Sorry coffeesp00ns, for the extra attention. I just appreciate the hell out of this comment and think it's worth sharing. I think I might go as far as to say it's my favorite response I've gotten from someone on Hubski yet.
who was saying we should reward good comments in the newsletter? this is a good example
Thanks lil, the next newsletter should have some awesome comment highlights. :)
---- In all seriousness, There is SO much more to the history of Jazz than what I wrote, so many important players i missed. I just condensed and used what I could remember offhand while putting it into an analogy I've been thinking about for a while now. If you want to know more, look into Ken Burns' Jazz documentary series, it's pretty good. Gunther Schüller's books on Jazz are probably pretty good (i've never read them personally).
