Very good Schubert. Truth is that I can be very stubborn; just ask my wife 😊. I assure you that my Dogged Persistence is sincere inasmuch as my idea of the purpose of a thread like this goes. Beyond that, and on a more selfish note, I like words; and, English being a second language, I appreciate an opportunity to improve my use of it. As I grow older and contemplate doing something else with my time, well...who knows? Regards.

Came across this article about a most interesting study. In some subtle ways (well, perhaps not so subtle depending on one's point of view) the study touches on some of the issues frequently and hotly debated on this thread.

I feel that big bands have gotten short shrift on this thread. This is probably my favorite of them all; amazing sense of swing, tightness and subtley. The article in my previous post refers to jazz players "trading fours". For anyone who cares, in the first tune of this clip the members of Basie's brass section trade fours. What a band! Check out the interaction between Basie and Sonny Payne (drums) in the opening tune; amazing. Enjoy. [URL]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TgtU0FKHBzQ[/URL] C'mon in Rok, the water is fine!
