  • Next time PBS or other 'public' broadcast entity tries to tell us Ken Burns is some kind of saint, think about Paul Gonsalves here, on sax; think about Juan Tizol, who wrote the tune, and think about Tito Puente, along with others who didn't get a peep about latin americans' contribution to the jazz art form in his 7-part series entitled "Jazz."

  • @GeorgeHarrysSon I do think about Juan Tizoi - who also wrote Caravan I believe. .... And I met Tito Puente in 1987, I was standing behind him booking into the same hotelI I actually played on the same bill as him that night - he had Celia Cruz on vocals and her old man was also in the band ..... Unforgettable ........

    ... Who is Ken Burns by the way?

  • "You're so hip - we just don't dare"

    Ha! I love it.

  • He was called the Duke for a reason:

    Mammoth talent, a visionary with grace and wit. A CLASS ACT who took humble pride in his art, who treated all people with respect in the way he spoke and dressed, like his mama taught him.

    Now compare THIS art to the garbage that's being forced down our ears & tell me who shall remain 100 years from now.
