Thanks, Frogperson . I’m about 1/2 way through " Blue Rhythm Fantasy(old eyes cutting my speed) .Unreal research, figured out in first chapter was a worked over PhD dissertation (good thing) .
Were I running a School of Music anywhere , I would see that all jazz students read this book . Much of what what went on then is still going on now, just in another suit .
Wouldn’t hurt the Classical students either , there is a lot of gender blend
like Debussy whole -tone scale etc .
Re: Language and music , Just listed to one the most moving pieces ever written on FM,
"Pavane pour une infante defunte" , can’t ever guess how many times I’ve heard it .Today it was played by French National , froze me in my tracks . Literally .Classical soul at its very best .
