Band Members:DR BOB'S JAZZ BOPPIN' BEBOP QUARTET - JBBQ - REMAINS A PUZZLEMENT...LIKE RUBIX CUBE......EVEN WHEN REVEALED THERE WILL
ALWAYS BE ENTRANCEMENT, INFATUATION, MYSTERY - LIKE
LIFE ITSELF - AMAZINGLY GRACED WITH THE MAGIC OF SONG.............
ALL of the members of the JBBQ have historic classical roots......quite
literally......for they are each direct descendants of immortal classical
composers......they are the DNA of five Classic Musicians...whose famous
names are known universally in every cultural corner of the world:
Johann Sebastian BACH; Wolfgang Amadeus MOZART; Ludwiguan van
BEETHOVEN; Johannes BRAHMS; and Franz SCHUBERT (when JBBQ
morphs from Quartet into Quintet)....................................................
...Dr. Bob met each of the classy "guys" who eventually became his JBBQ...
while they were all in various colleges/universities and associated venues
in Europe and the United States. Over time, a unique musical bond formed
between them...and they understood that the classical roots of Western
Music...combined with Eastern and Other World Cultures...gave them an
historic opportunity to meld the best of the best classic global music into
a new sound of music......which they eventually incorporated out of common
LOVE OF JAZZ into the eclectic jazz music style of JAZZ BOPPIN' BEBOP.Now...for the record...(pun intended)...here are the names of band members of Dr. Bob's JBBQ......That is, the names that they all use in their daily lives
as professional musicians. For understandable reasons...they all choose
to remain anonymous in terms of their famous historic names......as they
long ago tired of talking about their past lineage...when all that each wants to
do is just 'GET IT ON WITH SONG"!!!!!..................................................
....
And when Dr. Bob plays/sings along with the group he rounds out a Quartet
into Quintet and sometimes even SEXTET...also, for the record (sorry again
about the pun fun)...he uses his real name...because his last name -
Morrissey - with Irish ancestry - has a proud history......but is not related to
any classical music immortals......so his role as JBBQ founder is basically
A & R plus Front Man and Etcetera for the Band:ON DRUMS ------ ****Joanna S. {shhhhhhhhhhhh - Bach}
ON PIANO ------- ****Wolf A. {shhhhhhhhhhh - Mozart}
ON BASS -------- ****Louis B. {shhhhhhhhhhhh - van Beethoven}

ON ETC. -------- ****Robert (Dr. Bob) Morrissey - Leader, vocals,

etcetera, etcetera, etcetera......adnauseam...
ON FEMALE VOCALS ------**** Very Special Musicians like Anny S.

lyrics and music for the Band.
ON OTHER INSTRUMENTS ------ **** Musicians as needed.AND SO...IT SHOULD NOW BE LESS ENIGMATIC...THAT DR. BOB'S JAZZ BOPPIN' BEBOP QUARTET...IS A MUSIC FIGMENTATION OF OUR IMAGINATIONS......OR IS IT?????????????????????????????????????? PERHAPS...IT DOES NOT MATTER!!!...AS WHAT YOU HEAR...IS WHAT YOU GET!!!!......AND IF YOU REALLY GET THIS MUSIC AS ART FOR YOUR EARS OR "EAR ART"......THEN WHAT ELSE SHOULD MATTER???? SO PLEASE ENJOY THE MUSIC EXPERIENCES OF JBBQ OR THE "FAB FIGGY 4 + 5 & 6"......AS DR. BOB SO FONDLY CALLS HIS MOST INCREDIBLY UNIQUE JAZZ BOPPIN' BEBOP BAND........................................................ ..........************************J. S.
