| A Funny Forward...
A conductor was getting an orchestra together for a performance but was having trouble finding a bass player. He called the contractor and was told the only player available was a jazz bassist. The conductor didn't want to work with jazz musicians! He said they dress lousy, they're always late, and they all have an attitude problem.
The contractor finally gets through to the conductor that the jazz bass
player was the only bass player available.
The conductor, being desperate for the part to be covered, acquiesced and agreed to use the jazz player.
On the day of the first rehearsal the conductor arrived early and noticed the jazz bassist was already there. He was wearing a suit and tie and was on stage practicing his part. During the rehearsal, the bassist played his part quite well and was responsive to all the conductor's requests. At the second rehearsal the jazz bassist turned in a nearly perfect performance.
At the dress rehearsal the bassist was playing his part flawlessly. At the break, the conductor said to the orchestra, "I have an apology to make. I was dreading having to work with a jazz musician, but I must say that our bass player has certainly proved me wrong. He has always been neatly dressed, he has always here early for the rehearsals, he works on the part, and he has really learned the music." Then, to the bass player he said, "I just want to tell you that I truly appreciate your effort and dedication."
The jazz bassist replied, "Hey man, it's the least I can do, considering I
can't make the gig."
