Does anybody know what kind of Jazz this is?
Weet iemand wat voor soort Jazz dit is? (welke richting)

I hope the lyrics do justuce to this, which functionally for me because of the internet is THE intruduction to the composition. I see singers in the background did they already sing or will they next? Are the lyrics in English, my only language, and also does the translation if not, and available, do justice to the music? These questions have very much in common with the jazz situation of market and publishing forces having in the time of many opera houses around the US in little towns causing the eventual divorce of the "Burden" or intro (which for the composer is actually the verse with essential story and drama of the whole piece) from the "verse" (actually the chorus) which the audience with sheet music in hand could read, sing, and learn from and therefor buy to support the visiting star who had the pull to add the song to the rest of the dramatic production .... musical, or revue on the billing.
