boom-chicka-chicka boom-chicka-chicka ye-a-ah... heheh Dig it man! The idea of these guys having a wordless conversation in nothing but musical creativity really hits home. It is like a language I do not speak but I am beginning to understand bits and pieces of it. Great post appro!

Maybe Jazz should be offered as a high school language alternative to Latin or French. Great idea, and I can guarantee that my son would have loved to have had that option over the past 3 years. I agree with sman - your "wordless conversation" phrase pretty much sums up jazz at its finest. My gateway introduction to that concept came about 30 years ago when I first heard Jim Hall's "Concierto de Aranjuez". I've probably listened to it over a thousand times now, and I've never gotten tired of it. The conversation between Chet Baker and Paul Desmond, as well as the other four great instrumentalists, IMO, makes it a recording that comes as close to perfection as anything I've ever listened to. amazon.com And for another style jazz, have you ever seen the movie Kansas City? The movie is pretty weak, but there are some terrific jazz scenes, especially the recreated cutting session between Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins.
