Dear Rainer,

Considering that it is universally acclaimed as a masterpiece,  is the 
top selling jazz record
of all time and probably the most influential one as well,  I'd be 
curious to hear your
reasons for claiming it is one of the most overrated works in music  
(don't worry, we'll wait
to later about your pronouncements about Mozart, Strauss , Reinhardt 
and  Jarrett...........lol)

  I don't agree with you because I truly love this record
and consider it to be my one desert island jazz record if I could only 
take one (and a battery
powered record player with unlimited batteries................<chuckle)
but I don't mind at all that you feel this way.

It would just be nice to hear your actual reasons for saying such a thing.

respectfully,  Rick
