Tribute to...

["Keith Freeman" <keith.freeman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that many tributes are not as interesting as the 'originals', but that's not always 
the case. To give a couple of examples from my own collection: Tierney Sutton's tribute 
to Bill Evans is a fabulous album, certainly of the same quality as Bill Evans' own work, 
and I actually prefer Joshua Breakstone's playing on his Grant Green tribute to GG's 
own work. I do find most modern blues players less exciting than the 50s ones, though 
the samples of Dennis Gruenling I listened to recaptured that old excitement, I felt.
