Again we do not disagree
My perspective is that my musical taste is classical jazz blues reggae pop baroque folk choral.
My tastes are eclectic and I love it all.
I love barbeque I love burgers I love cordon bleu I love hearty farmhouse meals and party food.
Strawberries are a wonderful end to a meal but I would not eat strawberries all the day long.
I love modern instruments I love ancient instruments I love a sprinkling of Cornetto amongst a diet of more modern fare.
My own experience shows that BIX can stand as an equal next to Chuck Berry or BB King or Black Sabbath
I am quite happy with a mix of all styles without needing 3 hours of BIX on his own.
But you know a sprinkling of BIX among more contemporary music sounds wonderful and yes I dare to say it, a medley of blues jazz rock pop and choral sounds great to audiences.
Yesterday I played a 1925 BIX composition on a period trumpet from 1924 with a period mouthpiece from 1892 and it was totally loved.
And I do believe that if I had played a Serpent or a Shawm or a Cornetto that would have been loved just as much as any 2022 acoustic guitar.
It is not what you do it is the way that you do it, thats what gets results.
