interesting video clip....,.and that sounds like a good jazz suggestion Brian, will we need to get tickets before we leave to catch a show by someone that big??
Question to you jazz scholars.... On a number of my jazz records , it is quite common for the musician , (usually it is a trumpet player) , to miss notes , or be a bit flat, for example like Johnny Coles on that video clip around the 5:15 min mark for a few seconds...Miles davis does it quite a bit on sketches of spain, etc etc... is this for you guys , just the greatness of getting live passionate music taken off the floor warts and all ...I never hear critics discuss this...like it is taboo somehow to criticise these historical sessions....You dont seem to hear it on new modern recorded discs from the last decade, it only seems to happen on recordings from the 50s and 60s..
