	Eating dinner? Johnny Hartman, Frank Sinatra, Bill Evans, John Pizzarelli, Scott Hamilton and Paul Desmond... Nothing like good food, good wine and good tunes.

	Dave Holland's solo bass disc called "Ones All." It's a lyrical, beautiful performance, very traditional compared to many of his recordings. Also, like solo piano - Chick Corea & Bill Evans & Mal Waldron. All are soothing, centering type music. Nice stuff.

	Gene Bertoncini's "Jobim: Someone to Light Up My Life." Solo guitar, and very romantic too!

	Obviosly: at dinner, I eat, maybe talk to the others that are having dinner. Later, when I am alone, i put on a CD and listen to it.

	After fixing a meal, Broget, it's nice to sit back in a comfortable chair and have my boy friend eat me out after all the wonderful cooking I've done. Of course I like to lean back with a great jazz CD playing - "Kind of Blue"? We later, much later, have dessert.

	If dessert is much later would it still be considered part of dinner? If it became more than just dessert, then what? Would a tween meal be something altogether different? It wouldn't be brunch. What would you call a meal between dinner and breakfast? It wouldn't be a snack, being too substantial. You notice the melding of breakfast and lunch in the word "brunch." What would be the equivalent at night? - because it would be at night. Nunch? Ninner? Any thoughts out there about this one? Simone (and her boyfriend) bring up an interesting philosophical dilemna here . . .

	I like to play latin jazz because it's light and upbeat and puts me in a good mood. Happy food!

	I agree with Brogett - why listen to jazz when eating dinner? I like my head clear to enjoy the aroma, the texture, the taste of good food. I like to sit at the dinner table with a blindfold on and with earplugs - but this has caused problems at restaurants. My ex-boyfriend said (in a not so nice way) that this was one of the reasons he left. Life goes on. He also didn't like the fact that I only listen to music with headphones on and a blindfold. I refuse to go to concerts or clubs. Isolate the senses for maximum intensity I say. Brogett would you blindfold me?

	Hey, Brogett and Sandra - imagine that date! They would sit around blindfolded listening to CDs until the pizza delivery arrived. Then they'd have to turn off the music to eat in silence! And just think - the night would still be young!!!!

	Yes, Alicia, the night would still be young, and what you lack in experience you also lack in imagination . . .

	As a musician, I prefer to consider the issue the other way around: What dinner do I like to eat while hearing certain types of harmonies? For example, the sound of a flatted fifth makes me hungry for yogurt- the type with live cultures only. Sharp dissonances make me hungry for a good strong, aged cheese- such as a Roquefort. I like minor ninth chords, in my composing and for what their elegance brings to my palette; I'm often inspired to seek out the richness of a really silky lobster bisque. Come to my house. If you got good ears you'll know what's for supper.

	I'm a jazz musician, but the other day one of my classicasl pals came over and played some Elgar for me. Very intense. But I have absolutely no idea what to eat while listening to this type of music. Any suggestions?

	How about sushi?

From:	Rod Vamp
	Jacque: Thanks for the recommendation, but this strikes me as typical French arrogance. Obviously you, yourself, must detest Elgar or you would have suggested coq au vin or one of your "classics." Frankly, I find your sushi suggestion to be more than a little patronizing. Do you know how many distinct varieties of sushi exist? Eh Jacque? Also,what about the wasabi/soy sauce controversy? Shoud I eat some sashimi as well? Since Elgar was a master composer, should I insist on sushi from a recongized sushi master? See Jacque, this is more complex that your narrow little mind will admit. Look, I don't care if Elgar is not your cup of tea, but for God's sake, you don't have to tear down a glorious thousand plus year old cusine, to prove your point.

	Only an American populace fed on "hot dogs" and "spam" could appreciate sushi!! It is not reasonable to expect the French NOT to be arrogant when sushi is spoken of in such glowing words. A thousand years - frozen pizza is nearly as ancient and who would describe that as great cuisine? Perhaps, an American? And Elgar - in my neighborhood he is considered the cole slaw of classical music!!! Merely a bland snack before returning to the great French tradition of composers!!! Save us all from Americans!
