* 2006: Chip Davis & Carrie Rodriguez

Their President, Jefferson Davis, interpreted their Constitution to mean that it `` admits of no coerced association '', but this remained so doubtful that `` there were frequent demands that the right to secede be put into the Constitution ''.

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.

In the remainder of his speech Davis spoke of his admiration for Brown and warned those who took part in the meeting that they `` are liable to the charge that they are supporting traitors and upholding men whom the laws have condemned ''.

What Parker and his contemporaries -- Gillespie, Davis, Monk, Roach ( Tristano is an anomaly ), etc. -- did was to absorb the musical ornamentation of the older jazz into the basic structure, of which it then became an integral part, and with which it then developed.

In fact, the whole generation of the founding fathers of bop -- Gillespie, Monk, Davis, Blakey, and the rest -- are just now at a considerable discount.

Nearly twenty-five years before, Captain John Davis had noted, as he sailed near the Arctic Circle, `` a very great gulf, the water whirling and roaring, as it were the meeting of tides ''.

Davis may use the tax bill as a means to effect a transition from special sessions of the Legislature to normalcy.

Actually, Davis would have to toss in the towel soon anyway.

Passage of the sales tax measure would also give Davis the means to effect a transition.

But if all alternatives should be clearly blocked off, it can be expected the Davis administration will take steps to trim spending at the spring session of the state Legislature.

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.

The new year might see some house-cleaning, either genuine or token, depending upon developments, to give Davis an opportunity to combat some of these criticisms.
