Various Artists
THE YOUNG LIONS
Vee Jay / Suite Beat Records 1960 / 1986
Excellent notes by Cannonball Adderley, where he blasts everyone from wealthy teenage rockers, to Dick Clark and country music performers. He calls it the "Glorification of Mediocrity". I call it "firing for effect".
Notes: "Modern Jazz obviously cannot and will not stand still. Modern Jazz traditionalists must realize that the music of Bird is only a logical step wise development of that which had gone on before. Conversely, the avant-garde cannot expect basic stylistic changes to develop among mature players through artificial stimuli; for the hysterical cry for change tends to give sanctuary to charlatans." ---- Julian "Cannonball" Adderley
All written in 1960.
