[Dixielandjazz] Dado Moroni and Rosario Giuliani

Come on guys. Ease up. Marek is right about his right to like what he enjoys. Some of the comments pointed at Marek have been a little rude, especially comments about 
“Cleaning out your ears.” 

I too have been through the full range of jazz. At the age of 78 1/2, I’ve been listening to all forms of jazz since 1945 when I was 5 years old. While I love the original Brubeck Quartet and the Rob McConnell Boss Brass, most of the modern jazz leaves me cold. As a musician, I can appreciate the technical prowess and ideas of most of the modern players, but their music does not turn me on. It does not excite me such as the YBJB, Turk Murphy, original Dukes, Condon, WGJB, etc does. And I do despise the music of Ornet Colman. I almost think it is a giant put on. 

Let’s discuss our jazz likes and dislikes without the insults.

I don'[t understand how I allowed myself to be dragged again into this futile dispute.  

OK, I listen only to trad - "It ain't nobody's business if I do."  It is perfectly all right for you to listen to so-called "modern" jazz and enjoy it - again, "It ain't nobody's business if you do."  We still live in free countries, where everybody is entitled to an opinion.  Trying to foist your opinions on me smacks of bolshevism - I know, I lived in a country where the powers that be dictated to us what we should we should or should not like (jazz was on of the things we were not supposed to like).  Trying to make me a masochist does not stand to reason. There is only one reservation - listen to whatever you wish to your heart;s content, but NOT within hearing distance from my ears, to which it sounds offensive.  

Comments on one's being limited (isn't the politically correct expression "intellectually challenged?") makes very little sense, and is hardly convincing.
Cheers

  You must surely be bored listening to the same thing all the time without any stimulation. I suppose you learn it by rote, like a kid with nursery rhythms?

    Narrow minded?  Perhaps.  Who cares?
    there is only one pair of ears I trust - mine.  And they tell me that the so-called modern jazz is, with few exceptions, boring at best, or just noise.  Took me a long time to separate wheat from chaff - there is no way I'm going back!

      That's narrow-minded, Marek. If you ut your prejudices aside, I'm sure that these two guys will be able to play excellent interpretations of Duke's music. They'll know their audience, and have the technical abilities to adapt so that they'll remid you of Johnny Hodges and the others! You might miss out on something and regret it.

        Thank you, Steve.
        I did " clear between  my ears out" long ago, stopped listening to modern mayhemand moved to jazz instead.
        The saxophonists background does not bode well - no OKOM thereat all.  You have saved me money.
        Take care,

          Here's some info.

          Edgardo "Dado" Moroni (born October 20, 1962) is an Italian jazz pianist and composer.

          A self-taught musician, Dado, who was born in Genoa, Italy, started playing piano at age four. By his mid-teens he was playing professionally around Italy and by age 17 had recorded his first album.

          Throughout the 1980s Dado worked mostly in Europe playing at festivals and in clubs, including a long stint as part of former Duke Ellington bassist Jimmy Woode's trio at Widder Bar in Zurich. Dado moved to the U.S. in 1991, becoming part of the New York jazz scene, and appearing regularly both as a leader and sideman, in some of the city's most prestigious clubs, including Blue Note, Birdland, Village Vanguard as well as recording several CDs.

          During his 35-year career Dado has played with legends including Freddie Hubbard, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, Harry "Sweets" Edison, Ray Brown, Ron Carter, Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, Hank Jones, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Alvin Queen. A highly respected musician, at age 25 he was granted the honor of serving as a juror at the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition in 1987.[1]

          Based in Italy, Dado continues to perform worldwide. In 2007 he won the Italian Jazz Awards as Best Jazz Act. In 2009 Dado was named Best Italian Jazz Pianist in the Top Jazz referendum sponsored by Musica Jazz magazine.[2] In 2010 he was appointed Professor of Jazz Piano at Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Music in Turin, a position he currently holds.

          Dado is married to Ada Tour.

          As for Rosario, 

          He began studying the alto saxophone in the "Città di Terracina" band and he graduated in 1987 from the Licinio Refice Conservatory in Frosinone. In 1989 he participated in the Berklee College of Music courses organized as part of the Umbria Jazz festival. In 1990 he was inserted by Rai in the orchestra of "Young talents of European jazz" organized for a concert held in Rome, at the Auditorium del Foro Italico, under the direction of James Newton. In the following years he collaborated in the recording of film soundtracks with internationally renowned masters such as Ennio Morricone, Luis Bacalov, Armando Trovajoli, Nicola Piovani, Riz Ortolani.

          In 1996 he won the "Massimo Urbani" award, while the following year he won the "Europe Jazz Contest" award, awarded in Belgium as the best soloist and best group. In 2000 he won the Top Jazz in the new talent category, for the annual referendum of the specialized magazine "Musica Jazz".

          In 2005 he participated in the "Land of the sun" project with Charlie Haden and Gonzalo Rubalcaba.

          In 2006 he leaves for a tour that touches the most important cities of the People's Republic of China.

          His collaborations are innumerable. Among others we remember those with Kenny Wheeler, Randy Brecker, Bob Mintzer, Cedar Walton, Phil Woods, Cameron Brown, Joe Locke, Donald Harrison and in Italy with Enrico Rava, Maurizio Giammarco, Tullio de Piscopo, Franco D'Andrea, Giovanni Tommaso , Enrico Pieranunzi, Dado Moroni, Javier Girotto and Flavio Boltro.

          He has played in several international festivals, including the following: Alatri Jazz (Italy), Jazz & Image, Tuscia in Jazz, Jazz in Liège, Gexto Jazz Festival (Spain), Zagreb Jazz Festival, Umbria Jazz, Bergamo Jazz Festival, JVC Jazz Festival (Paris), Town Hall 2001 (New York), Nancy Jazz Pulsation (France), North Sea Jazz Festival (Netherlands), London Jazz Festival (Great Britain), California, Mexico, Hong Kong, Marciac Jazz Festival (France) , Ankara Jazz Festival, Smoke jazz Club (New York), Jazz in Vienne (France).

          In September 2000 Giuliani signed a recording contract with the French label "Dreyfus Jazz" with which he recorded his last 4 records, namely: "Luggage", released in April 2001, "Mr. Dodo", published in October 2002, "More Than Ever", released in October 2004, and "Anything Else", of January 2007.

          On March 22, 2010, "Lennie's pennies" was released for the "Dreyfus Jazz" label, which featured him with Joe La Barbera on drums, Pierre de Bethmann on piano and Darryl Hall on double bass.

          His latest work is "Images" released in 2013 for the Dreyfus / BMG label.

          His sound and technique are influenced by artists such as John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and Art Pepper, although the saxophonist, inspired by these great masters, has been able to develop a very personal style, and an absolutely timbre. new. The great Italian composer Gianni Ferrio called him the "millenote boy", writing the liner notes of Rosario Giuliani's "Tension" album, recorded in 1998 for Schema Records, all dedicated to compositions for the cinema of the maestro and others musicians, reproposed in a jazz key.

            Does any of you know the pianist Moroni and the saxophonist Giuliani?  They are scheduled to play an Ellington programme in February as part of our "Hot Jazz" series.
            Right now I'm listening to them playing "Lennie's Pennies," and it seems that, while the pianist sounds fine, the saxophonist is far from an OKOM'er.
            Cheers
