in America. If there is one it might be a *very local phenomenon*.

Cheers,

Well, sir Corno Dolce :tiphat:

I believe a mimfér once spoke of 150 or more different TV channels, he had access too in the US, but I guess that jazz is not that popular for TV in the US as well, so I guess I should feel lucky having access to the MEZZO channel.

There was a thread some time ago, about how the different countries serviced it´s viewers as to which programs they broadcasted, I did not enter then because I was not at home, but I am reminded now, that mostly 80 percent of everything you may find on any of 4 national Danish TV channels 24/7 will be US sitcoms. It began with the series SOAP years ago in the 1970´s and before that my favourite American films from the 1930-60´s in black and white. After SOAP we all watched The Huxtables, the 90210 Beverly Hills and Friends. That is younger people, Generelly, I don´t watch much TV nor listen to the radio, but I do love American movies from the mentioned period, all the old Spencer Tracy movies, Orson Welles, Kay Hepburn, Humprey Bogart, Lauren Bacall even at times Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly.

NHØP and Søs Fenger on the album "On Holiday", by Genlyd Grammofon 1992.

NHØP in his later days before the turn of the millenium, showed a new talent in finding singers from rock music, who he thought would do great in jazz music. So at one point, when he wanted to play some songs sung years ago by Lady Day - Billie Holiday, he asked Søs Fenger if she would sing on this album with only Billie Holiday songs.

NHØP did another album post this one with the Swedish Singer Lisa Nilsson.

The musicians:

Søs Fenger - vocals
NHØP - double bass, arrangements
Niels Lan Doky - piano
Palle Mikkelborg - trumpet and flugelhorn
Niels Medin - Hammond B3 organ
Noa Landgren - trombone
Mik Persson - vibraphone
Lennart Gruvstedt - drums
Ethan Weisgard - percussion

Aloha Intet,

That might be too simplistic of a reason - lack of interest in Jazz. Putting Jazz performances on TV costs money. Yes, we have NPR in the States and they sometimes broadcast a Jazz performance on TV. But it is very seldom they do so since NPR is mandated to be everything unto everybody. Yes, count yourself lucky to have access to MEZZO.

Cheers,

Well sir Corno Dolce :tiphat:

Jazz like classical music, Opera, Blues, R&B whatever, should be listened to Live or at least on a suiteable HiFi equipment on 300 Watts, unless you have a 2000 Dollars surround sound TV set IMHO.

I was never a great fan of TV sound in generel.

I totally agree with your assertion that it should be live or on good HIFI-equipment.

Right sir Corno Dolce :tiphat::clap:

If there is anything at all in this world men know more about (on an average level, per capita) than the female sex, it would be HiFi equipment, the horsepower of your car and hub caps. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

On topic:

This morning a group of acoustic guitarists playing music from the Spanish speaking Latin America, where percussion too, is as important as whether the local soccer team win or not. The name of the band is Gipsy Kings, perhaps not liable to be in a jazz thread, but limits and borders some times are to be broken, so I now appologize in advance.

"The Very Best Of Gipsy Kings", by Sony Music 2000.

20 songs on acoustic guitars, vocals and percussion. The Flamengo guitarist always having used the body of an acoustic guitar, playing percussion.

Number one song "Bambolero" and number 8 song "Bem, Bem Maria" have an intensive sensual rhytm.

Keith Jarrett and the Scandinavian Quartet on his double album, half improvised "Nude Ants", recorded Live at the Village Vanguard Jazz Club, N.Y.C. in May, 1979, released by the ECM Records 1980.

A very strange double album with a performance not usual for the quartet, much more in the free jazz department than most other KJ albums, I have. There does not seem to be a red thread between the songs.

First song "Chant Of The Soil" 17:12 minutes, KJ freaking out on timbales. The song "Oasis" 30:14 minutes - way to long, as if KJ had fallen asleep behind the keys of his beloved Bøsendorfer piano. But yet there are songs like "Innocence" - "Processional" and "New Dance" to compromise for the other somewhat boring pieces.

The musicians:

Keith Jarrett - piano, timbales, percussion
Jan Garbarek - soprano and tenor saxophone
Palle Danielsson - double bass
Jon Christensen - drums, percussion

I knew you would catch, what I meant - those light aluminum things .....

But wouldn´t you agree with me, you have never seen or heard of a woman discuss hubcaps in the auto shop or whether a HiFi equiptment has access for two or four speakers and how many Watts? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Btw. Thank you sir for the clear info on Bob James Trio 1996.

I don't know about what other women are saying in regards to hubcaps, horsepower, and HIFI wattage. My Lady is fully conversant in such things and we have a blast chatting about such things - we share so many common interests.

That´s why I wrote "women", but then you´re a lucky son of a.... Mom (lols), since the both of you Tango for Two a well, and I guess will be known in a couple of months among the "highway blues" in the redneck outback for speeding in those none poluting Tesla motors without ordinary hubcaps.
