    actually, LP, Dizzy said that to ME. And he CALLED Davey at home, personally, to ask Davey to record with him, on several occasions (Davey turned him down, but that's another story) - so white and/or Jewish does not eliminate people from having jazz talent or even from being best in class - so whaddaya think? Dizzy was just Uncle Tommin with me? Also, interesting quote from Bird, about Schildkraut, passed to me via Bill Triglia: "We were sitting in the car one night and Bird said something to me, indicated that Dave was going to have some problems, great as he was, beause he was a white guy and he would catch all kinds of trouble for being the best sax player around."

    Now we all know what an Uncle Tommin' white pleaser that Charlie Parker was -

    I actually think it's very possible that the Beach Boys were looking somewhat to Zappa when they made those records - the ironic, distanced lyrics are related to the whole new abstract rock thing, and Zappa was certainly seen as one of the leading rock non-conformists -

    well, as Lenny Bruce said, we all have to get get together - Jewis, gentiles, whites, blacks, Scandanavians, Italians, French, Germans - we all have to get together - and beat up the Greeks -

    or mayble, in this case, LP -

    this whole thing of reviewers and technical knowledge could start a whole other thread - I've never believed reviewers HAVE to be especially technically knowledgeable to write well on music, as a matter of fact, most of the best ones I've read have little tech knowledge. But they get themselves in trouble sometimes trying to sound authoritative. This has happened to Giddins on several occasions, even Martin Williams. I have a fair amount of technical knlwledge but am entirely self taught, so I find myslef treading carefully, or calling a friend like Randy Sandke to make sure I'm on firm ground (Randy being one of the most technically knowledgeable musicians I know) -

    hey, LP, here's Dizzy Gillespie on a white JEWISH saxohonist, Dave Schildkraut:

    "Dave was the only alto player to capture the rhythmic essence of Bird."

    Dizzy also mentioned that he called Dave on several occasions for recording sessions.

    no great Jewish players? (well, what did Dizzy know?)

    Hey, l p - many African Americans ripped off people in the record business - VeeJay Records or Don Robey - does that indicate some kind of genetic condition? Don't forget the Irish, the Roman Catholics, the Poles, the Russians, the Latinos - there's been plenty of ripoff to go around, funny that you only notice the Jews - how many Jews are in the Bush adminstration, the biggest rippoff going now? What's your background? Racist, anti-semitic, genocidal, white, yelloe, brown? C'mon, give us the truth oh member of the Aryan nation and dedicated anti-communist -

    well, if you are talking about chromaticism you are probably referring to the tonal ambiguity that can be created with chromatic playing - in other words there is no such thing as a wrong note, every note has some relationship to the key center. Jazz musicians have always used chromaticism to create a sense, really, of bi-tonality -
