  2. Όταν ο Dizzy έκανε cultural appropriation, οι συμπατριώτες του τρέφονταν ακόμα με βελανίδια.

  4. Woke Californian: “Cultural appropriation! Cancel hi… what are your pronous, sir?”

    Greeks: “Nice”

  10. Έχω αυτό το album! Είναι υπέροχο και το backstory είναι ενδιαφέρον

    >In March of 1956, bebop trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and his band embarked for Southern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia on the first U.S. State Department Jazz tour. The urgency to strengthen the image of America in the Mediterranean led him to Athens for a series of concerts. And Dizzy, with his spell-binding virtuosity, arresting solos, and egalitarian sensibilities buoyed by playful humor, won over a wide variety of audiences.Greeks had been rioting in Athens in May 1956, protesting America’s resolve to support the British in the struggle for Cyprus. Newspapers were asking why America was sending Jazz bands to Greece instead of guns. Dizzy’s opening concert was staged for the same students who had just thrown rocks at the windows of the U.S. Information Service. Tension was high as the band started to play and students jeered. Quickly, an ominous silence fell. And then… as the band roared and swung, the jeers turned to cheers and the riot had turned to roaring approval with hats, jackets and other apparel thrown to the ceiling. The crowd was so taken that they carried Dizzy out on their shoulders stalling traffic in the center of Athens.

  18. δυστυχως δεν εκανε καθολου fusion οποιδηποτε ειδος Ελληνικης μουσικης με την Jazz, οποτε το αλμπουμ δεν ειναι τιποτα ιδιαιτερο απο αυτη την αποψη.

  19. Έχω την αίσθηση ότι οι κίονες ανήκουν στην (τότε πρόσφατα αποκαταστημενη) στοά του Αττάλου ή σε άλλο νεοκλασικό κτίριο. Οι βαθμίδες στον ναό του Ηφαίστου έχουν μεγαλύτερο ύψος και μεγαλύτερη φθορά
