You'll forgive me if I don't take Forbes for a definitive source here, nor the fact that Kasparov could beat a dedicated supercomputer in 1997 as the end-all conclusion that a human is required. In...
The group had embraced progressive jazz by the Third album in 1970. The three remaining original members had been joined by Elton Dean, on alto and saxello. ...
The votes are in and our next tune will be Scrapple From the Apple. We’ll take four bars each week. So this week we’ll be learning m1-4 … ending about halfway through bar four, the second half of...
