George "Alan" Dawson was born in 1929 in Marietta, Pennsylvania and raised in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood.
Alan always felt that coordination was good to have, but when taken to extremes it could set up rhythmic interference instead of keeping the groove going.
Alan once stated that, "The difference between jazz and other music is like the difference between marching and dancing - marching is done on the heels and dancing is done on the toes.
Hart, who had enjoyed close friendship with "Father Palestine", Yassir Arafat and "Mother Israel" Golda Meir - so much so that despite being 48 years younger than her, in her cabinet circle, and much to their annoyance, he was known as her "boyfriend" - has over the years, waged war on Zionism.
Hart started his speech with a quotation from his book that reads, "If the Jews of the Diaspora can summon up the will and the courage to make common cause with the forces of reason in Israel before it is too late for us all, a very great prize awaits them.
According to Hart journalists were not necessarily sympathetic to the Zionist state but the problem was with the owners of big publishers who were afraid of being punished for their honesty by their advertisement plugs being pulled.
