LINK: Crosby, Stills and Nash get jazzy with Marsalis

NEW YORK (AP) — Crosby, Stills and Nash surprised the audience with a new look when they walked onstage dressed in dark gray Brooks Brothers suits for a benefit concert with Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
"If you laugh at our suits, you're getting thrown out of here," quipped Graham Nash. "My first pair of grown-up shoes," David Crosby added, without skipping a beat. "They have laces and everything."
Nash admitted to some uncertainty about whether the languages of rock and jazz "would blend" at Friday night's concert in Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater.
But such concerns were quickly dispelled once the folk-rock trio's trademark intricate vocal harmonies and acoustic and electric guitar parts were enhanced by the JLCO's tight ensemble playing and skilled soloists such as saxophonists Sherman Irby, trumpeter Marcus Printup and trombonist Vincent Gardner.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
