 Re: Woody Allen - standing ovation on clarinet ??

The original thrust of this thread refers to a review of a WA concert and a comparison (presumably) to a flawed WA performance as viewed on Youtube.

I think that this is somewhat unfair, because who of our correspondents, actually witnessed or heard any of this concert in order to make a fair comparison? All we really have is a selection of on-line videos of variable quality, ranging from the lowest (the one selected by GBK) to many others many of which I would describe as quite competent, in the context of the collective improvisatory performance criteria of a N.O. jazz ensemble.

WA is quoted as saying ''We will do our best to entertain you''. He did not go on to say (for example), that we will perform virtuoso solos, dance, juggle or wear funny clothes (as performance enhancers), and one assumes that none of this occurred.

So.......seemingly he kept his promise to entertain, otherwise he and the band, (I assume the audience would have been applauding the six or seven rather than just the one) would not have received a standing ovation. Why particularly would the audience have done this if they were not entertained?

There has been too much of this tendency to ''play the man'' (a pejorative Australian football descriptor) rather than treat the clarinet player Woody Allen, as a member of a collective performing ensemble, and judge him as such.
