Hi Sai,

What do you do in RTHK, host? Producer?

My personal feeling of the first programme is that it is a bit unfocused.

It is too rudimentary for the Jazz connoisseur and at the same time the music theory, harmony theory parts too complex for people not trained in music.

You are perfectly correct. Jazz is always regarded as a type of music for Jazz musicians, not for audiences. I couldn't have put it better.

Hi Mark VI,

I've just come across those information from RTHK Radio 4. Notice that saxophonist Blaine Whittacker will be one of the guesses, so I put the information here.

I would like to quote the words of the host angelita li of the programme :

"the purpose is to open up to our workshop, the purpose is to open up doors of jazz to hong kong listeners to attract their interests and knowledge.

since we can only have one hour each week or airtime, we are trying to cover as many subjects as possible, and therefore we have this forum http://www.rthk.org.hk/discussion/ for listeners to ask questions so we can try our best to answer them.

not to speak about classical theory, but basic music theory is definitely necessary to have before you learn any other kind of music. "

If you have any questions about Jazz Music after listening, you can raise on RTHK��s Discussion Zone at http://www.rthk.org.hk/discussion.

Hope you get something there!
