  • a proud man indeed!

  • @bryant49 I concur !!!!

  • He's great. What he says about today's young black people having nothing in common with jazz reminds that today's Christian Greeks having nothing in common with the ancient 'Pagan' Greeks. Its just part of their heritage but aren't interested their great heritage either. And just like there used to be a 'river' of Greek philosophers - one after the other not too long ago there used to be an overflowing river of great black jazz musicians -geniuses that has evidently dried up too.

  • "I don't give a shit."

  • MR. Chico Hamilton, One of the best drummers in the world.

    2 albums you need to have a must for drummers Ellington suite.&Pacific jazz 1220.

  • I am an old fart. Heard "Chico Hamilton Quintet with Eric Dolphy" album this evening for the first time. Oh my. Perfect compositions, perfect playing. Thoughtful, Expert, Serene.

  • @bryant49

    Excuses for your ignorance still makes you ignorant. Wikipedia is your friend. I was in the same boat, but it was a college class that turned me on to 'jazz'. It's not for everyone, but there's something for everyone in jazz.

  • im sure jazz is excellent music but it is not our fault "todays youth" for not knowin who these guys are these guys aint on mtv and bet and vh1 shit we grew up to the cash money millionaires and dmx and def jam ya dig dont get mad at us get mad at viacom lmfao

  • Excellent! Chico's also actor, Bernie Hamilton's brother. Chico appears in the classic film, THE SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS.

    Great work, Reelblack.

  • Great music and stories for days. Thanks Chico & ReelBlack!
