Sorry: sauce is a musical reference not an insult! Re: [-empyre-] Mobile territory
I am so sorry that there woulkd be a consusion on the term "sauce" for
instance I had not noticed the recurrent repetition of "sauce" in your text,
like responding to an insult!
Simon: to say that "the sauce" in Jazz is not unfriendly but really an
emergent language from the composers or directors to create or call for an
environmental universe of ambiance of sounds not being the structure of the
composition itself but the support (specially through the rythm): of one
instrument or several ones. (Salsa being considered as the veru and
exclusive music in proper object of the sauce to support the singers).
I its to hear in archives for any Jazz men such as Duke Ellington speaking
of his own music by quoting "the sauce"....
I apologize if you have heard it otherwise. Of course the criticism was in
my intention opposing the concept and the sauce as the proper instrument
mode being at the opposite of its notion of function (can being several
different) in music. It was really a metaphoric criticism not an insult
because it was not from the side of any value. Just from the side of the
distinctive conceptions of reasoning or telling..
To show how thinking that any words would be consensual all over my bad
English is not the very problem of the English (which is really a problem
but from another hand), but a problem of several cultures that are
confronted through the generations and the different life and may be even
into one very generation of nowadays, being a young one. That shows exactly
what I said concerning that the western culture as common symbolic front
over the question of the Languages (from the part of the sense) has
disappeared as proper symbolic culture (poetry, literature, arts and so on
but may be more a part of the scientific universe that had all a part of
political mirror concerning the productive pact with the society from
capitalism till communism).
is not telling "the sauce" in Jazz
