The ethnical question is tricky. In Denmark and if to be politically correct, people are considered to be Danes when they live in Denmark, even they may be called "new Danes" if they had come from another country.

In my case, I was only 15 years old when my family moved to Denmark, and I got Danish citizenship at the age of 22, but anyway, I consider my self as a Dane of Polish origins. But of course, it can be very different for somebody around the 30 and depending on all the circumstances.

Tricky for you maybe. I don't care. If I moved to Ethiopia tomorrow, I would still not think of myself as an Ethiopian. But if an Ethiopian moved to Denmark and insisted on being Danish - well, that's fine by me. I have no interst in being difficult for no important reason. I just don't think that way personallly.

^ I can promise there'll be no Danes in the next U.S. Jazz Fusion poll for 1977, but there may be the belated inclusion of a Frenchman - and maybe even a Czech.

At least I remembered to include Didier Malherbe in the recent French Prog poll, and he even picked up a vote from Lewian too, despite being up against 24 other strong contenders.

About Romantic Warrior, it definitely portended new times in the Jazz-Rock genre.

But you might think differently after living there 50 years.

It's like a question of living in the past, or in the presence and future.

Better to say heralded. There's nothing good about a portent.

That's why I feel portened is more correct. I think Jazz-Rock largely became awful in the late 1970's and the 1980's.

Well then, Terje Rypdal (your favorite) and 17 of his albums, 1976 onward, are awful. Or does he get a pass?
