Embarrassing gaffe in the article referring to Lester Young.

I heard him a couple of times sitting in with Lucky Peterson, taking over the keyboards while Lucky switched to guitar. The only person I ever heard doing this who sounded like Lucky's equal.

Another time there was supposed to be a solo piano concert in a downtown church, but some sort of airline flight issue caused him to not arrive.

The level of music knowledge in Dallas area journalists writing about music is usually very low.

Even in classical reviews, which far too often resemble judges sheets at a UIL contest than they do any real engagement with the greater impact of a performance. Perhaps too much "music knowledge" and not enough musical knowledge? 

I get that it can be a fine line, but in a town with so much soulful music, there's a dispiriting lack of soulful awareness of same.
