The Political Party

[Red Ant]

Two of my most favorite pieces of music:

How anyone can fail to be moved by the incredible BEAUTY in those two pieces is simply beyond me. I've heard these thousands of times and still I find myself literally forgetting to breathe while anticipating the harmonic movement as the "story" unfolds.

I'd like to see that waiting room, and people's faces as Monk's bizarre, yet gorgeous voicings wash over them

There are two three kind of music listeners:

1. The poeple who have a natural understand for all music, and simply say to the composer and musicians: "Thank you, I enjoyed it very much"

2. The snobs.

3. The people who stereotype.

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

Yep and Miles' recording of Round Midnight is one of my favorite versions of that tune. 

Then there are more dentist office classics :

One of the best albums ever made,

Hoddy can't get past anything further than the Mickey Mouse Club theme song which they play round-the-clock on his Disney cruises.

We've been on one Disney Cruise...I don't recall ever hearing that tune or "It's a Small World".

Ever been on Disney Cruise, Fred? The only difference in them and other cruise lines is that there are no casinos on the Disney ships...I don't care about the casinos so it's not a big deal to me.

The ultimate Dentist office classic:

What's not to like about jazz?

Though I will say that I rarely listen to "starbucks jazz" anymore.  Sadly, that includes Kind of Blue, which is an amazing and seminal work, but I only need to hear it about once a year.  Attention classical music fans:  that goes for Vivaldi's Four Seasons as well. 

[Fred Fartboski]

Nothing wrong with "Four Seasons". It's just been overplayed to death.

That's why they have magazines on the tables...for relief from the mind-numbing boring music.

when i was with rhythm band, i manufactured for the restaurants at disneyworld several custom glocks where the arrangement of tone bars  played by the hostess sounded "when you wish upon a star" to call patrons to their tables.

they were of couse free whether to choose to play it straight or use a dotted eighth - sixteenth note swing "feel".

Jazz is the Teacher. Funk is the Preacher.

I tend to agree... with the exception of Blue & Green, which is just timelessly, breathtakingly beautiful, and Freddie Freeloader which STILL swings like a mofo! I don't think I can ever tire of Wynton Kelly's solo on Freddie.

Reminds me of a Modern Family episode where Gloria has gotten tickets to take the family to a performance of Four Seasons and Jay is all excited because he thinks they're going to see Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

I always leave copies of People magazine laying around in the library among the classics of Western literature to help out people such as yourself.

Actually, that would be 1 types, based on your list, but it tells better with 10.
