Not to be a timmy but I do not favor colored type for a spoiler alert, especially not red shades. They draw the eye, rather than simply alert. then one has trouble not reading the spoiler. Just something to think about next time?

Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group

I’m assuming reason for the low level of board activity is that everybody's over on FB pretending they listened to Ornette Coleman all the time?

{Checks.}

Yup.

I'm not on FB, but I once wrote a post describing the adversity that Ornette Coleman experienced early in his career. I'm not sure how I tied it all together, but recall comparing Hank to the lonely woman of Coleman's Lonely Woman. That post is lost forever in the unsearchable morass of the Lawtalkers archives, but it was some of my best work, if not my best work. In high school, I went through a serious free jazz phase, which coincided with my discovery that you could check record out of the local library, and my subsequent discovery that many of the records in the library were obscure free jazz. The Ornette Coleman record The Empty Foxhole is probably not some of his best work. But it served its purpose in high school.

All the time? No. But I have many of his albums, and saw him in concert at the SF Symphony hall (just him playing with Charnette Moffett, awesome bassist).

Maybe you need to pretend, but not all of us do. Asshole.

That's awesome. I saw Coleman in Baton Rouge early in his career. I was young and rigid in my thinking and I thought he was full of crap, so I beat him the fuck up and wrecked his tenor sax. But I think this was ultimately a good thing because it got him onto the alto, which was a way better way for him to express his voice, if you know what I mean. Anyway, we later became friends, and I was the one who told him that, if he was going to let them write out the chords he had to play over, they might as well write out his entire solo for him. He dug that, man. Later, he said he felt like he could play flat in tune or sharp in tune, but never mentioned that he got that from me. Did you know he didn't like the name "Lonely Woman"? He wanted to call it "Out To Lunch." I said, no man, that makes you sound like a fucking clarinet player or something. He agreed. I hooked him up with Jerry, although I now think that may have been a mistake. Anyhoo, it's cool that we can share our remembrances of him on this day.

You know what I wonder about? Why it is that, if I suggest I am a jazz fan, I hear (1) one set of assholes saying, in essence, "no, you can't be... because I'm really not so you must also be pretending" and (2) another set of assholes trying to explain why something I love is "bad".

At least Asshole Category1 does it on the Anon board, rather than on Facebook. So, you are one up on Hank. Congratu-fuck-inglations. That's up there with being able to outrun Ornette Coleman.

but if one is punk one must prostelisize (sp?) that any other music is bad. so isn't your rejection of me for calling jazz bad simply calling my punk leanings bad? Icky, ruling?

Don't know much about punk.* Pretty sure it's not synonymous with "asshole" or "Hank."




*Note that, since I don't know much, I don't try to judge it. Go figure.
