Here we go again

[j4]

Yes, it's another questions thingy, because I'm bored (and quite probably boring). Stolen from kennedybak this time.


[A] First, recommend to me:
1. a movie:
2. a book:
3. a musical artist, song, or album:

[B] I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions, no more, no less. Ask me anything you want.
1.
2.
3.

[C] Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends to ask you anything & say that you stole it from me.

Feh. So do I; but these people aren't jazz musicians; they just sound a bit jazzy - like Gershwin...

It's the jazz police!

Well, they might be jazz musicians. In their spare time. But who cares? FFS, "jazz" even trumps "indie" in the hierarchy of "musical genres which were clearly only invented so that people could sneer at other people".

Sorry! For the record, I'm not sneering - I like some of that stuff. It's just that I get frustrated that stations ike Jazz FM, for one, never actualy play any jazz... The term jazz is used by marketroids because, somehow, it still has a certain sophisticated cachet attached to it. God knows why, though - it's just as anoraky as folk (and much the same connection with Real Ale drinkers).

Look, I don't really care for labels on music, but if you are going to use them, they ought to mean something...

Jazz is NOT anoraky! Unless, of course, you mean bad trad a la Acker Bilk, which is music that came born in a snorkel parka, with a pint of Ramsden's Old Rotgut in its baby bottle.

Uh, yeah, and that's why people don't quote matrix numbers for Parker's Dial sessions, yes?

Re: It's the jazz police!

[burkesworks.livejournal.com]

'46 or '47 Dial sessions?
