Correction "they choose you".
Damn, I obviously skipped Rok’s English Class.
Jazz for aficionados
True, mary_jo. I try and not lose sight of the humor of it all. And, you’re right, “cosa nostra” is actually a good analogy. The one who wants to be the capo de tutti capos the most is the one who demands the most “respect”, claims the most “authority” and is often the most “devout” Christian and Church goer; and yet is the one quickest to order the hits on those who he knows are on to him 🤫 https://youtu.be/2X9E9n6GHC8 |
Mosaic Boxed Sets: 9 CD set of Mingus!!! I imagine 6000 alternate takes, plus all the music I already have, plus tons of perfunctory stuff that Mingus never meant to see the light of day. I am sure there are a few gems I don't have, but I have most of what the unwashed has declared to be essential. The unwashed: that would be us aficionados. The same reason I don't have the 7 CD Sonny Rollins set, which I really wanted, or the Coltrane Heavyweight Champion set. I already had the individual CDs. Cheers |
