Marek;

The problem is with the term OKOM ("Our Kind Of Music") which is presumptive
without having been defined to include specific styles of jazz or other
forms of music for that matter. Both JJ Johnson and Jimmy Cleveland are
included in "My Kind Of Music" and in Marty's kind of music as well. We
agree on, at least, these two jazz musicians.

Just to be certain, do you like the music of either or both Johnson and
Cleveland?

But neither Johnson nor Cleveland played OKOM (the latter - more so).
Cheers

remember that the Ken Burns jazz thing (what was it called?) omitted mention
of the great J. J. Johnson except for a photo of J.J. in a session with
Miles Davis. But that is off the subject; Jimmy Cleveland was another great
that too few got a chance to hear IMO.
