I play the piano, organ and oboe. Once I had an opportunity to play the clarinet, too. My friend taught me how to play the solo from Beethoven's "Coriolan". This was fun:grin:.

Hi ellie87 :tiphat:

Welcome to this international musical discussion forum, the MIMF. You should soon become friends with a lot of people here, since your main interest is classical music and the fans. You´ll find them all here, including the multi instrumentalists, the composers, the pipe organists even some jazz freaks like me.

So please, share any of your musical experiences on classical music and the regulars here will love you, and return their own experiences to you, some of them being mentors for others.

Have fun!!

Intet, I didn't know you had to be a freak to enjoy Jazz, so that's where I have been going wrong.

Ms. Margaret :tiphat:, ellie87 :tiphat:, the typical jazz freaks sir Mat :tiphat: and sir Corno Dolce aka The Magician from Oceania :tiphat:

That´s the good thing about the MIMF for the little however highly estimated group of jazz freaks. I write my post for my buddy and equal jazz freak Mat, and you Ms. Margaret from England with very tight relations to one famous English saxophone player and notorius jazz freak Mr. Zoot, answers on behalf of Mat. Btw. Mr. Zoot is my excact physical picture of a jazz freak. It´s such a precise image that words are unnessesary of course, if you´re into the freaks-thing that you Ms. Margaret most certainly is. :clap::clap::banana::banana::trp::trp::wave::wave::lol::lol:. I you disagree try to look possitive on it, like you did in your choice of a car, which turned out to be a realy sweet freak-car. :clap::clap::banana::banana::trp::trp::wave::wave::lol::lol:

So without getting myself into another jam, I´ll second what another freak told publicly years ago: "Now look what another mess you have gotten me in to", spoken by one particular freak as well Mr. Oliver Hardy.

So for ellie87 it must be seen the MIMF to be a pleasent site to stay with, the welcome committee and it´s code of politeness and friendlyness is awesome. She has already begone her self-taught career on the guitar, influenced by a lot of beautiful reaching-out-for people here at the MIMF, and she knows we´re almost a family, where any freak can answer on behalf of someone else, and mostly the response will be - freakable. :lol::lol::lol::lol::banana::banana::trp::trp::tiphat::tiphat::clap:. In your own words Ms. Margaret: Happy I could teach you something about jazz freaks, that is in my own self invented definition on jazz freaks and the need for more jazz freaks, like yourself Ms. Margaret and everybody else, they are always welcome with new inspiration.

I can remember it was Mat, who asked me from my first entry on January 1, 2008 to help to bring this jazz thread up to a better standard for the freaks. Of course another esteemed jazz freak sir Corno Dolce contributes regurally as well. In fact it was Ms. rojo I believe, who completely unselfish reaching-out-for created the freaking jazz thread.

Of course in the end Ms. Margaret, on the bottom line we all contribute and in this buisness we´re all really freaks. :grin::cool::):D;)

Intet - my friend or as it was said earlier - jazz freak,

To be exact, it was January 2, when I asked for your help. And now I see that we all did great. Jazz forum is now quite busy part of the MIMF. And it's getting more and more developed. So, thank you all, who made this progress possible.:grin::grin::grin::tiphat:

Well, I don't perceive the word "freak" here as something wrong or negative. It is quite the other way round. Nevertheless, among some of my friends (they don't know the beauty of jazz) I'm considered as a freak because I listen to jazz. The truth is that they are freaks:p. They are losing so much they don't even realize. But the day will come when they say: "Mat , you were right.":p One if them has aleready changed. Now she listens to the "proper":grin: music. And whenever there's a concert at our local jazz club she is willing to come and have a great time.:grin::grin::grin:


Humbly and respectfully yours,
Mat:tiphat::tiphat::tiphat:

My dear equal jazz freak and friend Mat :tiphat:.

I salute you for your explanation on the word "freak" connected to jazz:

"Well, I don't perceive the word "freak" here as something wrong or negative. It is quite the other way round. Nevertheless, among some of my friends (they don't know the beauty of jazz) I'm considered as a freak because I listen to jazz. The truth is that they are freaks:p.

And whenever there's a concert at our local jazz club she is willing to come and have a great time.:grin::grin::grin:".

In particular, I salute you with a thousand smiles :) for the expression about your girl friend: "Now she listens to the "proper" music.", equals Jazz music.

Now, here´s the contradiction in terms about Jazz and wearing the title of a "jazz freak". Historicly Jazz as a musical style has never been accepted in our western societies as an equal music direction in the establishment to for instance classical music, opera, rock, gospel, pop, folk or any other ethnic music style. Jazz has it´s own history in music to be evolved from The Blues and before the Blues the Negro Spirituals, sung by slaves in the cotton and sugar fields back in the past. So Jazz as a musical artform has been originated in the USA.

It´s also considered for jazz musicians to have the ability, the skills to improvise on the stage or in the recording studio, which are not appropriate in other musical styles.

We all know, it´s not popular to be called a "freak", when "freak" represents someone who for reasons of physical or mental disabilities from birth or both wears the name of "a freak". Or as the word "freak" have been used about sexual minority groups like gay people for instance. Nor when someone characterize the group of serial killers as "freaks".

But to me personally it is one of the highest forms of expressions in the characterisation of, who I am as a man in my own life, when someone call me a "jazz freak". I wear this title proudly, like you do Mat. So I salute you for this tooooooooooooooooo:tiphat::clap::banana::trp:
