Hi, there, "VideoTrack"...

I really appreciate your comments.

I agree with you on your point about "an era of marvelous music" as presented and performed by musicians such as Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Smith, and countless others in the "jazz" idiom".

What "jazz" means to me most is freedom of expression, but tempered by discipline. In their solos, each performer may improvise to the limits of their musical imagination, but after his/her "flight" is over, each one agrees to "do their part" to send the next soloist aloft.

You might say their combined efforts are a fine example of pure democracy at work!

Thanks, "VideoTrack", for your complementary insights. I hope you enjoyed your second listen!

Sincerely,

LOREN
