Hey Tony,
I'm not opening any more post by you are Chas. I just get depressed and have to take 5 or 6 Ativan and my doctor said that that isn't good for me to do.

Man I have a 40 year old album with a tune by Sonny Stitt called "Aries." It's a slow Jazz ballad. I like it as much as anything ever written. I've searched all over and can't find it. I thought you found it by another group and I wanted to compare it to the Stitt recording. Oh well. I wish every one could hear this sax ballad by an all time great.

124,
Check it out. No Sonny?

The story goes that a customer asked Zoot Simms how could he play with all of the drinking he did?
Zoot says, Practice, practice, practice.

If you are going to get depressed because the bar is so high in jazz, start listening to smooth jazz!

That will restore your faith in your own ability quite quickly!

Yea, Diki, you're right, but Smooth Jazz beats some of the alternatives...

And some of it is kinda fun to play!

Well, you've heard some that I was involved in, Russ, so I am as guilty as most in this regard..!

But if someone asks me to sit down and play some Oscar, or Herbie, well, I'd better be wearing brown pants and have a handy supply of Ativan!

Giants walk amongst us...
