The instrument? A piano-or pianoforte, if you prefer. According to the American Music Conference, there are 20,000 people playing the piano. More statistics: There are 25,000 con tact points and 8,000 moving parts. Using the saxophone, a rela tively new instrument, drums, the oldest instrument, and the geniac of the musical world-the piano, a jazz trio can produce sounds that Bach never intended to be per formed, or did he? Music Progrees There is a lot of evidence that the old masters would have dug some of the sounds that the more serious Jazzophiles are producing. Don't forget, an artr'can never be static, and the weird sounds of Kenton are just as much legiti mate as the striking counterpoint of Bach. This of course excludes rock 'n roll, which bears more resemblance to Aztec fertility rites than to music, but it explains why jazz has finally earned its place in the musi cal world. Among some of the oddities of music that will be fully explored on Classic Musical, on WUSC, there is a delightful bit of non' sense about an orgy. The record is an Angel recording of the Sadler Wells Silver Jubilee, and bears listening to. Musical Joe Among other compositions to be explored are Mozart's "Musical Joke," how Beethoven's Fifth Sym .phony would have sounded had Beethoven left in some of his orig inal sketches and many others. Though the "Gamecock" goes to press before the Roger Wagner Chorale performs, I'4 like to take this opportunity to thank Mackie Quave, host on WIS's popular "Nocturne," and Joe Pinner, of WNOK radio.
