Dear Calvin,
I appreciated Your erudite analysis on Acid Jazz,and i apologize
if my emails took Your time to read the others,surely more interesting than
mine.
All I did it was to say in a friendly way(that was my intention)
"hey mates let's talk about Jill,the way we did with Maxwell or Sade or
D'Angelo."
Not only about them , i totally agree with Your point of view about
the several channels to the soul of AcidJazz and on the purposes of this list!
And I love to play with the pitch slides or what else is related to
music, or reading about
sitar chords or theremins.
I'm from Italy,american english is not my language,and i have
little time to share
with u friends on this list.
I'd love to write more to this list,contribute in a more active way,
but as u can imagine It's easier to read from you than write for myself.
I guessed that Jill's Experience was arrived in Italy later than in US,
so I was curious about all of Your opinions about her work,imagining
that You had more time to hear it.
I only bought it three days ago.
Instead I was first gently reproached by someone about the fact
that Jill Scott
was'nt an acidjazz artist.(Strictly speaking)
I knew from myself but it seemed to me that few
months ago her name was often present on this list.
I was surprised to read nothing about her from some of u,
couse it seemed to me it was a great and truly work.
Then I was treated in a certain cold (snob)and little bit
professioral way by you
and someone else.
I guess it would have been more simple if you wrote me about what
u thinked
of Jill's work.
My actual feel about it, is that the famous "open mind" U talk
about the multiple aspects of this list it's not present among You
SuperGurus,when it comes to have relation with someone that does'nt thinks
exactly like u or the way you like .
But don't worry I'm gonna unsubscribe right today.
Thanks again for Your time and compliments for your interview to
Gilles and for having dj'ed with Eddie.(Wov I mailed to a celebrity!)
