[Dixielandjazz] Dado Moroni and Rosario Giuliani

[Paul Kurtz Jr]

Marek, you’re right about your feelin gs, rights, and those of others as well. And yes, you’ve had the experiences with Bolshevism to be a creditable commenter. 

As a guy who considers myself a friend, though, some of your negative comments regarding other kinds of jazz when somebody else comments on what they like lean towards that same Bolshevism. Do you mean it that way? I don’t think so; you just have strong opinions. But you know, probably better than most of us on this list, that that other guy’s right to love other kinds of jazz is just as imnportant as yours. 

So, what I’d do if I were you is just consider your opinions and statements and their effects on others when you write so we all have a free list. And yes, I like Kind of Blue and some of the hard bop jazz Miles did without liking other of his things. My calling you a hard nut to crack was a tongue-in-cheek reference since I figured most people on the list know your opinions. 

Lastly, definitely, definitely keep supporting and reporting what you do from Israel because I like that music as well and think it’s wonderful that many things that are good are going on there.

I don'[t understand how I allowed myself to be dragged again into this futile dispute.  
OK, I listen only to trad - "It ain't nobody's business if I do."  It is perfectly all right for you to listen to so-called "modern" jazz and enjoy it - again, "It ain't nobody's business if you do."  We still live in free countries, where everybody is entitled to an opinion.  Trying to foist your opinions on me smacks of bolshevism - I know, I lived in a country where the powers that be dictated to us what we should we should or should not like (jazz was on of the things we were not supposed to like).  Trying to make me a masochist does not stand to reason. There is only one reservation - listen to whatever you wish to your heart;s content, but NOT within hearing distance from my ears, to which it sounds offensive.  
Comments on one's being limited (isn't the politically correct expression "intellectually challenged?") makes very little sense, and is hardly convincing.
Cheers

You must surely be bored listening to the same thing all the time without any stimulation. I suppose you learn it by rote, like a kid with nursery rhythms?

They'll know their audience, and have the technical abilities to adapt so that they'll remid you of Johnny Hodges and the others! You might miss out on something and regret it.

>>> Right now I'm listening to them playing "Lennie's Pennies," and it seems that, while the pianist sounds fine, the saxophonist is far from an OKOM'er.
