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.
