jazz vs. bluegrass

[Bert Notorius]

or gin vs. corn liquor.

at some point there must have been a fork in the road...

or asphalt vs. dirt.

it's all structure, camouflaged as free form...

or "cool" vs. "yee haw".

i'd like to see a combined jazz/bluegrass jamboree

or snubnose vs. squirrel rifle.

'Cocaine Habit Blues' THE MEMPHIS JUG BAND (1929) Memphis Blues Legend

Jazz and bluegrass are both great and very American. Jazz even moreso, as much of bluegrass and Appalachian has roots in Scottland, Ireland and the UK. The jazz on banjo link is cool, but to me it seems like certain instruments don't sound right changing genres. I love a good banjo player, or a good fiddle player, but I think both sound hookey playing jazz. Conversly I can't imaging saxophones or brass playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown.

Say hi to Ms. Ann for me...

even when played extremely well, the banjo sounds like it could fly apart at any minute. i suppose the sax could sound like someone about to stomp on a goose's neck at any minute. the fact that it doesn't is interesting to me.

Yes, nice intro


So who is really the juvenile here? You just want to cause drama in a thread where there shouldn't be any. Typical GB shit.
