The Wrist Scan Jazz session is live! Let's share our favorites . . .
By: Dr No : September 23rd, 2022-17:20
. . . along with the watch (or watches) we're wearing today. Jazz is an acquired taste for me; I grew up listening to rock, folk, bluegrass, and country. But when I entered my thirties, the allure of jazz beckoned. Managed to see several greats before the...
The other legend I saw in concert was Lionel Hampton . . .

. . . in '87. Here's video of the happiest man in jazz . . . . . . the following year. On my wrist at the moment? A '53 Omega ref 2608. What are you wearing, and who are you listening to? Dig it, Daddy-O's! 🎷 ...
While reading thru Cap's list of jazz greats I counted three . . .

. . . I've seen perform live: Miles Davis (in his last public performance ever), Sarah Vaughn (twice!), and Stan Getz. It's going to be a V weekend here, Abel. Drove to Newport Beach Friday for the Watchtime event; there will be a brief report on our Omeg...
Seems to be an exciting weekend dear Art!

Of your Eilean Panerai dear Abel. They all look superb especially with the dial catching the light. Best regards Captain
Dig it…. Yes I do 🎷

Good to see your 53 Omega 2608. Have a great weekend dear Art
The watch is a piece of art…

The jazz I will need to catch up with. I do have some days of driving ahead, so that might give me an opportunity 🤞🏻

being highly musically educated, I must admit to only ever listening and liking a few of the Jazz music greats.... So my contribution here is going to be a somewhat alternative Jazz (Fusion) musician - Mr. Jan Hammer . Easily in the top 3 favorite modern ...
Ah, a modernist! . . .
By: Dr No : September 23rd, 2022-19:04
. . . and Jan Hammer isn't exactly vintage, either. 😉

Jan Hammer …

He certainly could play some cool music on Korg synths.

The world of Jazz is massive
By: mhz vph : September 23rd, 2022-19:48
And I have not even begun to explore the far reaches. But I've left some of my favorites at the bottom of the post (unfortunately, whenever I try to put text in between videos, the formatting gets screwed up). I chose my 'jazziest' watch for today: The hi...
Fair enough!
By: mhz vph : September 27th, 2022-20:09
We always have to make these kinds of decisions. If it wasn't for guitar, I'd probably be playing a lot more tennis.
Glad you like it!
By: mhz vph : September 27th, 2022-03:00
I'm definitely a sucker for a number of funky 70s and 80s designs
They spared no expense
By: mhz vph : September 27th, 2022-03:02
It's a big reason why I am so fascinated by early quartz watches. Modern marketing suggests that quartz is cheap and disposable, but back in those days, it was the premium option. And that was reflected in the quality of the cases and dials they used on q...

...deeply rooted in American history. As a musician, you need natural talent and deep emotional expression. Exploration in not only your own limits but also the limits of the instrument . True brilliance is a freeform musical discussion. It's not always a...
A most musical thanks 🎶🎵🎶

PS: A bit of jazz. The tones and sounds and harmonics.... . . ...and then there's Steve Smith.... And the legendary shuffle....
Mink deVille
By: Weems@8 : September 24th, 2022-08:57
Me as a fan must buy an Omega DeVille to honor William Borsey alias Willy DeVille.
Epic shots here 👌🏻
By: KMII : September 25th, 2022-14:39
My seven years of playing the trumpet were more must than want to, so never got to the exploration stage 🤷🏻♂️
I grew up with Jazz
By: Weems@8 : September 24th, 2022-08:53
It is so nice, it is so nice. While i now listening to pop music. A song from George Michael, actually it is a 80ties radio station. Much Spandau Ballet. Hey, now a song from the Dire Straights - The walk of life from the legendary Brothers in Arms album....
Seiko is very hard to like

if…… you grew up as a satisfied Casionado like me. Jazz masters, for me Paolo Conte and Tom Brown. Brubeck trio with take 5 is a real classic. Yes, Rock is more easy. Even classic music is easier. Jazz is a hot potato, a yellow dog. My favorite artists ar...

Great to see them live. David Sylvian was and still is a very cool guy.

She was very talented singer with a long career. . "Cry Me a River" is my personal favourite.
Never knew of Laura Fygi . . .
By: Dr No : September 25th, 2022-18:18
. . . 'til now. Thanks for the introduction, Livius. And welcome back to your fabulous Minerva. Best, Art
Laura Fygi
By: deBalzac : September 25th, 2022-22:12
Laura Fygi (Laura Ingrid Thérèse Fijgi) is one of my favorite female jazz singers. A jazzdiva in her native Holland, but nearly unknown in the rest of the world. Laura was born in Amsterdam, but grew up in Montevideo in Uruguay. In the mid 80's she sang i...

Hello dear Art and friends ! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend and having some fun. As I’m by the sea this weekend it’s all dive watches ! Some of the music I’m enjoying this weekend includes my contemporary Jazz favourites including… Roy Ayres.., h...
Nice to know you are enjoying a sea side weekend dear Captain!
By: Subexplorer : September 24th, 2022-22:17
You got a pair of wonderfully appropriate watches for the occasion. Are you doing some scuba activity there? Nice musical pieces you are sharing here Captain!! Keep enjoying your weekend so much! Cheers! Abel
Sailing…
By: Cpt Scarlet : September 25th, 2022-09:23
I would love to get some dives in but this vacation is all about sailing, exploring small coves and relaxing on some quiet beaches. The true essence of life ! Snorkelling gear should do the trick but you never know 😉 I hope you enjoy your weekend. Best re...
Sailing and exploring small coves is a very relaxing activity
By: Subexplorer : September 25th, 2022-15:31
… I’m sure you are enjoying it so much. Yes, having a basic snorkeling gear at hand would be very nice indeed. Keep enjoying!! We are having a nice weekend near the sea too. In a city some four hundred kilometers south of Buenos Aires. Always so lovely to...

Used to pass it by so often…
By: KMII : September 25th, 2022-14:41
But sadly never made it inside - the downside of living in a city and hoping there will always be time later 🤷🏻♂️
Hello dear KM …
By: Cpt Scarlet : September 25th, 2022-14:53
What did you used to pass by ?
O… yes !
By: Cpt Scarlet : September 25th, 2022-17:29
I was a little slow on that one 🤪
Simply what was on my wrist today
By: ChristianDK : September 24th, 2022-18:41
One of my all time favorites. Apologies for the gritty watch. I had taken my 7 year old on his first fishing trip. With all that sun in my eyes and the blissful atmosphere I just had to get a wrist shot of this beloved old companion. ...
Hahaha, fantastic
By: ChristianDK : September 25th, 2022-18:56
She expressed it perfectly, dear Peggy ♥️ Thank you dear Art 🤗
Jazz here and there for me…..

Mainly into metal, celtic, electro. Winding some watches and took a pix of the Tissot with the SG album… ...
A very cool theme Art!
By: KMII : September 25th, 2022-09:26
Jazz is the kind of music I have had grave difficulty listening to and enjoying over the last years - small kids and constant interruptions not exactly being conducive to it 🤷🏻♂️ But as it so happens I started listening to the first jazz album I ever got...
