[Dixielandjazz] Who puts the "jazz" in jazz?

[Ministry of Jazz]

Hi Bob,

I guess we're allowed to disagree. I don't entirely disagree with you. Like
I said, I use the click as much as I find it helpful. Its just that there
are cases where for me it isn't. Anyway, I do thank you for your advice, and
the Louis Armstrong track sounds super.

Cheers,

Elazar

Dear Elazar,

Of course, having recorded with a click track, I disagree with you.

See my recording "The Great Pacific Jazz Band" "The Music of Louis
Armstrong" at www.ringwald.com/recordings.htm

Of course, some of the guys on the recording were longtime studio musicians
and had no problem playing with a click track.

It just takes practice.  It is merely a matter of keeping time.
