Upon listening to the taped submissions of the high school bands participating in the competition Sue and the other judges were surprised at the level of familiarity and sophistication the students?most born a decade after Mingus died?brought to the challenging music. ?I think it?s only a healthy sign that?s it?s [jazz] becoming much more available to kids students in schools?

Games Gavin is a no talent bum as a writer and should have never been allowed to own a pencil, deep in a nightmare is what Gavin was in when he decided to write this piece of crap, there are so many fabricated parts of this book that it is just not worth reading, One that comes to mind is the fairy tale story about my father having homosexual experiences. This is so fare from the truth it’s pathetic. in all of the stories written about Chet over the years there has never been such a claim made, and in fact anyone who really new Chet knows this is bullshit, fabricated by a real homosexual trying to get closer to my father’s greatness by inducting him into this lifestyle with this huge lie. My father was a beautiful gifted soul that deserves to be remembered the way he rely was. He was a true romantic married three times with four children. The truth is he was not a perfect soul but was not the fictitious character in this so called book either. James Gavin also had the nerve to put in print that my mother had my father murdered for insurance money, what insurance. My mother is also a beautiful person who loved my father to the end and deserves to be remembered as the love of his life. I am also writing a book, James Gavin and others mainly in the music business will be mentioned as the losers and thieves that they are.
