The place should be declared a Federal Disaster area by Bush.
This is the list of Top 20 (I guess) Jazz artists that are now listed in Alphabetical order.
I wouldn't include close to half of these in an overall top 20.
Cannonball Adderley
Chet Baker
Art Blakey
Anthony Braxton
Clifford Brown
Charlie Christian
Chick Corea
Bill Evans
Benny Goodman
Coleman Hawkins
Billie Holiday
Bobby Hutcherson
Charles Mingus
Anita O'Day
Charlie Parker
Art Pepper
Bud Powell
Art Tatum
Cecil Taylor
Cal Tjader
How do you make a list of the Top overall jazz musicians and not include once again in Alphabetical order?
Louis Armstrong
Count Basie
Sidney Bechet
John Coltrane
Miles Davis
Duke Ellington
Dizzy Gillespie
Thelonious Monk
Max Roach
Sonny Rollins
Lester Young
You have to go to other pages to find a full list that include these others.
This list is like not including The Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, etc... on a Rock list.
I wonder if the above list has anything to do with
Scott Yanow not being one of those listed in the
Writer's Bloc section. Even though he is their major editor/writer in the Jazz Guides that have been published.
