randissimo Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Hey Eric, I have been enjoying all of the exchanges on this thread.. Very provocative indeed! By the way, we should put our heads together and figure out a way to get Organissimo a gig in TC. I'll be at 310 this Saturday playing for Dave Chown's CD release party.. Stop by if you get a minute... Ah Randy. Always pushin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 I just had the opportunity to read through this thread from start to finish. What a blast! Better than any novel of the last few years! Seriously, Jim S., you should take it upon yourself to start writing down your perspectives on jazz in a more organized manner. How about couple books? I sense the potential for some real classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Thanks, but no thanks. If I do it on purpose, then it becomes "professional", and a "professional writer" is something I have neither the talent for or the aspiration towards becoming. Get it here, while it happens. That's as real as I can keep it. OTOH, I read where liner notes are going for $350 on up, so hey, no sense being a purist about it, eh?

John L Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 (edited) Understood. In jazz, I feel that there is often a large gap between those who really understand it, with their teeth sunk in it so to speak, and those who can articulate it well in words, particularly to non-professionals. You would seem like an ideal candidate to bridge that gap. Maybe later in life you will change your mind.
