My wife and I attended the Blue Note 75th Anniversary Concert last weekend at the Kennedy Center in DC. The night was filled with some amazing jazz as you can imagine, but there was one artist that was particularly cool. Lou Donaldson, 87 years young, introduced his band as follows:
"We play straight ahead jazz. Let there be no confusion, we don't play fusion. We don't play Kenny G or Spyra Gyra, JUST STRAIGHT AHEAD JAZZ."
This guy walked the walk let me tell you. His set was pure straight ahead jazz.
Thought any jazz purists out there would appreciate this.
