Surely, you jest. Fat's Waller was a master musician and a virtuoso
pianist and organist, and an accomplished singer. I was quoting Milt
Jackson. I thought the story had relevance in light of Eugene Braig
IV's post.

Do you think that six chords music is necesseraly worse than more
complex music? To stay in jazz world, Fats Waller was a kind of six
chords player, and a show man. And he was great too! What I like in his
music is his sound and his swing. That's exactly what I find in Private
Musicke, much more than in any other ensemble of this kind. And about
so-called "latin american" way of strumming, just read Corbetta
instructions and try to play repico as he describes it...

After the Modern Jazz Quartet retired, Milt Jackson was interviewed.
During
the interview he complained that "some kid who only know six chords
makes
more in one night than we made in twenty years." Later an interviewer
asked
John Lewis about Milt Jackson's complaint. John Lewis replied, "I
thought we
made a good living. That's show business. We're musicians not show
people."
That's show business. There's no business like it.
