Re: SoJ/I, Week Ten: "Maria"

Maria was my first Jane CD.

I was at a party where our hostess' music collection was not the 
usual stuff, so I asked her to find me something "different, 
impressive." She played Maria. Of course I was listening during a 
party, with much background noise, but it was notably "different, 
impressive." (I was oblivious to track 10.)

Then reading the_All Music Guide_ I learned about the Walking, & just 
how esp. different & impressive that was.
So TW was the first CD of Jane's that I bought.
And promptly flipped over!

I don't think I've heard anything as impressive since then, over the 
past 10 or so years. In this song form-- whatever category we're 
using here, I have to add. Since I've heard as wonderful music in 
other styles... > early Duke Ellington, & Enescu's chamber music.

Then I bought a bunch more, including Maria.

More to say, anon,
