The towering music of Johann Sebastian Bach was not in fashion during his lifetime; he was known mainly for his exceptional organ playing. But it was his sons Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Johann Christian Bach who were the megastars and paved the way for the Classical period of Mozart and Haydn. JSB must have been a proud poppa. Also, how silence can break your heart. And what did Miles Davis mean when he said, "Never play the root"?

The Miles Davis reference comes from a Mark Maron WTF podcast interview of Paul Schaefer. Caution--the language is explicit.
