This is just too weird to let pass.

Here's a quick-read news release about this strange occurrence. A fan couldn't get his money back. The police listened and said the fan had a point. It raises all kinds of issues.

My favorite quote from the story is "not everything is New Orleans funeral music".

Sounds like the"fan" needs a jazz music history education. He probably doesn't consider Dixieland jazz either.

I think this guy has "way more issues" than the definition of jazz. "My doctor told me..." What's up with that?

I liked this quote:

:"The jazz purist claimed his doctor had warned it was "psychologically inadvisable" for him to listen to anything that could be mistaken for mere contemporary music."

Since I'm not a jazz musician, I've never been accused of not being a jazz purist.

I have been accused of mixing jazz with bluegrass, and I plead guilty. But no ones ever called the cops because of it!

I can't believe the cops actually showed up for the call. Must have been a slow crime night. Or the cops wanted an excuse to go to the concert.

Is this guy related to the woman who called the police because McD's ran out of fries?

I read the spanish news , I think they are a sorta of hunt "clan" or jazz inquisitors KKK .

'I thought I had seen it all", I was obviously mistaken, "Ochs said after the incident, which became even stranger when one of the Civil Guard officers on the scene decided to examin the music performed in the festival by the jazz sax man. "Maybe he was very skilled expert in the matter (the police agent) him submitted Ochs music to a kind of summary proceedings. More surprisingly, it reached a conclusion consistent with that of the complainant: "the music of the saxophonist IS NOT jazz". oops..!

Now I´ll be plenty of check my playlist before my gigs with BIAB, only RealBook ....preventing some Medical order put me on jail.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
