[Dixielandjazz] Music theory

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Actually I think we just said the same thing Gary, but I am not sure of 
my grammar, or maybe you are writing in French :))

When I mentioned about the Dirty Dozen gong over the heads of their 
audiences that was what I meant, you have a much simple choice of words 
on the subject,  Thanks,   Some shows I think it could only get more 
musically confusing if Michael Brecker and Maynard Ferguson sat in with 
them.  :))    Mass musical mayhem and confusion emits all too often, 
and the word Melody just slips from the musical vocabulary altogether 
for a while.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

  Bravo!! Don't forget "ability to listen and adapt." I, personally, 
would prefer playing with musos with perhaps not the best chops, but 
listen to each other rather that a group of monsters-of-their-axes just 
playing away on their own. 
 
 Just my pea brained thoughts, Gary
