For MD to say or imply, seriously or facetiously, that MJQ messed up
Percy Heath's playing indicates to me that MD is/was even more of an
egotistical moron that I previously thought. Percy Heath is one of the
dozen or so best bassists of 20th century jazz. There has probably not
been a more musically acomplished quartet in the history of 20th century
jazz than MJQ. There has probably not been a more highly over-rated
jazz musician in the 20th century than MD.
