Oh! Goodness me. First of all, I cancel the word "insult" you used in your email doshbass. This is meant to be a fun chat, not fighting or arguing. Jazz music means spontaneity, fun and friendship to us. The brilliant cats you mentioned above that got you into jazz are mine and they will forever be mine( Femi and Micheal). This is where we get things wrong as human beings. It could have been very well appreciated if you'd been polite in your previous mail, as i am a very down to earth and well laid back human being. However, i don't count on that, what i count on is the friendship and electrifying spirit of music, that magnetizes musicians together.

With humility, i am not a kid when we talk about "Jazz Music". I know the differences between Agbo, Micheal, Femi, Akin, Lekan. As a jazz enthusiast, i was appreciating the works of these guys and where they have taken strings to. Femi Temowo is a musician that i will forever talk about, likewise Micheal. I know what they've gone through when it comes to jazz music. I know the syllabus they've faced for them to have that knowledge of jazz, It's not easy!

So Doshbass, if you go back to reading my post again, you will surely know you've misinterpreted my post. I'd like you to read it again and get what i was trying to point out. You said, "well these guys are not known in Nigerian Community". I know they are going to be among the leaders and Pioneers of Modern jazz in Africa in few years to come.

Why is South-African Jazz growing everyday? I look forward to an answer from you. After that, i will say something about your post.

But let this be the first thing on our mind, when we think, talk, and play music; "Friendship and Fun".

I would like to know you better. My email address is in ma profile. I think i have a rough idea of whom this would be.

Regards.
