Conversation in the car...
--Are there any French horn solos on this? [Miles Davis' "Birth of the Cool]
--I don't think so. I think it's Gunther Schuller playing. He's not really a jazz player...
--No, I think it's Julius Watkins.
With what twelve-year old would such a conversation be possible? I asked myself coming in from the car. Then the obvious answer: with MY twelve-year old. Where did she even hear of Julius Watkins, who is a jazz French horn player but is not in fact on BOTC?
Children absorb a lot from their parents, I guess.
I guess this means that in your family you date the birth of the cool from 12 years ago.
