Re: Jazz, language, and transcribing

thanks so much Artie, it's tricky for me to recommend the earlier players people to as a lot the recordings are either hard to find or are poorly reproduced. I remember (in my younger Nanaimo days) being advised to get recordings from the 'less publicized' players/founders and either not being able to find anything on them OR, finding wacky knock-offs made by some obscure Italian label!Ha....anyways, am sending all of my students here to check things out.
Thanks to all of you for insights and advice~
Off to ITG all, see you in a few.
IJ over and out
PS- I got to hear hundreds of hours of Jack and Fats as a kid, thanks to Mom's piano playing and excellent record collection....
