Teasing the Korean Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 "...In 1965, at the Village Vanguard, a child was born. In almost a decade that has elapsed, his cries have been heard and received with elation wherever true jazz has been heard. Never has a youngster been more prodigious in his ability to communicate in the universal language of music. I would like to believe that the recordings of this orchestra will find their way into every library of music, every college music department, every connoisseur's collection, whether he grew on Basie or Brubeck or the Beatles or Herbie Hancock. There just aren't any greater sounds being created by any musical organization. "Am I overextending myself in my praise? Listening to these four sides you will be convinced that if anything the case is being understated." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band made its public debut at the Village Vanguard on Feb. 7, 1966, though it is true that rehearsals began in late 1965 in a rehearsal studio in Manhattan. What's the source of the quote, please? Edited October 23, 2021 by Mark Stryker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they served it with hash browns, and that tabasco or sriracha were available as condiments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 See, I don't trust Leonard Feather to tell a true story, with facts and stuff. I think he's no above making shit up, of you know what I mean. So let's get him or his people up here on the horn RIGHT NOW and demand further exculpitation. In other words, put up or shut up, Feather. You might fool some, but not all, and not about your alleged Vanguard Baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
