                                        The Jazz-Man

    He was born in Wales, a division of the United Kingdom in S.W. Great
    Britain. In 1966, in Canterbury, an English Jazz group was formed by the
    name of Soft Machine. Soft Machine got its name from that old and venerable
    writer, William Burroughs. And, may I also add my own two cents here and
    say that Burroughs was and is, though a tad strange, easily one of the
    American greats in literature. Soft Machine became one of the most
    adventurous, influential and endearing of English fusion groups. Our
    Welshman joined this group, and its early recordings are considered
    representative of its most inventive works.

    Information on our composer is quite scarce...but I gleaned what I could as
    he is, in his own way, directly related to our industry. He has quite a
    little history. He has conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra. And
    though a jazz enthusiast--he began playing as a university student--I would
    venture to say he is most widely known across this country and perhaps the
    world, for his classical compositions.

    Aside from being a composer, he is also a musician and plays the saxophone
    and the oboe and the keyboard. For you jazz aficionados, he recorded
    Elastic Rock in 1970 and worked with Julia Tippetts and Keith Tippetts and
    the London Jazz Composers Orchestra. 

    He became the joint leader of Soft Machine from 1977 forward in
    conjunction with John Marshall. In 1981, when Soft Machine was disbanded,
    he worked with Mike Rutledge composing and recording music for film,
    television, and the theater.

    In 1995 our JazzMan's recording of Adiemus--Songs of Sanctuary, topped the
    pop and classical charts of Europe and Japan. And now for the meat of it
    all. 

    I don't have the exact date that he composed a piece called Palladio. Our
    JazzMan's name is Karl Jenkins. And an excerpt from the Allegretto from the
    Palladio, which he performed in a campaign that started sometime in 1995,
    has become the musical signature for DeBeers Diamonds. It is available, for
    those who want to buy it, on a CD from Sony entitled Diamond Music.

    A special thanks to a young lady named Ellen who led me to this
    information.

And there ya have it.
That's it for this week folks.
Catch you all next week.

Take care,
Benjamin Mark
