Pedro's Corner (Part 1)

Listen man.

Nothing’s perfect.

Now I’m gonna go listen to those three albums one by one.

Hmm…

You just reminded me why I always stuck with Santana’s radio stuff.

He’s, like fusion, he’s not as good as he thinks.

At, you know, melodic discovery.

One often wonders, was anyone after 50’s jazz?

And just because I feel like it:

Ok fuck it, you either get a kareoke version with no vocals, or the concert version. Youtube is not all-powerful, it sadly still seems to be the case. Let’s go with the live version thieeeen.

Lol… things getting that bad, huh?

Damn! I guess they are:

Ancient Andes glaciers have lost half their ice in just 40 years …
10 Oct 2016 - Ancient Andes glaciers have lost half their ice in just 40 years. The snowcapped skyline of the Andes is beating a hasty retreat. Since the mid-1970s, the area covered by glaciers in Peru’s Cordillera de Vilcanota range has nearly halved, with most losses occurring below 5000 metres.”

…the familiar environment of one’s youth, giving way to a new, now unfamiliar, landscape… I too miss foggy days, that envelope everything that isn’t inches away from your face out of existence. No more fog, what’s that about?

Ahahaha! I believed in Santa Claus for a very long while… it was my school friends who said: What, you still believe in Santa? and then I went home and told my mum the sad news that I had learnt. :laughing:

Lol

the course of the evolution of jazz was a logical one. which is to say, what they were doing in the late 50s was necessary to advance the creativity of the genre to avoid becoming static and/or leaving it entirely. so jazz had to birth the subculture of fusion in order to avoid repeating all the figures and formulas of the contemporary shit; swing, ragtime, big band, bebop, etc. plus the electric guitar really became the new leading instrument in popular music during the 50s, and as such jazz had to sorta accommodate the capabilities of the guitar and so expanded its horizons as a result. but no, there’s no substantial ‘loss of melody’ after the 50s. i dunno what the hell that comment’s about because it sure as shucks ain’t about jazz. jazz was logically destined to become bolder and more experimental so it quickly evolved out of its conservative roots.

Nonsense.

Miles Davis betrayed us all.

But he had the divine right to.

Divine right, indzzeed.

But his divine apostle showed us that it was not unavoidable.

Doesn’t fusion seem like a silly make up for soullessness now?

Holy fuck.

If it doesn’t conjure a dark cigar smoke-pervaded room,

it’s not jazz.

It just ain’t.

Holy fuck.

you want to be able to tap your feet, and i understand that. but don’t blame the music when your feet are not light and lofty enough.

Shut up for a sec.

Holy shit.

It makes me want to want to cry.

i got sumthin that’ll make you wanna cry right here…

Yo what the fuck is fusion bro. I associate it with elevator music. This, what you posted, is music.
Cigars yes.

I don’t have em and I don’t have a smoky room but there is a bottle of nice scotch close by. Hold on.

God damn it. Thats the word.

it’s a special language, and learning how to speak it is difficult. we’ll start slow with
