I wish the software was better and had more options. The second quiz took 5 hours and 4 of that was layout. I can't even directly save a picture of the puzzle! I'm manipulating html files and taking screen shots and editing those! Getting more interconnects may be possible if I let the program take a long time to compute. 37? I think there are 25 questions. I'm happy to give hints.

Sorry. I have to agree. After six hours I can't answer the questions. All the answers are the 'first' (or nickname) & last names with no space. Anagrams, riddles, facts of their lives or names, dates and just silliness are the clues.

Jazz crossword puzzle 2

Jim R, I'm VERY impressed that you did so well! It also means that the puzzle was not awful. You got one of the technical terms but missed the other. (hint) That is all you got wrong! That's actually an easy one so someone else will know it. I'm really impressed you got the fishy one. Thanks, T.D. I'll see if I can learn from the article and do another puzzle. After all, there are two more bass players with ornithological surnames :-)

Thank you! I'm open to suggestions on how to improve the clues or other aspects. I don't do crosswords and hope I'm following the 'rules'.

Thought I'd make a jazz crossword puzzle. Downloaded a free puzzle maker. This is my first attempt.

Someone gave me that book a month ago. Also 'Walking Tall' a Cannonball Adderley bio.

I remember when 'Tough Talk' came on the radio. I really enjoyed that piece. RIP Joe Sample.

Thank you, sgcim

Anyone see the bandwagon? I want to jump on.

Why did he think he would get away with this? Many contractors scam but this is so obvious. Guess his previous scams made him quite arrogant.

www.cannonball-adderley.com/ Darn. Can't delete, can't edit topic.

Thank you for posting the article. Somehow I never really listened to him. That will change.

Dave Austin in San Francisco is a fine jazz pianist.

Some very nice jazz musicians I never met so can not include them (Dave Brubeck...) Barry Harris Bob Neloms Han Bennink Michael Moore Don Raffell Steve Bohannon Albert Stinson Berend van den Berg Clarence Becton David Austin Hans Mantel Harvey Robb Jay Corre Larry Porter Nick Kirgo Nolan Indecks Norman Rosen Irv Rocklin Richard Saunders Robert Duis Seth Asarnow Walter Lampe Norman Williams David Parker Sam Cady and some people (or names) I just can not recall just now I like the idea of this thread.

Not the most flattering picture of Lucy Liu.

Thanks for the link, fasstrack.

Glad I read it.

What the hell are you talking about. You want a sandwich?

I love Bill Evan's blues playing on 'Jazz at the Plaza'. It reminds me of Teddy Wilson's 1938 solo on 'Sing, Sing, Sing'. A breath of fresh air after all the huffing & puffing before it :-) Logical, concise, beautiful, very swinging, and original.

Crouch interviewed a LOT of people who knew Bird. Although edited, what they had to say is in the book.

Finished the book today. Glad I read it. I 'know' a little more about Bird and his times.

I have a pdf of the book and am reading it in 30-45 minute bouts. It makes me tired and my mind drifts. I will make it to the end. After all, the book is about Bird (allegedly). Chapter 6 as of yesterday.

"Get The Fantastic Frank Strozier, with Booker, Wynton K, Paul Chambers & Jimmy Cobb." !Definitely!
