i'd go for oscar peterson. he's my guy on the piano. i'm pretty sure he's better than enriquez and monk. oscar peterson playing and lady day singing is an excellent combination.

right, so you were born in 1898. Got it.

You have to be a moron to say Bobby Enriquez plays better than Monk. Or that American Jazz artists are over rated. That's ridiculous. American's invented Jazz.

This xpressivist guy is something else. I'm pretty sure the artist of the time new about him if it's so. chill out dog on the definitive comments.

It's not a contest about who's better. Each man has a unique musical voice.

enriquez didn't write many musical works. its in the way they play on the piano. i think its very obvious that enriquez is more confident and relaxed on the piano than monk. therefore, enriquez plays better than monk. its a claim about the ability to entertain and impress an audience. jazz is a form of entertainment. its not a science. i cannot be right or wrong about that claim. its a minimal claim. that is only what i claim. nothing more or less.

i have been listening to jazz since i was a kid. i love jazz and some other american cultural influences then and now. my country, the philippines, has a century of illicit love affair with american culture since we were bought from spain by america for 20 million dollars at the treaty of paris in 1898. hence, filipinos can appreciate jazz more than other asians, and probably more than any other europeans.

What do you mean?

How can you say that the guys who actually created Jazz are lacking in their jazz ability? It makes no sense. Chuck Berry helped form RockRoll; so on principle it's not an argument to say that, oh I don't know, that Hendrix is better than Chuck Berry. Berry can't be touched; he created the thing.

Interesting perspective. Perhaps you could post some links to his music. |
