My son is equally at home playing classical, big band, or horn line in a rock band. When modern concepts of flexible beat and groove playing are applied to contemporary 'classical' music, the interpretation is apt to make more sense. I can remember back when Bartok's music was pretty stiff, but modern orchestras can play it with the same majestic sweep of a John Williams score. Being able to play 'in the groove' is fast becoming a requirement for top professionals. I wonder if that is the one aspect of music that computers will never conquer. _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
