jeffcrom Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I read this three times, and all I get out of it is that Mr. Jackson chose a roundabout and dickish way of saying that he didn't like a CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnivore Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 In his favor - the Champion Jack album to which he refers is terrific, with great playing by altoist Pete Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Champion Jack, and not just that album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 that Guardian guy don't know shit from shineola - just generalizations. Lots of that music is excellent (ask Chris Albertson who produced a bunch of N.O. stuff for Atlantic, as did Herb Friedwald, Will's dad) - and the whole collector thing is a lot more complicated too. That guy's a know-nothing (and for the record, Baby Dodds' bass drum was held by Moe the Moocher, a local bookie). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ho hum. Glad he was able to find one recording out of hundreds of thousands out there that he likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeCity Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I read this three times, and all I get out of it is that Mr. Jackson chose a roundabout and dickish way of saying that he didn't like a CD. Not to pick a nit, but, since the article was originally published in 1960, I'm guessing it was an LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well, I think he nails the "knowledgeable fan" attitude pretty well; I'll bet it would be a lot funnier if it was someone else's ox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Champion Jack Dupree (London LTZ-K 15IT1) Ah - those were the days. London label, deep groove, silver text on maroon label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Champion Jack Dupree (London LTZ-K 15IT1) Ah - those were the days. London label, deep groove, silver text on maroon label. Remember it well. I had it too. Alas it went in a trade in during more difficult times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
