You know, I've heard of John Coltrane in the movies several times, but I don't think I've every heard the music.  Are you a jazz fan?
gpt
*calm eyes* No, I've never been a fan of jazz.  But, I have heard of Coltrane as well, mostly in movie references.  From what I understand he had a very distinctive sound.
human
I've never heard about his son, but thats nice that he is a musician too.  John must have died pretty young.
gpt
*tilts head* I could feel bad for his son, Ravi.  He plays all of his dad's instruments, but in a different manner.  I wonder how much people really expect him to sound the exact same as John.
human
Hopefully not too much.  From what I know about jazz its pretty fluid.  It is sad he never got to meet his father.
gpt
A bit sad, maybe.  But with his sound and style of music, he really worked more to inspire other music from other artists, namely his kid's, but other people take the same inspiration.
human
*takes a step forward* I didn't know jazz had some roots in European military band music.  Blues and ragtime sure that makes sense
gpt
*eyes widen* I wasn't aware of that, either.  My understanding has been that jazz really got its roots in the deep south, in places like New Orleans.
human
Right it says that.  I've also never heard of the style Bebop that it says emerged in the 1940s
gpt
Bebop wasn't really a danceable music sound, though.  Jazz should be more of the cool jazz sound that developed after the bebop phase.
human
*lips slightly parted* My article says that Pakistan has a jazz orchestra that is topping the charts.  That's very interesting, I wonder what kind of a sound they have
gpt
Jazz is really just jazz, no matter where you are.  So, Pakistan having a jazz orchestra probably sounds about the same as it would in the U.S.  I do find it interesting that they would be topping any charts, though.
human
I'm sure there are cultural differences that make different sounds.  Interesting that Clint Eastwood has scored several films though.  I didn't know he was musically talented
gpt
I wasn't either.  But, it's really easy to score a film when you direct the film as well.  Million Dollar Baby was good, but I wonder if he would have been selected with a different director.
human
Did you see that Linkin park is the best-selling album of the 21st century?  That doesn't seem right
gpt
Hybrid Theory was a pretty good album.  Best selling of the 21st century is a bit of a surprise, though.  I wonder if it has the longevity of Dark Side of the Moon, though.
human
Never heard it.  I"m going to have to look up about climbers finding a piano on the top of britain's highest mountain in 2006.  Was that a prank?
gpt
I could have been. But, a piano at the top of the mountain was probably brought there for the unique acoustics it would provide as the sound traveled down the mountain.
human
There must be an easier way to get acoustics than hauling a piano to the top of a mountain.  I'd never heard the name of guy who invented the piano.  Not surprising it came from Italy
gpt
I was just surprised that it was invented in 1700.  I would have suspected it being invented earlier.
