Why are you bringing up a musical format which has (in my opinion) little to do with most of us signed up for "Dixieland Jazz".<br>
<br>
Don't get me wrong, my tastes go from Dixieland, to Swing, to classical, etc. I imagine that others feel the same way. Frankly, I have Gil Evans' "Porgy and Bess" and it's great music.<br>

It's not that I'm accusing any of the even more senior brethren, but on playing the Gil Evans and friend PORGY AND BESS on what I could call dimwoes mediocre betrayer I found an alleged description "smooth jazz" -- and whatever dowp and dimwit is charged with that libel rated the CD at half a star..... <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I suspect that persons in less than the robustest health might disable the standering facility of Dimwoes Mediocre Player before there's an accident. <br>
