[Dixielandjazz] What happened to Jazz?

[Fr M J (Mike) Logsdon]

>>>Soon to be followed by The Beatles, the UK's most famous
musical export. No way was Jazz in any form going to be able to compete with
that, unless merged into it like Miles' electric funk or fusion efforts.<<<

A snickering veer off-current-topic, but this comment dredged up a hilarious memory.

In the late '80s, a bashing bio of one of the Beatles came out, causing much uproar (someone, I'm sure, can identify the Beatle and the author for us).  So, one night on Saturday Night Live, an alternative account of the Beatles' early days was shown, in which there was a 5th Beatle -- the bio author -- whose instrument was ......... trombone.  The Fab Four had to let him go, the result being a future disgruntled biographer.

Sorry for the digression!,
