Please, tell us what you think is good-ass, damngringo! Liberache?

Or are a yellow-belly?

[pjustusxi]

Unless you were being facetious, "bad-ass" is a compliment.

[alform]

Most of us are foreigners here and bad-ass really doesnt sounds like a compliment for many of us. Will test it before I accept.

Bad-ass

[thomasrehling]

If you expect something from music, you don't have a open mind.

[KingCrimson776]

@alform It really is a compliment. In America the term "bad" when used in a certain context means "cool", and "bad-ass" is an extension of that.

uh . . . there's an advantage to dropping the term jazz. But you're not going to convince me that these musicians were not heavily influenced by the Jazz continuum. If you're suggesting that in the 60's the music became free whereas it was not free before, I have to disagree. I think it was always about freedom and was always rapidly evolving. I think it just took a long time to really move past bebop and Parker and once the musicians did, it was a huge explosion.

Funny, that´s exactly what jpeople used to say about Van Gogh and Picasso and Miró and Pollock and Rothko when they were struggling young artists....this was also the case with jazz musicians in the early 20th century...

(to sminty1)

[thomasloyens]

this is not even extremely free, so wait 'till you hear Peter Brötzmann or Evan Parker! THEN you can wonder if they're not all playing separately, which they aren't of course (could be in some cases) but still, you should try to appreciate more free jazz.. It' worth it!

This is not jazz dear friend. Its a genre that was created in the 60's and its called "free music". A lot of people dont understand it but it will make sense once you know its history. some artists that play "free music" are Henry grimes, william Parker and you can just look for more on "related videos". check those artists out on you tube and try look up the history of its formation on google.
