Marblehead Posted September 17, 2018 I finally got done with the Celtic music collection. I am presently listening to the play list on my media player. It's better to just listen than it is to do all the editing, converting and file work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back in the day of cassette tapes, I would grab a bottle of my favorite beverage spread out all the vinyl on the floor and spend 3-4 hours recording my playlist on cassette. Lotta fun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I remember doing the same thing. I still have many of the cassettes from those days. Couldn't fine it in my heart to throw them away. But then, I still have my cassette player so I could play any of them any time I wanted to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted September 21, 2018 Dixieland Jazz is the only Jazz style I enjoy listening to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted September 21, 2018 RE: Dukes of Dixieland If you check I'm sure you will see many similarities between Dixieland Jazz and Jewish Klezmer music. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted September 21, 2018 Yes, I always liked The Hollies. They did some great music. I just looked and according to Wiki the Group is still together and performing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldDog Posted September 21, 2018 Re: Skyliners Reminded me of Manhattan Transfer because it seemed a little jazzy over doo wop. MT while decidedly jazz vocal did reach into doo wop at least once. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redcairo Posted September 21, 2018 The Hollies are great. 'The Air That I Breathe' is one of my faves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sang mostly jazzed up pop standards. Outstanding jazz vocals. Fun stuff. Joe Bob says check em out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll check them out later. But as you stated, they are a Jazz group and as I have already stated, I am not a person who appreciates Jazz so my expectations are rather low.

Marblehead Posted September 22, 2018 Yes. I know that group, I know the song, and I've seen the Witch Queen of New Orleans. Never got to touch her though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
