I wish Gunther Schuller (sp?) were able to weigh in on this topic. His
efforts at blending the "classical" and jazz genres were really
significant. He called it "Third Stream," and created some most
interesting sounds. I don't think he's still alive, but I'm not sure.

I have been asked by some non-musician friends what the definition

I have not been able to come up with a very good answer.
If you expect to make money on it, it's pop; if you expect to lose
money on it, it's classical.

Oh, darn! And here I was expecting to lose money playing jazz! Does
this mean I am really playing classical music (or as Duke Ellington
called it - black classical music) or that it's bad pop? 8-)

Para m�, la m�sica es la respiraci�n de la vida y de Dios.
Per me, la musica � l'alito di vita e del Dio.
Pour moi, la musique est le souffle de la vie et de Dieu.
