    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!)
