[Dixielandjazz] What constitutes a good solo?

[Phil Wilking]

No, what I am saying is that everything has its place. A concert is where 
"musical appreciation" and "listening to a really good band" belongs.

And even then, if it is a really good "band," I want to hear all of them 
working together most of the time. If it is one good player and a bunch of 
not-so-good ones, then I probably shall leave fairly quickly.

If it is a dance, then the purpose of the evening is NOT music appreciation, 
it is Lady Appreciation, and the best musicians understand that.

C'mon Phil,

By saying this:

I am there to pay attention to the woman and
any distraction from that defeats the whole purpose of the evening.

What you are basically saying is"
"screw music appreciation or listening to a really good band, all I want is
sex..."
