Marek --

Let me try to clarify.

Listening back again to check myself I do hear that there is ONE band 
number near the top, but then nothing BAND-wise until 40:00 in.

So let me correct myself:   there is only one ensemble piece, until 40:00.  
 Piano, yes.   

Its my opinion that the first 1/2 hour of content (both piano AND 
discussion) that was concerning Jelly's supposed relation to classical music could 
have been done in 5-10 minutes -- rather than consuming 1/3 of a program about 
Hot Jazz.   Again, just my opinion.
