[Dixielandjazz] Kenless Bums

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

Ken being knowledge you can guess Kenless and Bums is a rewriting of BURNS 
WHICH MAY clue some people in to the fact that I have been watching the Ken Burns documentary of DockYourTail film series on British Freeview TV all Easter Monday.  
I should imagine that for people who like and revere Donald Trump the style of general commentary could please them if used in an excessively laudatory documentary on Donald Trump, the sort of thing so over the top it could be taken for satire. 
Jehu Roadman it was who delivered the emetic exequy at the end, with a lot of drivel about Jazz being combined with different music.Teaching granny to suck eggs is one thing, but when shallow sub-genres of pop are mistaken for anything half the depth of jazz it's rather more having granny give birth to great-grandchildren of hers, artificial insemination of course but with serioius doubts about a supposed integrity of egg ...  
Where is jazz going?This is a silly question based on bad mathematics. I mean, only a small minority of jazz performances are by funeral marching bands... 

Surely a great deal of what has mattered in jazz has been an advance of something already there,and an arrest of a process as natural as ... take the case of Doc Cheatham.
A natural development of Doc's case when he had lung trouble in the early 1930s would have silenced his trumpet then. 
An intelligent course was however preferred and applied 
Rumours of the whereabouts of Gabriel's horn might be worth checking,but a huge raspberry on trombone should be applied to some sanctimonious claptrap
HALLELUJAh  (postpone amens anyway)!
