[Dixielandjazz] The Tristan Production in Rio

[Harold Smith]

Terrific story via Steve Barbone.
I'm a mite prejudiced by my narrow mind when it comes to serious music.
I think the real obscenity was the production and not the mooning.  

If this guy were put in charge of an OKOM band, he'd insist that all the
soloists play Modally in Free Form,  the drummer would be put to death
if he tried to keep any kind of beat,  and the audience would be shot on
sight if they smiled.

Morosely, Harold Smith
