A little humor at Wynton's expense

Remember this one? From http://www.allaboutjazz.com/journalists/primack4.htm - you have to scroll down to see the text.

We haven't had a Wynton related thread here for a while. Thanks so much Tom.

How nice of you, Tom, to bring back the trumped up Stepin Fetchit language of Primack's prose and think that that's funny.

The piece is old, like most of the arguments here.

Cheers,

Rob

Aw c'mon Rob ..lighten up!

it's a parody ..not Stepin Fetchit ( save the "feets don' fail me" line )

I especially liked the image of Crouch living in the closet with a Samurai sword handy

Well all know that's not the way Branford talks, and I find it offensive. He doesn't use a pidgeon form of English to speak.

Cheers,

Rob
