Mykesbass Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Well, the slightly more serious threads are getting ignored so I thought I'd enter into the spirit. Quote
mep Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Trad - No way. Be Bop (a Lula) - Don't say maybe! Quote
JapanAxe Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Swing and be-bop. I may have a gig in January playing trad and swing, but thankfully it will not involve boaters and stripey blazers. Quote
Urban Bassman Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1450961382' post='2937390'] Be bop delux ? [/quote] Beat me to it.. Quite partial a spot of Be Bop Delux myself. Quote
chris_b Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Trad? Never! Just conjures up images of cardigans, Brylcreem and Hush Puppies. Dixieland, with the likes of Kid Ory and King Oliver, every time. Quote
ambient Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I played a few trad jazz gigs a couple of years ago. They were actually quite good fun. Quote
TrevorR Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Flick it, twist it, pull it, bop it... Quote
TrevorR Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 Actually, for me 20s/30s swing and 50s/60s cool... Quote
Bobthedog Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Having just listened to Bobby Hacket and Jack Teagarden's Coast Concert album, it has to be trad. Sublime Edited December 24, 2015 by Bobthedog Quote

[/quote] I kind of thought that Trad was Dixieland, or at least the English take on it ? Either is fine by me. I'll happily play 'When the saints go marching in', over 'Summer of 69' or 'Sex on fire' . Edited December 25, 2015 by ambient Quote
steve-bbb Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Trad is fine for about 20 minutes on a friday on a full moon at the north pole ... in a sealed soundproof room did i say minutes? i meant milliseconds Quote

You bloody softy lefty, being way too understanding and treehuggingly tolerant! 15 milliseconds! Bop anytime for me, yes. Trad gives me the wish to die on the spot. Quote
drTStingray Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Both. Though I favour be bop. Trad reminds me of Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen - the bassist went over to a Gibson Grabber bass (fretless) in those heady days of mid 70s fusion - though they continued to play trad stuff IIRC! Quote
Guest bassman7755 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 [quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1450974162' post='2937569'] Blitzkrieg Bop for sure [/quote] I wonder how many permutations there would be of jazz and metal sub-genre's. Quote
