I caught the tail end of the Benny Goodman story, and the start of the Gene Krupa...recorded Krupa. Between the two the Benny Goodman story is a better one in terms of movies, but, they both have GREAT music. To the point where I start thinking...if I get some horn players, some sax players...maybe I can do some of that stuff!!! I played a number of those tunes back in school with the Jazz Band - my favorite being Sing, Sing, Sing... Too bad TNTC only played it once - I would have recorded it!

Members ddeerreekk Posted August 5, 2008 Members Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yeah, I've seen it. I quite enjoyed it actually. If you like his solo stuff it really gives a lot of insight into how it all comes together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RumStik Posted August 5, 2008 Members Share Posted August 5, 2008 I've seen excepts of it, and it produced no desire in me to see the whole thing. I can watch a musician talking if it's straight instruction that's offered, but when they're talking about themselves and their work, I get annoyed with it in fairly short order. I'm much better off never seeing that side, and just enjoying their playing, if applicable. Have you ever seen any of Portnoy's DVD's? Anyone who thinks his playing is profusely pretentious should listen to him talk for about 3 minutes. Suddenly his playing takes on a more conservative color.

So, did you get a free pair of shoes to sample? p.s. I do appreciate how you handle advertising for him, you should be on his pay role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I sure did,not on the pay roll.I just think he has a great idea going and it's just a matter of time before it really takes off.Some of the biggest company's started in people's garages:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
