Rating The Jazz Piece Above Me

[Mat]

I can rate it only as high as 8.5. Nothing wrong about it, just didn't blow my mind.

Here's some Sanborn:

Hi Mat,
I started playing your track and after a while - it hit me.
This is my sort of music - 10/10.

I had a session yesterday playing my Dutch swing College Cds.and really enjoyed it.

Would someone please like to rate my Dutch Swing Band track to keep the thread flowing

 

[teddy]

Great piece John but only an 8.5. Maybe it caught me in the wrong mood as it certainly swings along.
Now, where was that piece I was going to post............................................

Cab Calloway. I'd forgotten about him. Quite a performer

Cab is not really for me,6/10 (but why doesn't somebody else give their view?)

Ted, it can not be any less than 10/10! Perfect in every way. Thanks for sharing.

My great pleasure Mat.

ted, - Thanks for Bill and Toots - I rate it 9/10 (great sound).
Mat, - I was fascinated by your track -excellent clarinet. (10/10 since it has stirred so many emotions for me).
Once again I find that I am missing out on so much wonderful Polish (and I have no doubt other European jazz).
I got into Italian jazz for a short time and bought some Cds - it was great but where and how do you bring it
under control?
Is there some method by which we can sample such music?. It needs someone with knowledge of the overall scene
and probably a dedicated thread.
Any ideas anyone?

Hey John,

Glad you liked the track - I aim to please. It wasn't a clarinet he was playing though, but a soprano sax.
Also, I went to Miśkiewicz's concert a couple months ago. Very enjoyable. He was playing the alto back then.

 

[teddy]

Sophrano sax .Mmmmmmmmmmm. Has to be a 10.0 Mat

John, we had a thread featuring jazz from around the world. Maybe we could re open it.

Sorry about that you lot, but rate this one.It also sounds a bit Saxey to me.

Hi Mat'
One I found by Henryk Miskiewicz.

Would you like to rate it?

 

[Mat]

Sure, John. I honestly didn't care for that guitar solo at the beginning (preferred what was played by the bass, later). The lack of piano or a related keyboard instrument was a serious drawback for me, at least in this particular case. I liked the overall climate of the piece and Miśkiewicz's playing as well, though it would've been better if he was playing the soprano . I rate @ 8/10, 8.5 at best.

What do you think of it?

 

[OLDUDE]

Well I sort-of liked it although it is not quite within my usual
listening pattern. (I would probably rate it at 7.5).
You are now going to ask what that is (usual pattern).
Like this perhaps http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xeojFespmgc
but a lot of other stuff as per my dBase.
