| Jazz for aficionados *****Dr. John is like a museum for Nawlins; he keeps all the old ways like "Gri Gri", and other "hoodoo" stuff alive.*****He sure does. In fact, Nawlins seems to be noise-maker / progressive proof. They stay with the authenic stuff. Good for them.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****I only realized from your posts how important "Nawlins" is to our musical heritage*****It's importance cannot be overstated. Not only did Jazz begin there, it is possible, that it was the ONLY place it could have been created. You could say N... | |

| Jazz for aficionados *****Wynton Marsalis*****Love the guy for what he does for the music. I shudder to think where we would be if the 'wrong' guy had the gig at Lincoln Center. He is a great ambassodor for Jazz.His playing? I don't think Be-bop/hard bop is his natura... | |
| Jazz for aficionados *****I was only feet away from both players when I heard them; no recording, and no recording equipment can duplicate organ, not even high end.*****I agree. When I lived in Endicott, NY, my favorite Bar, in nearby Binghamton, had a house band base... | |
