Nothing else needed here; I've been fortunate to see MC a few times...

“Under the direction of Jeff Sanford, the Cartoon Jazz Band has been delighting audiences since 2002. Raymond Scott's music is a part of our DNA, bought in 1941 by Warner Bros. And used to underscore the antics of Daffy and Bugs and more. This music has been covered by numerous tribute bands, and used again and again in commercials, TV shows and modern cartoons, thereby exposing generation after generation to his quirky sensibilities.

After publishing his visionary manifesto, the Art of Noises, in 1913, the futurist painter Luigi Russolo designed and built a revolutionary family of new instruments with which to compose with noise: black, wooden boxes, fitted with huge acoustic horns, crank-handles (to drive them) and levers (to vary the pitch).
