H: Hokus Fokus

by Jack Bowers
August 25, 2005

Too much Hokus, not enough Fokus. It seems the younger generation has taken a singularly soft and melodious instrument, namely the guitar, and turned it into a coarse and irritating noisemaker.

Barbra Streisand sang that “people who need people” are the luckiest people in the world. To that list should be added big–band enthusiasts in and around Stuttgart, Germany, as the SWR Big Band’s Jazz Matinees there just keep getting better and better.
