Well, I was trying really hard to come up with a tactful way of pointing out that there are qwacks in every profession, but after re-reading the McCoy “review” and it’s source I am breathing a sigh of relief. I have known many music professors over the years and while some were better than others, none have been qwacks; although, I’m sure they are out there. I am relieved because the “reviewer” is not a professor at all; he is simply an idiot. The first hint was his misuse of the term “accords”. Huh?! While he tries real hard, the way he writes about music and musicians is not the way a knowledgeable music professor would. Sealing the deal is the simple fact that he never says he is a professor. He only comments about what he thinks music professors would think about McCoy’s playing and he is dead wrong with his assumptions.
His comments about McCoy are ill-informed and mostly ridiculous; so, not much more to say about it. If he can’t hear the beauty and elegance (to use his term) in McCoy’s playing he is worse than an idiot:
