Just had a telegramme from Dr Dominic Kojo.....saying...."I know very little of jazz beyond the work of Thad Jones/Mel Lewis. However, that is not what concerns us here.... Massarikanism ¬¬`<;*^^¬¬3£tapasBill*x..."

Jack Massarik is an egregious hack.

As King Kennytone himself sez:

My views on this kind of thing are well known.

BTW I don't suppose anyone has a recording of that episode of JLU where dear ol' Jack let that one slip?

<thanks>

The JLU programme with Massarik's notorious "torrent of hate" outburst must have been broadcast towards the end of 2006. Here's my letter which appeared in Richard Cook's 'Jazz Review'(DEC/JAN 2007):

"I was amazed and delighted to hear a piece by John Coltrane with Rashied Ali from their 1967 album 'Expression' on Radio 3's usually conservative Jazz Line-Up recently. Unfortunately, a sour note was struck by their regular guest commentator, Jack Massarik, who could be heard muttering "torrent of hate" when the track finished. Surely Jazz Line-Up could find a less reactionary critic for their jazz discussin slot?"
