Here's another example of culture clash in Jazz. This is American saxophonist Bob Mintzer playing with several members of the Russian-based Open World Jazz Octet. While they play straight jazz for the most part, only one of the members of the Octet speaks English with any proficiency. But they could all play nearly flawless jazz together. It's amazing how jazz has become a language of its own. Great concert, by the way.

sounds like Moscow on Hudson, the Robin Williams movie. Have you by any chance read Proust WAs a Neuroscientis? It has a lot on how these things happen.
