Jazz page at Blindman Blue's Forum

[ghost of miles]

Just wanted to mention that the very good Blindman Blues Forum, which is moderated by Organissimo poster Tom1960, has added a jazz section. I know some other Organissimo posters have joined, and I just registered the other day. Looks like a great place! (Not to take anything away from Org, which remains far & away the best jazz discussion board on the Net. )

The depth of knowledge, and detailed knowledge, in the blues discussions on Blindman's Blues Forum is staggering to me. I thought that I generally knew my blues, but I quickly discovered that I was in deep water when I got into those blues discussions.

I like the jazz discussions there because they are just starting. It is like being on a jazz board in 1999. Some of the blues lovers are genuinely curious about jazz and ask questions such as "Is Dexter Gordon any good?" Since the poster has just blown me away with incredible knowledge of Son House, far beyond what I thought any person could know, there is no way that a fair-minded person is going to dismiss the inquiry or mock it, as might happen on some of the jazz boards today.
