this forum should learn to embrace rather than exclude
no one replies because they feel their objective foundation on this genre doesnt allow them to comfortably critique...but in all honesty..what does objectivity have to do with art in an expressive profile?...i think..it is HILARIOUS..how over prided some pianist are..and i'll say it..there are some on this forum...but when it comes down to it..they are simply compiled versions of textbooks, facts, statistics, and objective findings...which only congest their ability to open their mindi also..think it is funny...this trendy notion that seems to insinuate that musical taste is acquired..a taste for art in superiority is DEVELOPED..it is learned and earned...as much as i'll vouche for the authenticity and quality of experience and knowledge...this is not to be confused with egotistical fixations...fixations of the "right"..the "wrong"...when in reality...there is only..the "beautiful"..and the "ugly"...the beautiful being familiar and identifiable..and the "ugly" simply being a lack of understanding..a misinterpretation or sorts...or perhaps preferenced judgement....lets try and stop thinking lower of others..because of their diffences...and if thats not the caselets try to stop believing we arent entitled to expressive opinion without ignorant intervention..beacuse these opinionated manfestations are very much possible..and can also be appreciated under the right circumstances..these circumstances insinuate that we stop thinking of music as a hierarchy of sorts..but rather endulge in differences regardless of origin/objectivity/characteristics or melodic attributes...this is not the purpose of music...widening the perspective..objectivity in expression is somewhat of a paradox...lets try to embrace this idea..it helps...but silva..i think the gig is pretty sweet man..i dont know if its just the way you play..or your piano...but it sounds like the tone color of your piano really fits these blues and jazzy gigs you play..keep up the good work..hopefully one day nils will make a blues'n'jazz thread because piano is as prevalent in this genre as any other...and lets not take "well you can post about it in the forums provided" as an answer..because we all know that this genre is somewhat opressed (perhaps too strong of a word?) on this website...mainly beacuse of people's lack of education on it...it would be nice to isolate this genre and perhaps shed light on it...it will only help if anything...hope nils reads this..anyhoo now im just rambling..good show silva post more where you can-LuisA.K.A.
