It's not a matter of Jabbo or Red Allen “copying” Louis but being influenced in important, noticeable ways, yet but also being highly individualized. As As Marek says, they don’t “sound alike.” But certainly they derived much from Louis’ playing. Tracking this isn’t an exact science, like genealogy—a metaphor--but it’s a legitimate and interesting part of how we can think and talk about jazz. And yes, Bix was a true original with his own musical “progeny”—another metaphor. But as Wittgenstein said, all language is a matter of messing about creatively with metaphors. It’s a good game.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Charlie<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Apr 13, 2017, at 11:21 AM, Steve Voce <<a href="mailto:stevevoce@virginmedia.com" class="">stevevoce@virginmedia.com</a>> wrote:</div><div class=""><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""><p class="">Is there anyone else who doesn't think that Henry Red and Jabbo

I query bpth Jabbo Smith's and Red Allens being "Armstrong
