[Dixielandjazz] RE: was Oscar & OKOM

[Tito Martino]

Dear Norman 

I not only enjoy but also learn from your posts. 

About mine, don't forget I am Italian (Latino if you want) and rather
emotional in my argumentation. 

About the post from my buddy Rev. Tom, methinks he is in the verge of
founding a new religion AOM (Alpha and Omega Music) where adepts go far
out, stay in trance and keep playing one steady continuous low Bflat
backed by back-beat drums.  I'm out. 

Jazz content: "They can't take that away from me"

Tito:  I enjoy your posts.  Thanks for your comments and keep them up.
Agree, the phrase  "playing OKOM is the beginning of all musical wisdom"
was
a bit of musical hyperbole on my part.
One phrase I heard once went like this:  " You have to be able to play
'far
in' before you can play 'far out.'"
