BillF Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 A few years ago there was an item on Welsh television about why so many black American jazz musicians have Welsh surnames. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 and of course Bill Evans and Gil Evans really were of (at least part) Welsh descent. It's an interesting theory that it added to the lyricism of their music, perhaps? Daffs are out in bloom in the front garden, even though a hurricane is blowing. Quote
BillF Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) A few years ago there was an item on Welsh television about why so many black American jazz musicians have Welsh surnames. I'm afraid the answer lies in the origins of slave owners and the naming of emancipated slaves. I went to a Max Roach gig in the late sixties when he harangued the English audience, making just this point about the English surnames of his musicians (Tolliver, Pope, Cowell and Merritt).

street singer Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) I'm still working my way through the Hodges set. About halfway through it at this point, enjoying every minute of it. I'm trying to savor it a bit by enjoying it one session at a time...one disc every couple of days. Don't sleep on this set - if you don't have it, get it now! After this set I'll dive into the Venuti/Lang set. Have sampled some of the tracks from the first disc and am really looking forward to it... Edited March 1, 2008 by street singer Quote
