So, what exactly is the problem? There is no problem.   Just a statement of fact.  I'm sure MJQ can play Bach.  I know they can play Jazz. They just can't play both at the same time, within the same tune. And if MJQ couldn't pull it off, no ...

Bach & Jazz:The Good Lord continues to test me.The Blues on Bach thing is nice music.  So is the Swingle Singers.  I even have a CD of both groups together.  It's nice music because it's played by consummate professionals.   I'm sure MJQ can p...

it wasn't until I had a hearing test that the source of the problem was revealed. Ages ago, in the Air Force, my left ear drum was injured in a rapid decompression incident, and as many injuries, they get worse with old age. A lot of posters in t...

When Nina Simone became more well known in an interview, probably her first main one, she was asked whom her big influence was. She replied without hesitation and matter-of-factly, Johann Sebastian Bach. When people say things like that, whethe...

ALL of you people get a little too personal with all this.  You say things that can't be taken back, or forgotten.  As the General said in 'Good Morning Vietnam', "Hell, it's only radio."  Or in our case, Jazz. I ’ve got a flash for you O-10 , wi...
