Rooster_Ties Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Well, I was just about to vote for Ellington, but then I thought that there's always this big holiday-less gap in the calendar, between July 4th and Labor Day. So, at the last second, I went with Pops with his birthday in early August. Also, why the hell isn't June 30th one of the choices?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I voted for Trane, because he's the most important to me. But I could see Louie being the day. What! No Miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Gotta be Pops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mule Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Yes, it HAS to be Pops' because not only is it his birthday, but it's also Lon's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I voted for Pops' birthday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Somewhere in my foggy memory, I seem to remember there was some debate as to what his birthday really is. From the WKCR web site: Louis Armstrong (b. August 4, 1901; d. July 6, 1971) (he believed his birthdate to be July 4th 1900, so we celebrate both birthdays.)

7/4 Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 (edited) I move that we declare John Coltranes birthday as a national holiday, seperate from the Jazz holiday. Edited January 9, 2004 by 7/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Shades of Florida!!!!I voted for Clifford Brown but somebody else snatched and grabbed it. Anyway I guess Pops would be the logical choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Didn't vote. No birthdate necessary. It should be a jazz holiday every damn day of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright Moments Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 had to be pops! B) i am amazed that anyone would vote for mingus. i guess it was because he was such a warm, gentle, compassionate soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownian Motion Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I voted for Pops too. I could imagine his birthday becoming another summer holiday like the 4th of July, with picnics and cookouts and fireworks. Can't quite imagine that with Bird or Prez.

Tjazz Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I was going to vote for Armstrong, but then I thought Ellington was more serious. Guess Pops would have fun. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
