I've been keeping Whitney Balliett's collected writing by the bedside. It's interesting to watch his position on Roach shift over the years, from admiring annoyance with his "typewriter insistence," to reverence for a continuously-evolving elder statesman. Here's a snippet from 1990: imgur.com...

I find the drink of the house, Stork's Hoochie Coochie Libation, to be altogether lacking in both Hoochie AND Coochie.

How about a double, on the house, just so that I might be absolutly certain?

@adandoesit-read Balliett a bit back in the day, used to see some of his writing in The New Yorker. My recollection of him (which may be off) was that he was not interested in jazz's movement after The Swing Era, and disliked it. Most of my Jazz Criticism reading back in those days was Gary Giddens; later Ben Ratliff.

Doctorjazz, there's something to that about WB. The spaciousness, concision, and tone of the great swing musicians, he tends to find lacking in the denser and harder (post-)modernists. Otoh, he digs and advertises the artfulness of progressives as varied as Mingus, Ornette, and Steve Lacy. I think the general trend of his writing is to get his snoots slowly out of the air as he gets older… an admirable aspiration for anyone.

I've listened from the beginning, and contra your opening remarks, I have not been displeased. Of course we recognize that we're all doing other things part of the time we're listening; comes with the territory of DJing.

adam, that drink reminds me of when i was 14-15 witnessing older siblings punished for watering down the liquor bottles. "you steal my liquor then you ruin it!". totally valid of course.
my father had more bottles of liquors, liqueurs, mixers than a dive bar...
so i decided i'll take such a small amount of each he wont notice, and i wont ruin them.
i filled up 2.5 quart bottles. one was slightly orangey, one slightly minty. one was...something else.
got us drunk.

Do NOT get me started about Ken Burn's Jazz (doc). Suffice it to say that I produced a marathon premium for WFMU about 20 years ago. I called it "Jazz Burns Ken."

The main criticism, if I remember (overall, not Doug's), was that it was too polite, and ignored avant garde jazz, which are legitimate criticisms. But I still think he got people to check Jazz out, who had no clue it exists. I think that counts for a lot.

Doug Schulkind:

The vomitatious dreck spewed by Albert Murray, Stanley Crouch, and the Marsalises in the documentary did enormous damage. Burns allowed himself to get suckered. Those three main talking heads over the course of the 19-hour film impose the most rigid, exclusive orthodoxy. And Wynton does it while espousing that jazz is the most "democratic" of enterprises. The oppposite-is-true flim-flammery is positively Trumpian.

But, Doug, do you have feelings about it?
My general take on music documentaries-the talking heads are just likely to be a waste of time. How much I like a doc is completely related to the radio of music to talk. The higher the ratio, the more I like it.
