Vinyl Wednesday: Dizzie Gillespie - Closer To The Source
This record caught my eye immediately when I read the names of the special guests: Marcus Miller, Stevie Wonder and Branford Marsaris. - "Really?? Marsaris? Are you sure?" "Yes." "Ok, lt's print it!"
Jazz lovers know that his name is Marsalis. I always thought it's a joke that japanese mix up "l" and "r".
i found a nice video about this which explains a lot:
It's so easy to feel superior over something like this but if a sound is not in your language it's hard! Think of the non-existing "th" in German (they often cannot pronounce it) or "h" written in french but not pronounced, etc...
Still it's funny.
