Cornwall, where our Jazz Band performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Cornwall, has been said:- " The ancient county of Cornwall, blessed with a mild climate, spectacular craggy cliffs, beautiful coves, creeks and rolling moorland, is justifiably one of our favourite holiday destinations. The exceptionally mild south coast has sub tropical vegetation in places, whereas the north coast is exposed to the bracing Atlantic winds, making it popular for surfing. The small fishing villages are a delight, often nestled in steep combes and once the haunt of pirates. " Francis Davis ~ 'I used to believe that what scared most people away from jazz was their suspicion that they would be bored by it. In the case of much latter-day bebop, with its lineup of soloists running down the chords to no apparent purpose after stating a sketchy theme not to be heard again until the end, boredom is a reasonable response. The solution, I always thought, was to expose people to kinds of jazz in which composition and improvisation overlap, and in which something is going on in every measure. It wouldn't have to be Muhal Richard Abrams or Sun Ra or anything too far out; it could be Ellington or Charles Mingus or even Marsalis's score for the 1990 movie Tune In Tomorrow. But if new audiences are flocking to jazz on the heels of a generation of musicians who were themselves receptive to Marsalis's ideology at an impressionable age, I must be wrong. People who have never really listened to jazz want it to go on sounding the way they've been led to believe it should, so that they'll be able to recognize it in case they ever chance to hear any.
