Enough!

[Don Petter]

DP, I know little about Jazz, Big Band or otherwise, and some of those noises give no delight and hurt. I confess that when John Lee Hooker's "I gotta go to Vietnam" started I thought there was something wrong with the tuning of the band.
That will probably bring down ire upon my head.

I hasten to add that I am not suggesting that I am, or Caliban is, unsympathetic to jazz, big band or otherwise, but he had been trying to identify a jazz percussion instrument with many 'twangling' strips, so that he could perhaps avoid it in the future.

Yes indeed, and as a trombonist I have something of a Big Band record (my contributions were criminal...). I love swing. I hate wind chimes though

John lee Hooker was an harmolodic practitioner when Ornette was in short trousers ....
