      Yeah, I heard this not knowing who was playing (it was in a playlist), and thought,"Huh. Sure sounds like Chet Baker.".... then the sax started playing and I thought "That's GOT to be Desmond", and halfway through, was thinking "but who's that kick-ass drummer??" I usually find this to be a boring tune but there isn't a dull moment here.

    "Las hojas muertas" (título original: "Les feuilles mortes") es una canción francesa de 1945 con letra de Jacques Prévert y música de Joseph Kosma. Fue popularizada por Yves Montand y la música del estribillo se convirtió en un standard jazz, con el título de "Autumn leaves" (Hojas de otoño). Gran parte del atractivo armónico para los músicos de jazz estriba en que las estrofas presentan una típica progresión siguiendo un ciclo de cuartas y el estribillo utiliza una escala húngara menor de manera fluida.
    "Las Hojas de Otoño"
    Las hojas que caen, vuelan por la ventana.
    Las hojas de otoño de rojo y oro.
    Veo tus labios, los besos de verano,
    las manos quemadas por el sol que yo solía tomar.
    Desde que te fuiste los días son largos.
    Y pronto escucharé la vieja canción de invierno...
    Pero tú eres lo que más extraño mi vida,
    cuando las hojas del otoño empiezan a caer.
    Desde que te fuiste los días son largos
    y pronto escucharé la vieja canción de invierno.
    Pero tú eres lo que más extraño mi vida,
    cuando las hojas del otoño empiezan a caer.

    Jazz, with its rich history and vibrant melodies, stands as a true testament to the beauty of human creativity. It is a genre that defies boundaries, fusing various musical influences and cultural expressions into a harmonious tapestry of sound. Jazz appreciation goes beyond mere enjoyment; it involves an immersion into a world of improvisation, syncopation, and emotional storytelling. The intricate interplay between instruments, the expressive solos, and the collective energy of a jazz ensemble create a captivating experience for both the musicians and the audience. From the smoky clubs of New Orleans to the grand stages of international jazz festivals, this art form has transcended time and geography, leaving an indelible mark on the cultural fabric of the world. Jazz appreciation invites us to explore the depths of human expression, to celebrate individuality within the collective, and to experience the pure joy of spontaneous musical creation. It is a genre that constantly evolves, embracing new influences and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Jazz appreciation is a lifelong journey, a never-ending quest to uncover new rhythms, discover hidden gems, and connect with the universal language of music.

      Jazz music is an absolute marvel that never fails to captivate me. The improvisation, the intricate melodies, and the soulful expression take me on a musical journey like no other. The sheer talent and virtuosity of jazz musicians astound me, as they effortlessly navigate complex rhythms and harmonies. Whether it's the joyful swing of an up-tempo tune or the poignant beauty of a slow ballad, jazz always manages to stir my emotions and transport me to another realm. Its timeless appeal and endless creativity continue to inspire and amaze me. Jazz music is a true treasure that deserves endless appreciation.

    I was fortunate to meet Chet Baker in Las Vegas at the Four Queens just before he passed. On his breaks he came to talk to our little table of four. We asked for an autograph but he adamantly refused. There was a total of about fifteen people in the audience. He swung the Four Queen’s hand down to the table that night. What a gentle soul, and a class musician. Great band too.

    Really interesting version. The feel is very dominated by Gadd, took me a while to relax into it. No one else would have played it like that. Swings in an unusual way. Carter drives it beautifully.

    DC Young's comments ring true. Really appreciated. Paul Desmond was one of a kind. If Debussy was born 100 years later and could blow, it might have been Paul. How lyrical and yet, such dry wit and humor. Much thanks.

    I have this album in my collection. It’s one of the greatest pieces of jazz music I’ve ever heard. The musicians are out of this world. When I get on the boat late at night, on the quiet waters of the Gulf, the music takes me to another dimension. It’s transformative.

    I'm so sick and tired of comparison. Miles was better...bla bla...Clifford Brown blew them both away...bla bla... Dizzy was better. Bla bla bla. Reminds me of today's "shredder ethic" You can measure technique but you cannot measure SOUL! Just immerse yourself in the lyricism of these two phenomenal musicians (not to mention the rhythm section that swings like a mofo) and LOVE IT for what it is...not for what it "could" be "if" someone else played it.

    I admire a lot of sax players, but for me, enjoyable listening - Paul Desmond, man! It is just a very relaxing style - sit back and have an adult beverage. I like a lot of aggressive players too but I find with Paul - even people that aren't big jazz fans can get into it. And that's not to say that he's playing Jazz for Beginners. It's his personality and humor that come through his instrument. Gone too soon. Reading stories about him and what he wrote himself - too bad he never finished that book. I really love his odd sense of humor. Cover of his Summertime album - all icicles! One of the original "characters" of jazz.

      His solo on "A Train" with Brubeck, which is on one of the Columbia collections, is an example of his beautiful melodic phrasing. Technically flawless, playful but also musically sophisticated--the guy was a master.

    got my introduction to "modern, progressive jazz" listening to Symphony Sid, a well known DJ in Boston in the late 40's and early 50's.the man knew everyone who was in the jazz scene. this set bring back great memories. I was about 10 years old listening to this music. Sid also had a gospel music program on just before he came on with the jazz program. learned to appreciate all kinds of music at a young age.

      Sergio Larios was my band and music teacher. He was an amazing person and we got to play in many places. He's really well acquainted with Ron Carter. So much so, that he calls him his dad and such, since he was his former student. I've met Ron Carter in person and I've even gotten to perform a happy birthday song for him.
      It's really great, meeting amazing musicians and performing with them.
