Of course, "standards" have enduring appeal and are widely known and performed. They are not the retread, worn out tires described by these writers. Long after the songs hit the charts, they are continually performed, making them Standards. What's wrong with being a standard-bearer highlighting great arrangements, some well-known and others more obscure? Why does Nate refer to the "grab-bag" mentality, instead of orchestral precision, and Will mock last year's novel rendition of Rhapsody In Blue (he can't spell Fred Flintstone). Strayhorn inverted the thematic material of Rhapsody In Blue, creating different effects, in the same ingenious manner that Marcus Roberts did. The only thing the two critics agree upon is that the populace was greatly impressed and the venues packed. Maybe they'll take a hint. G.
