Home Jazz Alley

From Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker to the new greats of today, this is the place for Jazz!

RE: Jeez. I never wanna hear KOB again.

Well, I am not attempting to insult anyone either. I am not disputing that "Miles not only influenced the harmonic direction of jazz he also influenced virtually all pop idioms." My point is that it is entirely irrelevant to my enjoyment of the music on KoB. I have heard it hundreds of times. I am tired of it. I don't need to hear it again.

I remember a concert I attended about 1969 by some blues legend whose name I have forgotten (maybe Howlin' Wolf). His music was politely received by the audience for most of the concert. Then the bass player started to play the riff from 'All Blues'. The crowd had no idea where the music originated, but they loved it. They were stomping and clapping along. The band was pleased to get a positive reaction finally and just riffed on 'All Blues' for the rest of the set. So, I certainly don't deny the accessibility of the music from KoB, I personally have moved on in the last 50 years.
