Hi Marek:

Picky, picky, picky. <grin>

If not jazz, then what? I know, no doubt you would call Brubeck  
"noise". But I think just about everyone else in the world calls it  
jazz. What is there in his music that does not fit the definition of  
jazz? And if Desmond and Morello are not jazz musicians, nobody is.

I'm located in Oxford Pennsylvania USA. Named after Oxford England and  
in the rolling hills of Chester County. It's horse country, fox  
hunting and all those other things that remind us those who settled  
here on the land grant from the King to William Penn. Surrounding  
towns include Nottingham, Devon, New London, Avondale, etc., etc.

Cheers,
