Re: The most 'influential' jazz albums
OK I'm open to your contention. So can you name one other time when something similar to the Coltrane changes were implemented to any one style's musical canon?
As for the launch pad thing, I...

Re: The most 'influential' jazz albums
I would contend they became known as the Coltrane changes because he was the only one doing that kind of thing on that high level for any length of time.
Can anyone here name one other...

Re: Are we too hard on people around here?
For the most part, drum forums are softer now than they were 7-8 years ago. For about six years (2003 to 2009) they were one very personal blood bath after another, meaning if someone complains now I...

Re: ...for the jazz cats ...
Being as this is a jazz related thing, I wanted to announce that yesterday my dad Tom Smith was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Education Hall of Fame as the only inductee for 2013. Pretty cool.
