I saw a commercial for a new movie, "Kill Bill". Anyway, the background music was Al Hirt playing the old tract from the "Green Hornet" TV show. Al Hirt is my second favorite trumpeter next to the Chairman of the Board, Mr. Herb. To me Al Hirt was one of the best jazz trumpeters ever but he commitied the big Mortal Sin. He played commercial and made a gazillian dollars. I have some early recordings of Al Hirt and he could have fried Arturo Sanduval's clock who is tied for my third favorite next to Doc. But what I like are musicians that are open and "tollerant" to all styles of music which just burns the elitest classical & Jazz musicians because if you don't think the way they do you are a "sell out".
