Concert at Carnegie Hall for the 80th birthday of a genius of classical music and jazz: pianist, composer, conductor and arranger!!! Andre Previn Trio!!! The audience??? Same thing!!!

And now, my distinguished colleague and virtuoso musician: clarinet, saxophone and flute: Adam Kapera, who worked with the top names in Polish Jazz in Sweden: W. Karolak, A. Dabrowski, C. Bartkowiak, Ewa Bem and others; and I had the pleasure of working with him in Cracow from 1967 to 1971 !!! I quote his response to my remarks that: "...they (Africans) like trumpets, saxophones, trombones and DRUMS!!! probably that's why they don't go to Carnegie Hall!!! But in the Big Band they had 5 trumpets, 5 saxophones, 4 trombones and 2 sets of drums (half the musicians were Africans) and the outstanding contemporary vocalist Diane Reeves (also colored), and what??? The audience: the hall was sold out: Euro-Americans and Asians!!! Around 8 Africans!!! So in search of BLACK JAZZ LOVERS, and "concert" music in general, we went to Lincoln Center (which is the home base of W. Marsalis and his Phenomenal Orchestra) for a concert by the distinguished trumpeter, composer and conductor: Wynton Marsalis (black, born in New Orleans) and his phenomenal Big Band (6 white and 9 black musicians)!!! Guest performers: Joe Levano: tenor saxophone, and DIANE REEVES: vocal!!! Concert for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the famous recording studio and record company, the BLUE NOTE!!! "THE BEST OF BLUE RECORDS"!!! Wynton Marsalis: the world's best trumpeter (black) and outstanding composer and conductor!!! A concert by the very geniuses of jazz: W. Marsalis, Joe Levano, D. Reeves and the orchestra, all virtuosos!!! Excellent repertoire; sensational performances; and what??? The audience??? The hall was sold out: Euro-Americans and Asians!!! And blacks??? Around 10 people!!! We would really like to know why things are like that??? Europe and Asia in attendance at New York concert halls!!! But where are the Africans, Latinos and other "races"??? To be continued!!!!
