  2. "the media play a large part, in any part of human culture. People can only appreciate what they see/hear." indeed
  3. "Gunter Hampel is that because jazz is not on TV anymore ? in those thousands of new stations , there is no jazz stations. if we want jazz to survive we have to have jazzstations on TV ? that is todays education, and manipulation and informant for the billions of people of new generations. göttingen the former jazzcity is still educating 25 ooo of new students ! but no jazzclub is here. no cd or dvd store to offer jazz. anyone knows where people download jazzmusic from ? and how can we be public, when we are not publicly involved ? i know what jazz has done to me. how louis armstrong gave me the scepter to teach people our great music, how my life made sense by the energy of our "real" and improvised , spirited music we just let that go , because of what ? have we created with the computer artificial species ( instead of humans )who have taken over already. ? i know a university professor here in göttingen, prof hütter who says if we are not hinking if we do not use our brains anymore, it is shrinking. how can we get to people to be involved in jazzmusik , again ???????????????? this is my question of today ? be good" ------- "o boy this chapter got lost and i have to rewrite it : the other day julius , one of my sax students came into town and asked me to play with him and a DJ on campus in a newly formed dicothek, the freshlings - erstlings-as they are called. we had an audience of 3oo kids who wnated to dance (17-3o years old) we played with sax ,flute and the DJ for 2 hours and got off, improvising. the kids, students, our future elite took off and had a ball, julius and me and the DJ served them-incredible loud a fantastic mix of getting off on each other and delivered. they danced and clapped and "listened" ! they stood here and applauded or were just looking at ur blowing and getting off, like as if to follow the flute or sax's improvisations, their faces lit up and you could feel and enjoy their deeply involvement , after 2 hours we were exhausted, because it was loud (discothek) and sweatty. they placed their jackets and bags with us on the stage, they trusted us with their valuables. after the concert i was sitting exhausted, about 1oo of them came to me, offered me drinks and said, "we have never heard a flute been played like that " or that was fantastic, dancing was so easy with the flute and sax. when we told them, that we are jazz musicians, they said what is that ?"
  4. "New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has issued a proclamation declaring Friday "Women in Jazz Day" — an attempt at cultural reform that's bound to enjoy the same resounding success as banning oversized sodas. Which is to say: Nice try, Mr. Mayor. Women in jazz certainly deserve to be celebrated. But trying to persuade arbiters of the jazz canon to make room for women as a fundamental, integral part of our history? You'd have better luck extending term limits again." http://www.npr.org/blogs/ablogsupreme/2013/05/10/182885860/a-diy-guide-to-the-history-of-women-in-jazz

He could be seen curled up on the floor of a bank foyer, sleeping on park benches or reading worn copies of National Geographic in the drunk tank."

I heard a lot of virtuosic, meticulous and spirited performances at these outer edges of clarinetistry."

I sometimes wonder how I stand with that power greater than myself while intruding on a house of worship solely to observe a spectacle. But we're always received so warmly that I quickly lose myself in the music and forget where I am."
