Double Bass The Truth About John Coltrane

[DJ Bebop]

George danced better than Coltrane.


I think we can all agree on this.

“Oh I don't know, my days as an interpretive jazz dancer was overlooked in some circles.”

I shouldn’t have said “broad appeal” as that is a concept that doesn’t belong in any analysis of jazz conducted after about 1968.

Replace “has broad appeal” with “is useful other than as a teaching tool or an exploration of the limits.” I think Trane himself would agree with my second characterization.

So the question is whether a given person is entertained or satisfied by listening to a guy explore the limits by playing extremely long solos that don’t materially develop the initial idea. Some people do like that, and it’s fine. I’d rather listen to someone tell a story.

As for my “insecurities” - I’ve got insecurities, more than you know. Not about this idea though.

What do you mean "useful"?

I used to think this until I learned how to play some bebop. My ears got way bigger. Nothing about Bill Evans was haphazard.

I’ve played lots of jazz and my father was a respected jazz pianist. Listened to lots of Joe Pass, Art Tatum (like him more so), Dick Hyman, Dave McKenna, Errol Garner, Oliver Jones, Oscar Peterson ( like him too somewhat), Ed Bickert and many more. Alas I recall seeing a poll that said Jazz is the least popular music style in the world. Ukrainian thumb piano has more fans
