Great to see some recognition!

But I've just gotta say:
1) "the kind of wacky, experimental-music shows that
wouldn't go over in a place like the Stork Club -
shows in which you'd expect to see Tom Djll blowing
into the wrong end of a trumpet, Phillip Greenlief
bobbling a triplet figure over"
....Since when are triplets experimental?
 
PG:
When you bobble them...

That writer was tapping into the Noisy People Zeitgeist - both of those
activities are in the film...who was the writer? I couldn't find a name
associated with it. Was it Kelly Vance?

My favorite was "ultracosmopolitan East Bay" 
:p !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My spell-check had a problem with ultracosmopolitan
My missed-the-boat-check had a problem with the concept in general)


JL:
2) "pianist Scott Looney - whose improvisations go so
far off the beaten track that it's hard for others to
play with him -"

PG:
Who are these "others"? 
That's what I want to know. 
Like, Kitaro?


JL:
3) "International names like German flutist Frank
Gratkowski schedule dates here"
 
PG: 
More Noisy People zeitgeist - Frank plays his clarinet shakuhachi-style
in the film (with the mouthpiece off - blowing into the tube of the
instrument). It sounds like a flute in the film (I know, "flutist...").
And BTW: I SCHEDULE THOSE DATES FOR HIM!!!!!!!


JL:
...I would say "That should be 'flautist'" except he's
not that either.

PG:
What species is he exactly? 
(plant? animal? vegetable?)

Raskin and I can't work it out - he seems human, but...he can play an
alto saxophone an octave lower than anyone else on the planet. And he
has a working range of about a minor third down there...
