| I fully intended to add to this topic but I have just read what both Toots and Mike Blutman have written and I totally agree. There's room for the classics but music has to move onwards and upwards to survive, even in the symphonic world.
I have a son who is keen on going to the RAM as a jazz guitarist and who is already a skilled and enthusiastic electronic musician. It's an exciting thought that his future experience may include the sort of projects that Mark Gould has undertaken and that his 'network' will include all musicians, regardless of training.
Just my take on it.
