IF YOU WILL GO CHANGIN' THE PICTURE OF CHARLIE PARKER FOR ONE OF NEO-CON TALKIN'-ASSHOLE WYNTON MARSALIS ON YOUR JAZZ HEADER, YOU WILL MERELY FURTHER ALIENATE THE 3 OR 4 CATS WHO STILL OCCASIONALLY LOOK IN HERE...
IT IS NO GOOD, BABY

Hmmm... I'm not very happy with that picture of Vanessa Mae on the Classical Music on the Radio section. I don't consider her "music" as "classical", if you follow my meaning. |

Am I right in saying that vanessa was once a soulful classical performer? Somehow she has been landed with really naff arrangements and production, where she should have had a beer with Noige Kennedy and thus
been convinced that there is some room for creativity in the sphere. Marsalis I think has taken it upon himself to become a statesman for jazz agin those whos would airbrush its entire history away, who for example are those who delayed offering any help to New Orleans when the floods came. Its Marsalis or its Kenny G underpinning things, thats the elemental choice, and by a short guileful head Marsalis has won it pro tem. The education things he did for pbs with Yo-YoMa show a much broader range of musicalsympathies, but he has a mission to secure the
mainstream so that the progressive can riff from it imho.

John -
The picture you had for the Opera Board was meant to be TRAVIATA but the tenor looked just like Ronnie Corbett.
Quite glad you changed it, although I don't care for Wagner that much.

It looks a little like the horn section of Marsalis' Lincoln Center crew without Marsalis doesn't it ? But probably isn't since there is a white guy there and they don't look quite regimented enough. I guess this bored doesn't get used much because the jazz bored on the Beeb site has been more or less left unmolested by the changes over there. |

I'm not a fan of the LCJO but they do have white guys in it.
EDIT - It isn't the LCJO btw.

IGI Now I look at it, you're right. I suppose I am very out of touch to think that valkyries are still dressed in breastplates in post modern prods. But the picture is taken looking up at the figure - you can see where I got the ideas there were boobs beneath the breastplate. |

Well KT, if I were to replace the photo, with one of Louis Armstrong or Bix Beiderbecke, he would likely be wearing a tuxedo !  |

Don't know where you get that idea from, mf. As far as I can see he has a mission to secure the mainstream and sideline the progressive into nonexistence. |
