I've heard about him. But I don't recal ever listening to him seriously. I don't know if it'd be that odd for me. I have a deep appreciation for all styles of...
I have to admit I don't own anything he did as a leader. He's probably best known for his work as a sideman with Goodman and Holiday in the 30s; however I ...
I think there are different kinds of virtuosity in music. Tatum, Peterson, and Monk are all instantly recognizable and all are different kinds of virtuosos....
I copied this address of a page on the cdnow.com website. They've got 1000s of albums, most of which give you a 60 sec preview clip. The following mat take you...
I know were you're coming from. I think of virtuosity more in terms of being able to completely control the instrument. But there are infinatly many more ways...

Up until 1955 or so, at least 75% of the records sold in the U.S. were Jazz records. Then that redneck non-musician Elvis the Pelvis released "That's Alright...
Pop stars? Artistry? In the same sentence? One problem the artist in any field has is making a living without selling out too much. Unless you're Miles or...
