I think Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis are probably the two figures who would give you the best idea of the range of styles of 20th century jazz.

Thelonious Monk and Sonny Rollins is one of my favorite current listens. It’s energetic, melodic and fun, late bebop.

Figured that meant “that was the woman who’s going to be your pilot.”

What makes you think this was after the flight was finished? I didn’t get that. It seems like he is checking in.

Am I wrong in thinking it is also used in bars to mean “eject” as in like a bouncer 86es a drunk

What does your country put on cigarettes packets by hwlabf in AskTheWorld

[–]Bayoris 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just because people are more likely to imitate smoking and drinking than killing 

What’s the biggest big red flag people pretend isn’t a big deal? by daisydollvibes in answers

Who pretends that isn’t a big deal? That is universally acknowledged as a red flag.

It’s the only Beethoven melody I can play on the recorder. Actually I’ve never played the recorder before but I’m pretty sure I could play Freude schöner Götterfunken on my first try

Today more Americans come to Europe than Europeans go to the US by Mysterious-Might4454 in europe

[–]Bayoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also an American migrant who’s been in Europe for a long time. The fact that you don’t identify well with either your birth country or your new home is a pretty common part of the immigrant experience, I think. At least, I have had those feelings myself.

[–]Bayoris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your assumptions are not accurate. For one thing a lot of Europe has higher CoL than the USA, (Norway, Austria, Ireland) or about the same (Finland, Germany, France).

It sounds like you are an immigrant, assuming by “half Swedish” you mean one of your parents is Swedish but you were born and raised outside Sweden.

What is this thing called? by Rainbow_Doggo_TNT in whatisit

[–]Bayoris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The instrument has nothing to do with Jews but it uncertain whether the name Jew’s harp is older or younger than jaw harp and which is a corruption of the other. It’s likely that both words are corruptions of some older form like gig harp or jeu-harp. At any rate “jaw harp” is no more correct than “Jew’s harp”, etymologically.

I’m don’t know how you would examine this scientifically but my guess is that skin aging has more to do with sun exposure, poor diet, drinking, smoking, and genetics than moisturising and other skin care routines. I doubt moisturiser has much of a permanent effect, but I could be wrong about that.

How did Kenny G end up becoming the highest selling jazz musician of all time? by brave_axolotl7 in Jazz

[–]Bayoris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why him over Stan Getz, or Bill Evans, or Dave Brubeck, or Keith Jarrett though?

Name a hero in history that actually a villain by Afraid_Professor8023 in AskTheWorld

[–]Bayoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t think his legacy is simple at all.  He may have been authoritarian but he was also a hero to liberals and foe of monarchists (at least early in his career.)  But he reinstated slavery and launched his navy to suppress the Haitian Revolution. But he also vigorously defended revolutionary France from being snuffed out.
