==========================
I've just played a few of the better Kirk sides, and they don't move me 
at all, Wilson or any of the other soloists. The band is too "tight", 
and I don't mean in the musical sense, but being unbending rhythmically. 
inflexible.

A couple of tenor players I have an affection for are Henry Hagemann, 
who plays on the Danish Jam Session with Asmussen and Oscar Aleman 
(1938), kinda "rootie-tootie", and Jascha Trabsky, who I believe was 
Russian, who's on the Freddy Johnson-Lex Van Spall sides of 1934. He's a 
"swashbuckler"! In fact, everyone plays well on this session.
