I can't help but feel energized about jazz and music in general after listening to this show. As always, the outsiders perspective helps us look at something like jazz from a new angle. Listening to Alain and Chris talk like giddy teenagers about jazz, reminds me of the fist time I started to understand Miles Davis and John Coltrane.. The jazz tune I always get giddy talking about is Countdown by John Coltrane. I think of it as the punk rock jazz song. There is so much energy coming out of Coltrane, I think might blow up my radio. Its so raw and intense I just want to smash a guitar or something every time I listen to it. Great, great stuff guys. Wow, I just listened to the podcast today.

Chris, when are you going to have Alain Pacowski back to continue on from Miles D? Soon, I hope. I have just heard spoken jazz!

I agree with all those who thought it was a great show, and while it barely scratched the surface, I liked Chris’s statement to the effect that “Jazz is the best export America has to offer”. To do the topic justice would take at least 10 or more shows. I was moved by Alain’s melodious accent, modulation and the enthusiasm he projected. It was as if he were riffing off Chris’s questions a la Johnny Hodges (a pregnant pause then Alain leaps in with a mellifluous solo. I enjoyed listening to his tone while extolling the virtues of jazz as much as I enjoyed the content of his commentary. I look forward to hearing more.

Wonderful. Anyone who wants to hear examples of the intersection of the Blues and Jazz should check out Ellington's "Blues in Orbit". It's one of the greatest albums ever, and underrated. Hodges is great here. Also check out Dinah Washington's "Back to the Blues". Blues isn't always a lone man playing a guitar; it's a way of playing everything. Just caught the show the next day.

Alain, your vast knowledge and love of jazz shined through. A great historical overview showing the influence of American jazz on France and your family, in particular.
