Ha. I may be the closest thing to the forum's resident jazz fan, but I can assure you that I don't have a goatee, hang out exclusively at 40's style clubs, and go around calling everyone "cat". But yeah, that sounds like jazz fusion to me. The thing about jazz fusion is that, like all genre labels, is just a reductive term that means a combination of jazz and rock. It says nothing about what proportions of each of the two genres should be included! This song is far more on the rock side, though, because of the prominent prog rock solo. But the rhythm is definitely something that you would find in jazz. I really should listen to more Zappa. I like the few songs I've heard from Freak Out and I absolutely love Trout Mask Replica (which he produced), and his quirky and sarcastic sense of humor I really enjoy, yet I haven't explored his discography all that much. Even though I know he made a jazz album in Hot Rats. Oh btw, if you have even the slightest inkling of interest in jazz fusion, you have to check out Bitches Brew. You won't understand it at first, but if you spend enough time with it, it will reveal itself to be one of the most innovative albums of all time and nothing short of a true masterpiece. It also happens to be the album that first turned me onto jazz. I've heard quite a lot, but I still feel like I need to listen to more Zappa I guess his enormous discography is one reason for that, but it may also have something to do with the fact that he's so indefinable. Unless you've heard absolutely everything, I think it's hard to feel like you're "done" with him. If you can listen to Trout Mask Replica, you'll have no problem with Zappa haha. But speaking of Hot Rats, have you heard Peaches Regalia? I've tried, but it didn't work at all. Tracks that overstay their visit by ten minutes, absolute chaos in a not so good way. I know it's probably hard(or close to impossible) to "get it" on the first listen, so I'll probably try again, but I don't know if my psyche is ready yet Ha, in that case I should check out more of Zappa's catalogue! I don't play Freak Out often because, like a lot of other 60's psych-rock albums, I can't play them when the sun isn't shining without a cloud in the sky. And it's winter, ya know, so that might have to wait till spring. But I'm listening to Hot Rats right now, and I'm amazed at how different it sounds from what I've heard from Freak Out! Plus, it sounds like legit jazz and I wouldn't have guessed it was Zappa unless someone told me. A lot of jazz as recorded by rock musicians ends up sounding like pastiche or worse, but this is done with the proper respect for the genre. Peaches en Regalia is a great song. In fact the whole album sounds great. Oh yeah, I forgot that most Oasis fans won't be used to listening to anything longer than All Around the World. But don't let the length of the tracks on Bitches Brew drive you away! Yes, they'll take up more of your time, and if you're a busy person you may not be able to find the time to squeeze in 20+ minutes of uninterrupted listening, but, trust me, it's worth it. I too had problems with the ridiculous track times of Bitches Brew when I first listened. What I did that finally made it click with me was that I just had it on in the background while I was doing work, and then the songs popped out at me even as I wasn't actively listening. Needless to say, the day I finally understood Bitches Brew was not a productive day.

mystoryisgory What do you think of Miles Davis work for the movie "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud" ? I quite like it, especially the "Générique":

Needless to say, the day I finally understood Bitches Brew was not a productive day. His versitality is probably what makes him so fascinating to me. Listening to an album of his can be very much "hit and miss" sometimes, but when it's good it's usually not only good, but very rewarding, because it feels like you know a little bit more about music than you did before. The fact that he can move between rock, jazz and classical music with such ease is only a testament to his musical genius. And he was such a compelling guy outside of the music as well. I think my "focused" way of listening is the wrong way to approach jazz in general, but especially in this case. I get too caught up in details, and if I feel like the track has no structure whatsoever, I get frustrated Especially since I know about Miles Davis's reputation and expect, almost demand to be blown away. But I promise to try again some time this year, and maybe a more "casual" approach will do the trick

I'm going to write a rant about brazilian television. Yes i am bored out of my ass right now.
What the fuck. I don't watch brazilian tv since i turned 7, because my mom got me a computer that year and i was too busy messing around in Paint to care if Camila shot Rogerio or she was pregnant with that old guy's baby or it was all a trap to get Thais to confess having murdered Camila's dad or some shit. Why do we have SO MANY SOAP OPERAS? we've got FOUR soaps per day, new episodes of all four of them, five if you count that stupid teen soap that airs after.. heh.. A RERUN OF YET ANOTHER SOAP, that's 6, and this is an edit, but i forgot to add: yes, this is only on one channel, the most viewed one. Someone bring a fucking exorcist this is not right.
There's a shitton of things that all these soaps have in common but the most common is romance and all, there's always fucking romance going on, even if you tune in and there's a cast of a bunch of senile Jimmy Saviles, you can bet on it, at least two of them are fucking the maid.
The only thing good about these soaps is generally the crazy character, the only one that you actually like because it's the only interesting character in the whole soap. A example (the only that i can remember) is Nazaré from "Senhora do Destino", that bitch is fucking nuts, kidnapped someone's daughter, pushed her daughter's (the one that was kidnapped) biological mother down the stairs, and she has the most maniac laugh i've ever seen.
The rant is not really complete, is just that i got bored writing it. That says a lot about my writing skills. If i got bored writing it, you'll get bored reading it.

Also "alka" is the nickname i use for everything, i just used suominen here at first because i thought, in a Oasis forum, someone would've already taken this one.
