| Jazz for aficionados That’s not, exactly, what I said; and, you suggest the obvious. Of course Rouse was no Coltrane. However, that is precisely what made him so perfect for Monk’s quartet. Just because any given player is of the stature of Trane (not many) doesn’t me... | |

| Jazz for aficionados In my last post I mistakenly referred to the title of the “new” Blakey recording as “Coolin’ It”. The correct title is “Just Coolin’”. The title tune “Just Coolin” also appears on “At The Jazz Corner of the World”, a double album of live performan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, still not playing, but since it is the decent to do I will try and answer your question. For the record, the reason that I said “I am not playing” is that you questioned my motivation for making the comment about live/studio and, as in the p... | |
