Danno Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Very nice. It's always been one of my favorites, too. Hopefully, young son gained some appreciation for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my80malibu Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I listen to 50s&60s era music "Rock n Roll will never die". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 On the opposite end of that spectrum ; my dad (age 77) actually enjoys some of the music in my collection . He really likes John Cale 'Vintage Violence' (1970) , Television 'Marquee Moon' (1977) , Love ,'Forever Changes' (1967) , and Velvet Underground 'Velvet Underground' (1969) ! Your son will hopefully develop an appreiation for Dave Brubeck , etc. That kind of music takes real talent to compose , create , and perform , unlike Beiber , and his ilk .

Lunajammer Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 But that's how we all entered music appreciation... getting turned on by the repetition of whatever the pop radio was playing. The more we listen, the more we learn and the more selective we become until you can't help expand your horizon into otherwise unknown territory, like Dave Brubeck or jazz in general. The fact that your son even questions it means he's noticing and beginning to sort out his own thoughts about music choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 My dad like older country music and when I was older and he listened to it he would tell me things about the artist. it never bothered me to much it made him happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 My dad's a huge Brubeck fan. I first heard Take Five when I was 12, and loved it ever since. Then again, I was thoroughly immersed in classical and big-band, the Great American Song Book, blues, tin-pan alley and ragtime. And Middle Eastern music. Much to the dismay of my friends, I actually almost never listened to what was then contemporary music. Oh, wait...still don't, really, save for country and the occasional pop or rock song that comes along that I really like. Start your step-son off with more Brubeck. Find a copy of "Dave Digs Disney"- GREAT album, and one he'll probably enjoy. Another very good record, but rare, is Summit Sessions. It showcases a wide variety of jazz/jazz-influenced music from musicians around the world, also a Brubeck Album. Also, find some Louis Armstong (almost every kid likes Louie,) some big band (Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman are good picks for kids, along with Woody Herman and Buddy Rich.) If your town or a nearby city has a decent symphony, get him there. Do whatever you must to make him understand that music that is timeless will endure far beyond the vapid, repulsive, putrid trash he thinks is cool.

mnwildpunk Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Charlie I have been watching the mpls city pages waiting to see when Orchestra hall has a kids day I remember when I went to it back in the 80's they played tunes such as the bonanza theme, green hornet, batnam and many other cool tunes and I've been hooked on the stuff ever since Edited July 15, 2014 by mnwildpunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwrass Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Dave, Anything Brubeck is all good!!!Take Five Is a Classic I'm much like John Shoe, their was always music In our house when I was growing up and their were many flavors to choose from. When I was very young my father was a tenor in a Barber Shop Quartet which was really big in that era (50s early 60s) I was raised on rock (JDWinter) and my dad really liked allot of it. One Bands he used to really like was Emerson, Lake and Palmer, he favored the Trilogy album and particularly liked the Sheriff and Hoedown. American Standards with a rock flair, genius on ELPs part really. My Daughter listens to more of my music that she heard while she was growing up than what she bought and listened to when she was able to make her own choices!! there is hope!

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 ... The more we listen, the more we learn and the more selective we become until you... expand your horizon into otherwise unknown territory, like Dave Brubeck or jazz in general. The fact that your son even questions it means he's noticing and beginning to sort out his own thoughts about music choice. Exactly. Being exposed to different genres allows a young person to realize there's a whole wide world full of music beyond the packaged commercial swill-du-jour. Only being exposed to what his immediate peer group listens to is...probably mind numbing. I'm gonna go put on some Miles. PS. I didn't really discover jazz until I was in my late 20s, though I do recall being drawn to TV and movie themes with a jazz feel when I was much younger.

Tom Geiger Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You did let him in on the secret that you was one of the old people?!?! My father was a big audio fan and had 100s of records. All old people music. When he died I acquired them, tubs and tubs of music that wasn't mine. As I sorted through I started to recognize the albums from when I was a kid. I popped some on the turn table (yes, I have a turn table!) and realized that I recognized every track. And it didn't sound all that bad. So I kept a mess of them. Bet ya my father was smiling.
