    P.S. to list: was anyone else *really* disappointed with the final episode
    of Jazz on PBS last night?

    Yes!!!
    I am going to order the entire series for my own personal viewing if it is
    made available.

    I was really blown away by the Upright Acoustic Bass Playing of Ron Carter
    that was briefly shown. Damn!!! that was like Buffalo's getting frisky with
    one another on the prairie carnally that is!!! I have to go shopping!!!

    I am glad to see this series aired and I learn a great deal but I also felt
    things were left out or ignored or biased, I dunno, I can't complain too
    much because it is better than nothing, Capisci?

    Personally, Where was Al Di Meola in the scheme of things? I love his work
    and maybe it just wasn't traditional enough to be mentioned. I think the
    modern genre if you want to call it that of Acid Jazz was ignored. I think
    those sterotypical, for lack of a better word, classically trained Jazz
    Artist and Critics alike ignore Acid Jazz. Maybe it is that I reside in an
    area where people have no clue to Acid Jazz and I am a little dissapointed.
    I am perplexed and I digress. I will be checking out Ron Carter's catalog
    though so that ends this on a positive note which is important. Happy
    Trails!!!!

    Semper Motociclismo,

    Pace'
