[Dixielandjazz] Glenn Gould - The Revolutionary

[Ric Giorgi]

Steve, thanks for posting the (abridged) article. Gould lived not
far from me and he was certainly no 'ordinary guy'. There's a lot I
don't agree with in the article and part of it may be my being
protective of a local son but.....

maybe Gould was just taking Beethoven seriously when Beethoven said
"Repetition is the death of art"?

Cheers, 

Ric

CAVEAT - NOT OKOM. But some do enjoy Glen Gould as threads earlier
this year
indicated. And give the recent thread on "Artistic Temperament" or
the
mental state of some artists, this is a good read about a space
cadet who
displayed an enormous talent, was an extra-ordinary man and did
things his
way.  Not too different in that regard from Louis, Bechet, Bix,
Bird, Monk
and countless others in the world of jazz.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
