Guitarists such as Pat Martino, Al Di Meola, Larry Coryell, John Abercrombie, John Scofield and Mike Stern ( the latter two both alumni of the Miles Davis band ) fashioned a new language for the guitar which introduced jazz to a new generation of fans.

The revolution in jazz that took place around 1949, the evolution from the `` bebop '' school of Dizzy Gillespie to the `` cool '' sound of Miles Davis and Lennie Tristano, Lee Konitz, and the whole legend of Charlie Parker, had made an impression on many academic and literary men.

The fourth and last speaker was Thomas Davis.

Davis commenced his remarks by an allusion to the general feeling of opposition which the meeting had encountered from many of the citizens and all the newspapers of the city.

A constant problem confronting Davis on any proposals for new taxes will be the charge by his foes that he has not tried to economize.
