his discussion of fats navarro is just sickening to hear.

Have not listened but if any of Blakey's answers sound "nuts", he was losing his hearing (big time) by then. Give him some slack. I could tell you stories about his hearing "on stage".

I forgot to say he was "nuts" anyway.

thanks.

dont think he was nuts when he talked about the eckstein band and 8 dollars a night and trips through the south and betcar, and fats dying at 25 of tb when the people thought he was a drunk.

i'm just listening to him talk. he didnt need any questions.

oh dear have we missed something that has gone on and then off. I take it there was an issue with a link?

I decided to delete my post in the spirit of becoming less of a negative person, although some of my co-workers are making it very hard

i learn more from the people that disagree with me than from those that agree.
