A glimpse of the magnificent singer in his brief passage by Rio towards the Festival de Jazz de Ouro Preto, another Brazilian city, singing at a club with his fine trio. Superb!

Hi all, as I see you do not mind much about quality, for my cam is a sucker in terms of image, I will see if I've got some more by Kurt, ok? Its a promise, but u are warned since now, lol!

@cammicty It doesn't matter where or for how long you have studied improvisation - your opinion is still only your opinion. It doesn't happen to coincide with mine, but that's life!

[cammicty]

The Group After 7, now they improvise and interpret jazz music, and they are amazing.

[cammicty]

cont, this guy is okay, but flat and somewhat off key. I could go on and on listing jazz great who have the ability to interpret a jazz song ( or Improvise) and it's amazing, leaves you breathless. He falls short!

1st you know nothing about me, and let's talk about Improvisation, in jazz music a topic I've studied in school for some years. Improvisation is the art of improvising, musically speaking, talking, reacting, creating, this is something only black people did as they started this form of singing in the first place, and of course as in everything, Caucasians copied, some do not do it so well, and others are amazing, Perry Como, Micheal Franks, but Al Jarreau, for 1; has them all beat, cont,

let's Praise!

and why would al jarreau be a sort of a reference for the supposedly ''correct way of doing/singing'' it?

its just about new and subjective stuff... there are no official patterns at all!

you're just used to a way of doing it, there are infinite....

[questchema]

who are you know to point out supposedly the only unique key to sing something?

you didnt got the whole point of improvisation...?

lol

[cammicty]

Sorry sweetie, he's off key, dragging his notes, listen to some of the greats sing April in Paris. But then are some who can't here the tunes correct. He's know Al Jarreau!
