Whee, let's OT! ... at risk of breaking the biscuit continuity ...

Seeing as how one of my greatest influences always quotes Monk as one of his, I should study too. My interest in Jazz currently starts somewhere round Miles Davis. Clearly I never listened to Frank Zappa's lyrics properly (favourite Zappa is 'Hot Rats' and SUAPYG, which may explain ;-) Last Wednesday 30 June 2004 11:47, Immanuel Litzroth was like: > > ?I'd sorta' like to hear what a jam sessiom with Charlie Parker and Zappa > > might sound like. > > Or even a discussion about drug abuse. heh. Either way, it's got to sound better than what happened when Hendrix and Morrison met. But hey, let's not go there. I'm really much more interested in the music people are making with Linux Audio, studying the greats IS important, I'm currently re-acquainting myself with Bob Marley, but it's too easy to get bogged down in reproducing a great idea that has already been realised, when we have the means at our disposal to create great new music ourselves. I mean that. cheers tim hall --"It is no Myst'ry, we're makin' hist'ry"--LKJ--
