Morning.

thoiboi

Man, Cuban music had tons of jazz influence it was fantastic../bossa nova-esque

Makes me miss the old school Buble stuff

Majofo

You're our fucking Carlton Banks.. did you just fucking post Buble?!?
I'll cut your balls off ladiboi.. I swear.

Majofo

Somebody chop ladiboi's face on Carlton Banks.. Somebody.

Yumcha

thoiboi: Eliane Elias FTW on that sort of jazz.

Yumcha

Also really like Stacey Kent.

Yumcha

Meh...Buble is 3471473140314X better than the hiphop crap.

thoiboi gets a star in my books.

Majofo

That Tanner Fox fucker who has a new GT-R and is like 12 is piping this?!?!?

World doesn't make sense mang.. I'm going to rob that fool and steal his chick. :thief:

thoiboi

searching Eliane Elias and Stacey Kent now ) thanks Yummy

Yumcha

Hip hop: oscillating on one note/chord and calling that music.

thoiboi

Sweet, found Stacey's whole album here:

Yumcha

And when in doubt, Miles Davis and John Coltrane.

The Steve Kuhn Trio is awesomeness too.

thoiboi

nom..


Starting with Girl from Ipanema.... sweet

Yumcha

I did not spend 2/3rds of my youth on a piano and getting beaten for not practicing and winning enough at competitions to not spew my 2 cents on the state of music.


Jazz and Classical...the two pillars of music are not getting enough recognition in today's "show-your-boobs and dance-like-an-idiot to 1-chord and calling it music".

Yumcha

I saw her live and I'll say this: Her piano skills match her grace and beauty.

Diana Krall is more main-stream but her keyboarding skills are meh compared to Eliane Elias...

thoiboi

I miss playing Jazz so badly.. I need to go find some local jazz group and start again. in modern contemporary music , i'll settle for funk because of their crazy bass licks (a la Bruno Mars)

Can't forget her


Thanks for the recs Yum!

Majofo

chocolate star



Yet Elias and Kent sell sex on their albums.. good one Yummy.

Yumcha

NP!


And if anyone razzes you for listening to jazz, let me know and I'll slap that nimrod around with a few of my robots. A nice diecasty Mazinger Z across the forehead to any such barbarian will set them straight, IMO.

Majofo

Me too..

Yumcha

So does Yuja Wang for Classical. Except, here's the rub...they don't play 1-chorded junk.


And their technique and skill would be perfectly fine alone...they could all look like Trump's @$$ flap and I'd still pay to listen to them. However, they know that the world is stupid and shallow and so, they have to cater to some of the oafs who need the "sex".

Yumcha

I'd let Martha Argerich molest me if I could have a few piano lessons with her.

thoiboi

Yuja Wang..

Yumcha

Maj: FWIW, I'm a bit like a watch snob for music. Just bear with me. I have a general disdain for what's on radio and mainstream these days but, music is music. Just like food.

Listen to what you like. But, if you are going to give thoiboi a hard time for Buble, get ready to hear my rhetoric. And IMO, I can back it up because I can out-play most people on this side of the hemisphere.

Yumcha

I'll stop at my mentor cuz that just reveals a bit TOO much about me on here...but, I'll say this: My piano mentor's education was at Eastman School of Music under Cecile Genhart. Genhart, an amazing musician and scholar in her own right, studied under Ferruccio Busoni, the great pianist and composer at the turn of the 20th century...Busoni studied with Carl Reinecke, who is also a great pianist and composer. Reinecke studied from Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, and Franz Liszt...I could end there, but if we keep going further, Liszt received training from Carl Czerny who learned from Mr. Ludwig van Beethoven.

How many can say their piano lineage comes from that? Yeah, I didn't think so. I whipped gwai-lo kids for enjoyment as a kid on the piano...

thoiboi

So, i take it she was good at hot cross buns and chop sticks and heart and soul?

Majofo

I give ladiboi a hard time for everything
You must be new here..

Majofo

He likes hard things

Majofo

I hear srika is actually an amazing musician.. this side of the hemisphere and all.

thoiboi

yeah.. for what it's worth, i didn't take too much offense to it. I like his ribbing

I appreciate that it gave me a bunch of new recommendation for music though, thanks H!

also learned a little more about the illustrious yumster

thoiboi

he prefers the term artist

cu2wagon

Micheal Bubble never sang "He'll fuck-start your burp hole, jet in burgundy pleather, Whoa" though... So, edge to modern hip-hop/rap.

cu2wagon

I don't care what anyone says... That's lyrical genius.
