Jim Hall & Pat Metheny Jim Hall & Pat Metheny

Well Conte, I don't know who mentioned it to you, but for me Hall is a gigantic six-string poet. Listen to him in the ensembles with the great Jimmy Giuffre, and maybe you'll understand how fundamental his guitar was for the Giuffre sound, especially in very small groups (trios, quartets) – and then let me know. Unlike you, I don't find the duo album with Carter particularly thrilling; it's nice, but in my humble opinion, Evans/Hall is better.

I went to look for it and it's this "Zucchero: Blue's written by Alien MC."

What the hell did I write? Anyway, it’s understandable.

Starblazer, I’m sorry to disappoint you, go listen to one by Zucchero if I’m not mistaken, one of those from the album "Blues," if I'm correct.

The film is interesting; I don't consider it a masterpiece (3.5 is a generous rating), but, as often happens in Eastern cinema, there's always something captivating. I really liked the review.

Ingmar Bergman Il settimo sigillo

Well, the film is not up for debate; you might have picked a non-mainstream movie, but out of all Bergman's (and they are splendid), this is the most famous. The review is nicely written but very formal; anyway, good job.

No, Pollo, I'm not from Milan (and I add, luckily, and without offense to anyone). Still, your idea of the big screen with "Gone with the Wind" is beautiful! :-D

I repeat that just because you know some bluesmen doesn’t mean you understand the blues. If you come to defend a little basement group like Nirvana, there are ways and ways to play 3 chords; otherwise, 99% of music would be beautiful, and unfortunately, it’s not like that... The ingredients for a song to succeed are far more than just 3 chords.

Sure, these are just a few and the most recent ones, but they are blues; that doesn't change the fact that Nirvana makes light music.

Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Rodgers And Hart Song Book

Count, I am not speaking of Fitzgerald's less successful or ugly commercial pieces, but even in the important pages like those of the songbooks (except for the one with and by Ellington), certain arrangements or parts of arrangements come off as a bit too flashy and a bit too polished, yet they remain beautiful pieces. Unlike Holiday, who I believe did not remain tied to a role as you say, but stayed true to herself; in certain respects, I actually connect her to Monk mentioned here for several reasons.
