O-10:
There is some very good "Soul Jazz" tunes by some big time players. There was a time when it seemed as if every player had to have a "HIT" that was popular with the non-Jazz public. Mainly 'singles', on 45rpm.. I just didn't think this particular tune was that good. Esp considering the line up. If Morgan had been Leader, things might have been different.
Remember when you could go into a bar and play Jazz on the juke box? A lot of that was what I would call Soul Jazz.
I did not take your comments as a criticism of me. First of all, you never criticize people. Secondly, I am beyond criticism! :)
The singing on 'Carol of the Bells' is awesome. Esp the tenors. There is nothing better than good singing.
Cheers
