Thanx for admitting me as a member of that wonderful website. Jazz is really the 20th century "classical" music. It's the most beautiful
expression of American culture. Thanx too for Benny's picture. The last
time I saw him, he was plenty drunk but plays like a god. The other
fellows musicians who played in the band looked at him just like he was

Put it this way: Jazz is a good barometer of freedom… In its beginnings, the United States of America spawned certain ideals of freedom and independence through which, eventually, jazz was evolved, and the music is so free that many people say it is the only unhampered, unhindered expression of complete freedom yet produced in this country.~~~Duke Ellington

I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It's time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time.
It's time for us to do it ourselves and tell it like it is~~
Hahahaha...Yeah, Diz you hit the nail on the head. Tell it like it is...
