[Dixielandjazz] Evan Christopher - was Tony Scott

[Marek Boym]

Come on, Steve!
You have stated that you listened only to modernists.  I, on the other
hand, have as clearly stated that I hardly do (since I do listen to
Sonny Stitt, Monk solo, Clark Terry, I cannot say I don'r even if it
spoils my mouldy image).

High time you learn more words - in your previous you used "spout"
twice; now the same word again!  It's boring - I am sure you can do
better!

However, since I listten mostly to traditional, and regularly to Jm
Cullum, clearly I have heard a lot of Evan Christopher.  Besides, he
played here several times, both in Caesarea and in Tel-Aviv; by the
way, the Tel-Aviv show was marred by the band with which the
organizers burdened him - modernists who didn't even know "St. James
Infirmary," had to read their parts and whose solos were anything BUT
traditional or swing.

And, as I said in my previous, I don't like everything Evan
Christopher does -  not to keen on "Danza"  (in case you don't know it
- it's a CD of Evan Christopher and Tom McDermott; it's subtitled
'Tangos, Rags, Choros, Walthes and a Little Jazz', and features much
too little of the latter for my taste).

I better end here, before Bob tells us to continue off-list.
Cheers
