...The One-Minute Pundit

And in another measure of the vibrancy of our culture, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association just had a bunch of second-string players of AMERICA'S CLASSICAL MUSIC celebrate the late Benny Carter's hundredth birthday. Maybe they can get him to write for this SUPERDUPERMEGAGIGAPLATINUM AGE of MUSICALS.

The grand finale, a selection from an album that Carter wrote for Count Basie's band, "Kansas City Suite," found the CHJO doing an uncanny impression of the Basie sound via Carter's hand.

TRANSLATION: A copy of a copy of the original. That's what we get in this AGE OF EDNA.
