Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Tjader Addendum

Devra DoWrite, of eagle eye and encylopedic knowledge, adds information to the Rifftides item in the following exhibit about a good old Cal Tjader album wth Eugene Wright, Gerald Wiggins and Bill Douglass.

What was not mentioned was a small fact that gives “but of course” understanding to why “everything clicked” — Bill Douglass was Wig’s drummer and they’d been working together alot in the few years leading up to the Tjader recording.

To read all of Devra’s addendum and mild rebuke, go here. Hey, to paraphrase the deathless words of Steven Wright, you can’t know everything; where would you put it? I appreciate the clarification.
