orpheus, have not heard for the particular piece (ain’t that a surprise ;) ), enjoyed very much listening and was intrigued by the title that made me wonder about this 27th Man. Thank you for posting it. Another one from Horace, remarkable music i...

pryso, thank you for this recommendation, I remember your post mentioning the concert in San Diego...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGsVqF-URXcThe ’content’ (if you allow yourself to be imaginative) on this one is actually similar to the one of J...

Thank you Frogman for your reply. Louis sings on this one also, as you would say, with the gravel in his voice but notice the quote from Duke Ellington on the beginning of the clip: "He was born poor, died rich, and never hurt anyone along the way...

I was following your discussion, great thoughts you have and very interesting links you posted Frogman. I also thought that the use (of course non intentional) of four bars of music is perfectly legal. Must dig more into the subject.

Alex, I think that you haven’t said anything on which Frogman would not agree. Pity you cannot see it. You and Frogman talk the same but just from other perspectives.p.s. But your last sentence is somehow, unnecessary.

Frogman, ok, good, now I understand you better. Things are much clearer, if not completely.One more thing:"Have there been musicians of the artistic caliber of a Satchmo, Bird, Miles, Sonny Rollins, Trane, Bill Evans and, yes, Ornette Coleman, or ...

Frogman, I have a friend who share your opinion on this subject. The man is extremely smart, and I have no reason to doubt his mind in general. What I want to say that in 90% of the cases I agree with him on various subjects but sometimes and at s...

I enjoyed both links pryso, thank you and yes you have noticed it well, Chet seems to appear more often on the list I’ve posted. It is not that I do not admire other giants and not that I don’t appreciate other instruments besides the trumpet (aft...

I've been following the recent discussion carefully and find All of you important, he**, even the 'irascible uncle' is important. Orpheus, I do have my list and haven't mentioned it since I've thought (and still do) that few would care, I mean, w...
