Bill Holman? Stoopid muzak! Bah! Big fan of Brookmeyer and Geru here... their music has a freshness that continues to be striking still today. Not your usual run-of-the-mill hardbop crap that those weird Germans in New York produced... you know, all those boring albums by overrated guys like Horace Silver, Art Blekey (sp?), Hank Mobley, Jackie McLean and all those other boring fellas. ← you just mentioned four of the greatest names in jazz history, so you like sarcasm too, thats cool....... ← To each his own... for me Mulligan and Pepper and Brookmeyer are just as much "great names" as Blakey and Silver and company! ← how many boormeyer albums do you own...........

i don't see anyone attacking clifford thornton for his comments.................

surprised, not at all. read the thread

dave james, show me where I said you were uninformed. did MJM really say that about you????????????

bruce w, your comments are baseless.........

its not good enough to say that a persons positions are unreasonable, you have to give examples, if you don't this renders your position unreasonable

call me names if you want, just be sure and call. bottom line is pepper 'the best post-bop alto player since bird' that guy was obviously smoking something or he dosen't have any records by mclean, adderley, stitt and the like . poor bob the valve guy, no one to really compare him to, not fare to metion the slide guys next to him, mulligan, come on guys and gals, do you really want to compare him to adams and parker and payne, that wouldn't be fare. i didn't realize there were so many hypocrits on this forum, you say my thread is 'worthless' yet you read and respond, you tell people to stop reponding by responding. sometimes it hurts when your heroes are exposed. i was hurt to no end to find out that superman couldn't fly and that wrestling was fake, i didn't say those three shouldn't be rated, i said they were overated.

but here you are dennis, responding just like the rest, why.............

no taunting here brother, just the hard to swallow truth

sometimes the truth hurts. a lot people have told the truth and been told they're unreasonable and not worth debating

as i've said before, i've heard mulligans playing, can't dig that lightweight approach. just got through listening to "The Tenor Scene" by The Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis-Johnny Griffin Quintet. Thats what i call jazz................

it was nothing personal against those gents. maybe the original post could have been written a little better, i will agree with you on that point kenny..........

Nope. Not at all. He's both in my world. ← ok kenny, i can dig that........ ← And I suspect I'm not alone! Have you heard any of the Mulligan Concert Jazz Band albums? ← no i haven't, think it would be a waste of my time, ive heard his playing and imo its the jazz equivilant(spelling) to elavator music. to lightweight, i like the heavy, intense, blusey hard bop playing of pepper adams, leo parker, ronnie cuber, charles davis ← how could i leave out cecil payne, and gary smulyan

saw EA with harold mabern and george coleman a jazz at pearl's in s.f. a few months ago. i was already a fan of his(i have most of his cd's). had a very brief conversation with him during intermission. one of the main reasons i like him is because he is a big fan of and has been greatly influenced by DEXTER GORDON, my favorite ts player. my favorite dex cd is Go, ea's favorite is either Gettin Around or Doin Allright can't remember which. i must say that imo it might be time for george coleman to hang up his axe. somewhat erratic and still drinks a lot.......

Nope. Not at all. He's both in my world. ← ok kenny, i can dig that........

bob brookmeyer "major and revered" you've got to be kidding.......

live or dead? ← i'm glad you snuck that 'i would bet' in there

jazzbo, I wish you could give a huge dose of your tolerance to some of your buddies on this forum

you're the one who's not a worthy adversary, what a pittiful little response

'a worthless thread that I participated in' what's that say about you mark? are you a worthless person with too much time on your hands?

Jazzshrink, you read it and responded to it so it must not be too much of a waste

are you on some kind of ego trip because your name appears on the back of a cd, who gives a crap about your tastes, I have 1500 jazz cd's and you didn't buy any of them for me so i could care less about your taste, its all about my taste, thas what counts when im on half.com, amazon.com or go into amoeba or rhasputin........the ignorant jerk

chuck and you say Im in the attacking mood, check your own comments, im not going to continue to remain calm with comments like "ignorant", "looking for a fight", "too confrontational" "jerk award", if its a fight you want i'll give you the fight of your life. sid's comments add absolutly NOTHING to the music. as a matter of fact they distract from the music. and at least you agree with me re: mulligan, brookmeyer and pepper, this is why i don't visit the site much let alone post, the nerve of you, i havent attacked anyone, im responding to attacks on me although mark said he was having fun. not at some elses expense i hope.............the ignorant jerk
