Im sorry perhaps i came accross too strongly on my view. Its just, you see that i play jazz, and any time i play his music it gives me so much energy and i understand the feeling he must of had when he performed his music. However i am also an avid listener of Bud Freeman and i respect his musical ability. I play sax and clarinet. I play quite a bit of Benny Goodman, but you know i think he was so overrated at the time that now his music almost seems mediocre compared to other musicians. I like that era of jazz also from the 30's and also bebop in the 50's. Do you play any jazz yourself???????
