VG, I meant, sorry!

Exactly VA (hope you don't mind the abbreviation) He certainly could improvise, that's for sure. Can you imagine him recording with, lets say, Mingus? Tough to but could have worked.

Hello! I see that Simon8 had posted this in the past but then again, I'm new here. Hello Veteran groover, I really don't find De Franco too straining on the ear at all but I do find his approach, to whatever songs he recorded was lacking chops, maybe the personel he worked with, I don't know? Don't get me wrong in respect to his talent, there's nobody who could improvise better than him but he sort of faded away because as I mentioned, he hung out with a different crowd and veered away in the mid 50's. Now, as for him playing the Bass Baritone more often, that would have made him more interesting, wouldn't you say?

Hello, in case you didn't know, I have a Jazz Radio Station that runs 24/7, take a listen, checkout the blog here. It's NOT "Just All That Jazz." Thank you for your attention.

Hello everyone, first post here. I have many albums in mind but just to get into the groove here, have you heard of the 1964 album "Blues Bag." Unless you can find the Vinyl album, this album can be purchased in CD but comes with another album. great stuff, Buddy De Franco is playing Bass Clarinet on this one and should had played it more often, great stuff!
