From: PAULE I just read an interview with Ben Johnston on the 'net, I think I got there from the Just Intonation Network homepage. Anyway, a Swingle Singers recording of Ben Johnston's music was mentioned. Apparantly Ben approved of their intonation. Anyone know how I can get a hold of a copy of this? I was brainwashed as a kid into loving the Swingle Singers. Speaking of them, and off the subject of tuning, who did the first jazzy interpretations of Bach? The Modern Jazz Quartet? Jazzy Bach was a trick that every prog-rock band had know, listen to Jethro Tull, Yes, etc., but only Focus took it a step further and wrote their own jazzy neo-Baroque suites. Score one more for the Dutch for musical creativity!
