[net.music] A jazz fan"s lament

jtm@syteka.UUCP (Jim McCrae) (04/11/85)

This flooding-the-net stuff is a bit indulgent, don't you think?
Why should a true lover of jazz feel squeamish about submitting
directly to net.music? Is there a higher form of music that "pure"
jazz? I doubt it. (Ow! It's getting hot in here!) As for the "who
listens to Joe Pass/Sarah Vaughan/etc" query, I listen to large
doses of jazz. I'd rather listen to Kate Bush than Joe Pass (he's
a little low key for me) but I give myself weekly fixes of Bill
Evans, Charlie Parker, Eric Dolphy, even Bennie Goodman. Long
live jazz! Now put the Cramps back on would you?
