I'm
typing this on a very rainy Thursday. Back when I was in high school
music, there was a jazz band chart that was played all over the country,
called "Here's That Rainy Day." I didn't really think it was that good.
It seemed that certain charts just got "in vogue" among high school and
college jazz bands. We just had to play them. We tended to be called "stage bands" then, not "jazz bands," because the word jazz, I guess had shady connotations or something. We got over that. Serious jazz education was just getting going in the mid-1970s. I wonder if at present it's losing some steam. Maybe we're heading back to the more disciplined and structured model for music, as the old UMM men's chorus exemplified. Wouldn't it be neat to see that come back.
