St Johnโs in the Village 218 W 11th St, New York, NY, United StatesMusically as important as Beethoven,
Yet not regarded as such at all
So wrote Jack Kerouac in the 240th chorus of Mexico City Blues, speaking of Charlie โBirdโ Parker, whom he regarded as the perfect musician. But Jackโs love of jazz did not diminish his great love for classical music and his knowledge of it.

Bach, Claude Debussy, Erik Satie, and Amram performed by a group of distinguished musicians: pianist Yoshiko Kline, saxophonist Ken Radnofsky, and violist Consuelo Sherba.
