PS: If you really new Chas, you'd understand that he's not
afraid to discuss a controversial subject. He's also not trying to hurt anyone's feelings.
And, in my opinion, he's right more often than he's wrong.
Russ ... chas has made it quite evident over the years that he is not afraid of controversy, and yes, many times he is right in what he says ... and while he may not be 'trying' to hurt anyone's feelings, I think that one more than one occasion he has talked down about arranger players to the point of being insulting ...
As I said in my response to his post, I am not looking to win any awards, and I know my limitations as a musician, but I am proud of what I do and how I entertain the audiences I play for, and while they may not be as astute and critical as some jazz aficionados, they are not all NH patients who aren't aware of what's going on ...
And my kb isn't "self-playing" ... it accompanies me as I play ...
And I think it is unfortunate if someone puts him/herself in a position to be banned from this forum ...
Hopefully he has not been and will be posting soon ...
