[Dixielandjazz] Good Tunes?

[Richard Broadie]

Of course I'm one of "those stuck up snobbish Jazzers that most of us believe give Jazz a bad name."  That's how I attained my world wide fame for anonymity.  :-)

    I really think the thing that constitutes a good tune is it's
    appropriateness in a given situation.  Just about every tune ever written
    can be performed in a manner that will be appropriate to some members of an
    audience.  However when you're performing in a venue that has a history of
    only playing, for example, bop, and the customers are there to hear that
    particular genre, Crazy and Deep in the Heart of Texas are not terribly
    appropriate.  I love these songs under other circumstances but not in
    Shelley's Mannhole in Hollywood circa 1965.   Dick

  Now you tell us why you didn't want to play them, that's not fair Dick, ya got us all worked up because we thought you were just being one of those stuck up snobbish Jazzers that most of us believe give Jazz a bad name.

  Cheers,
