When posting a link from youtube, one must remember that it should be preceded by the space character.

Sorry guys for that Warne Marsh blunder! And thanks Mat for the advice.

Hi Mat,Thanks for the technical expertise but not for allowing me to hear the track.
Sorry Stu - I just didn't like it- 3/10

[Mat]

Ok, I'll post the next one then:

Not bad Mat - I can live with the Harmonica when played so well 8/10.

7/10 for Mat. The harmonica was fine. Toots Thielemens is probably the only harmonica player I can appreciate in jazz. (Blues yes, but jazz hmmm!) However in this jazz context I prefer just the Bill Evans Trio.
9/10 for John, some fine Coltrane - in a hurry!
Here's another tenor - in a hurry!

I'm going to make a confession here.
When I first heard your offering stu, I thought, this Johnny Griffin sounds a bit like Ben Webster,
and then suddenly he turned into a mixture of Bird and Trane, and I turned it off.
And then I realised: I would have preferred it to remain Ben Webster, or Lester Young, or Coleman
Hawkins, or Don Byas, or Danny Moss, or Bob Cooper, or Buddy Tate, or Jim Tomlinson, or well- - -,
I guess you've got the point.
What it comes down to is that I'm just too old to change (79 in March), and although I've been
making an effort to understand bop and hardbop, its just became too much - I'm going back to
concentrate on the jazz I love. I give your offering 7/10 in my trial mode and about 3/10 in my resumed mode.

The following track is the essence, perhaps, of my return to normality.

Coleman Hawkins Body And Soul. One of the greatest versions by one of the greatest tenors! He virtually made that tune his very own!! 10/10

[stu]

Here's my choice. One of my favourite Stan Getz ballads.
