Ken Dryden Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 I came across this blooper in an NPR podcast transcription about Art Tatum: He also unfluenced Benny Carter, Johnny Hodges, John Coltrane... all of these musicians that said they came out of Tatum.

T.D. Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 I believe in proofreading, but it seems to have become rare. These days, I would not expect a podcast transcription to be carefully proofread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 I would suspect that transcribing podcasts is not be done by humans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 You should watch Closed Captioning on TV... 4 hours ago, Ken Dryden said: He also unfluenced Benny Carter, Johnny Hodges, John Coltrane... all of these musicians that said they came out of Tatum. "unfluenced" = giving birth to, thus them coming out of him. What nobody talks about is all the afterbirths. But there they were!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 (edited) My favorite blooper was in Ben Sidran’s book of interviews. Denny Zeitlln was misspelled Zeitland throughout the chapter. Obviously Sidran didn’t review the galleys too carefully and I’m sure that he didn’t do the transcribing.

Ken Dryden Posted April 12 Author Report Share Posted April 12 Damned tiny fonts...but a bulletin board isn't the same as printing a hardback book with a glaring error. This happens on my phone all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
