    In response to the last post, it seems self-defeating to, on the one hand, crave interaction yet, on the other, to go out of one's way to make it as unpleasant and "complicated" as possible. Try a different approach? Just a suggestion.

    And Ravel was influenced by jazz also. Here’s some discussion.

    Making a Martini with vodka is bad enough, but a blue-cheese olive is insufferable. In any case, what is a double Martini? Is it served in a vase?

    Hi, L,
    Vodka Martinis are reserved for the hardcore. No gentle lulling into LaLa Land. And a BCO is mandatory in some parts of the country--especially the Midwest. A double "Mart" is also quite standard since a standard 2-3 ounces of the revered fluid hardly wets one's palette. Any top shelf establishment disregards standard "pours"--especially with their good customers.
    Back to Music. Did you notice in the above abominable piece by Debussy at about 1:15 -1:20 ,and forward, a motif Bernstein definitely stole from D for his West Side Story? Thanks for your reply and your sense of humor!

    Thank you, Marinero. I am familiar only with Martini served in a standard glass, and filling it to the brim. The revolving lounge at the Bonavista in Los Angeles was one good place to drink them.

    I will listen again to West Side Story.

    See, N, what I miss not being conversant in Y2K dribble? Oh well . . . I'll have to leave that to another generation. In my generation . . . you had to be careful what you said to someone. What a difference the internet generation assumes in personal communication! However, it's a long sail to England. Play live . . .Marinero

    True, many jazz musicians were influenced by impressionist styles in classical music, painting, literature, and so on.
    OTOH, while Charlie Parker - and other jazz musicians - loved Debussy, his playing was purely expressive. Django loved the French impressionist painters, but his own paintings show the attributes of expressionism.

    I'd connect impressionism with cool jazz, classical-related chamber jazz, etc., but since the beginning of jazz most of its genres are much more related to expressionist than impressionist movements. To me the nature of jazz is expressionism!

    Quite.

    Also, surprised to see they were holding jazz festivals in the Pacific as early as 1227, so I'm missing something there.

    Hi, C,
    Can you explain the basic elements of Abstract Expressionist Music as well as providing an example of this in Jazz Music? Thanks in advance. Play live . . . Marinero
