Jazz for aficionados

Hmmmm.....I’ll have to check on that.  I hate owing money.

Hey what about me? Ain't I entitled to a "Henchman" check as well?

Been looking at gangsters,so excuse me if I talk like one. I'm thinking about quitting this mob; first you argue with me but you give no evidence of your side of the argument, just some flimsy nothing and I throw in the towel, now you give me badly recorded music that's not really all that hot. Big time people can sometime make small time music.

What's the benefit of being in this mob? Alex was the last member to submit good music, although Alice Coltrane was OK, but that last thing that Acman submitted was out to lunch.

In regard to that argument, it's like somebody tore some pages out of a book, cause it ain't there, and you guys coming up with some "Wack" don't change nothing.

I read books that were hundreds of years old, they were about the slave trade in Africa written by the slave traders themselves, they told of things too gruesome to repeat; these were eyewitness accounts, now those books are missing; they're just like Captain Willards mission in the movie "Apocalypse Now" it never existed, and now those books never existed.

The descendants of the people who got very rich off the slave trade are still around living large in Africa; their ancestors names were mentioned, the slave trade was no fairy tale, it happened; while these people had nothing to do with the slave trade, they're enjoying the profits they're ancestors made. Could they have had something to do with the vanishing books?

I know the fact that many jazz musicians are descendants of slaves is unimportant to you, but if you were a descendant of slaves you might want to know something about what happened a long time ago. In regard to what happened in this country, Alexander Haley's "Roots" is the "only" account that begins at the shore of the Atlantic Ocean when the slaves "debarked", and follows their history to the relative present. It seems that there are some pages missing in the history books here.

I realize some people have a writing handicap, but maybe now is the time to attempt to do something about it.

I did not want this subject to come to this but since you insist.

I am a student of history. I read books. Yes there are bad authors and good authors. Good authors always have a notes section which reveal their sources for each chapter.

I am a member of a few history forums and a couple of military history forums. To start a thread on these forums you would do wise to have self knowledge backed up by legitimate sources to answer the feedback. If you answer with opinions and no reliable sources the forum members will eat you alive.

There are 3 types of sources

1. Primary

2. Secondary

3. Tertiary

Your source is YOUR OPINION.

You would not last a month on these forums.

This is not that type of forum yet you insist on treating it as such.

You are the OP of this forum which started out as a jazz aficionado forum yet you have drifted into the realm of a historical forum with claims of historical "facts".

You have continuously claimed that scholarly historian authors have "re written" their own opinionated versions as fact yet you give no sources for your own "opinionated comments/diatribe" to back up your claims.

You over stepped the boundaries of your own thread when you asked members to site sources of their opinions when you have yet to do so yourself. If you want a war then go to a jazz history forum, if there is one, that has a thread about "African influences in the western hemisphere".

With all due respect you should cease your rhetoric and start posting jazz music and not "jazz revisionism"

Just ran across an oldie. A Concord CD Tour De Force. Scott Hamilton, Al Cohn, et al. Live in Japan. Nice.
