.....I can honestly say that I don't know any jazz players, at least in the crowd that I do know which is pretty extensive, that likes BM's playing. In fact his name is hardly mentioned. I realize that is not a reason for me not to appreciate his work. I chose not to on my very own. There is also a generational difference in how jazzers act now as opposed to how they were in my salad days. I think Rick's post about dissing other cats was much more prevalent years ago, in fact guys like Miles and Lester Bowie were pretty decent examples. It doesn't happen as much now in public as it used to. It happened a lot years ago including on the stage and in the mags like Down Beat and Metronome. I also know some critics who write one thing for publication and say other things in private. Maybe the cats are nicer now but I also know that it's harder to get a gig if you say too much about other players.I don't think there's anything wrong in expressing a negative opinion. It doesn't preclude others from digging the player that you don't dig. Besides that, I posted that email because there was no jazz chatter happening on this site at the time and it did get something going. Maybe it's madness but it did stir the pot!
Respectfully?
