| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you're a fervent nationalist when the subject turns to... anything at all.Davis spent "too much time in Europe?" Please explain. Seems to me he had a very rewarding career doing what he chose to do at every turn.I doubt we'll ever get you t... | |

| Jazz for aficionados If, at 93, I were still able to melt hearts with beautiful tone and playing sensitivity the way Heath does on "Fashion or Passion," I'd reach ecstatic contentment (if that makes any sense).Thank you Jimmy Heath, RIP. (And thanks Rok.) | |

| Jazz for aficionados O10, thanks, love that Pettiford piece. Marvelous. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I suppose each of us has our own idea of what is and isn't Delta in a blues sense, but I have to agree with you that the city of N.O. was a relative void in the birth and development of blues music. In that sense, you're also likely correct ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Pops was born and raised (and imprisoned) in the Delta. In his youth, he feared leaving N.O. at all. He eventually gave it a shot when he was invited to play jazz on riverboats. Once summoned to join King Oliver's band in Chicago in 1922, ... |
