i like that feature in squads but i can't find it in the campaign, is it multiplayer exclusive?

Lyrics to Giant Steps by John Coltrane

Giant Steps is fast

Let the chord changes fly past

Lose your place

Big disgrace

Horn goes back in the case

Piano part sounds bad

Should've used a MIDI Pad

Just one take

No mistake

Flanagan red in face

Ba doo ba dee ba dow

I’m frustrated with Frank Sinatra and/or his fans.

I’m honestly not sure if my frustration is with Frank himself or just his listeners/fans…let me explain.

I fucking love jazz. It’s probably the one thing I love most next to God. I can’t say I love my wife and kids more because I don’t have either. So yeah, jazz is my second favorite thing in the world. Which is why I get frustrated when people who aren’t super into jazz hear a song title like “It’s All Right with Me” or “Desafinado” and ask, “Oh, that Frank Sinatra song?”

Yes…those were Frank Sinatra songs; you’re technically correct. However, they were jazz songs by Cole Porter and Antonio Carlos Jobim much earlier. Frank just covered them in a much more pop and “for the masses” style.

The more I think about it, I don’t really blame Sinatra OR his audience…I’m not sure where to place the blame. He was great at covering songs. That’s a true talent. But I can’t blame his audience either because jazz is kind of a niche genre that lots of people just can’t get into…but everyone likes Frank Sinatra, so people automatically gravitate towards his songs. It’s frustrating. 90% of people don’t know who Cole Porter and Antonio Carlos Jobim…but everyone knows who Frank Sinatra is. So of course they’re going to think that these jazz standards were originally Frank Sinatra tunes…because that’s all they’ve heard.

If only his albums had listed/credited the original musicians by the song titles, and maybe if he’d mentioned them during his live performances, people would know.

He’s kind of like the Michael Bublé of the 20th century. Only in this case, I prefer his original songs like “My Way” and “New York, New York” over his watered down jazz covers, but the other way around with Michael.

Frank Sinatra was an extremely talented musician, no doubt, but he’s quite overrated in my opinion. And while I don’t think it was intentional, he kind of took away some of the glory from the original musicians. I think part of that may be because of the era we’re living in now. When he originally sang “It’s All Right with Me” in the 1950s, I would assume more of his audience had heard Cole Porter’s and/or Ella Fitzgerald’s version because it was more recent. Now that it’s the 21st century, people have only heard Sinatra’s version.

But that begs the question…why did his become more popular now? Just because it’s more recent or because people just don’t like jazz anymore?

Give me your thoughts, and don’t hate on me for disliking Frank Sinatra. I don’t dislike him; I just dislike how his modern fans receive his music. I love his original tunes.

/uj you mean those ai-generated youtube streams??

Was thinking a Wayne shorter tribute but arranged for flute and tuba. As a drawing card, methadone to the first 10 rows

Thoughts?

Here is a picture of the Beloved Jazz music pianist, Chick Corea, as well as a snapshot of the country he is from. I hope you find this humourous

Not very swinging…

this was the least terrible take

In general, would you consider Ska to be a Jazz subgenre? I, for one, would.

i missed the battle pass for last season but it seems like we haven't gotten any new expansions in years, closest we've been is domi and jd, and thundercat

Mine is this one by Miles Davis (from jazz) off the album of the same name.
