jeffcrom Posted January 12, 2010 Report 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
carnivore Posted January 12, 2010 Report 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

AllenLowe Posted January 12, 2010 Report 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
paul secor Posted January 12, 2010 Report 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

DukeCity Posted January 13, 2010 Report 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

Jazzmoose Posted January 13, 2010 Report 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
sidewinder Posted January 13, 2010 Report 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
JohnS Posted January 13, 2010 Report 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
