In the early 1970s, classical music started to incorporate jazz parts. A conductor is unable to find a trumpet player in his symphonic orchestra who can play a jazz solo. Two the solo perfectly. Two days before the concert, the conductor, desperate, hires a jazz trumpet player.
The jazz man arrives at practice thirty minutes late, takes his horn out of a bag, and nods to the conductor. He plays the solo perfectly.
The day before the concert, the jazz man arrives at rehearsal fifteen minutes late, takes his horn out of the bag, and nods to the conductor. Again, he plays the solo perfectly.
Finally, on dress rehearsal, the jazz man is on time. He pulls his horn out of a bag, nods to the conductor, and again plays flawlessly. After the rehearsal, the conductor approaches him. "I never really thought that jazz players were musicians, but you have really impressed me!"
The jazz man puts his horn back in the bag and replies "Well, I thought it was the least I could do, seein' as how I can't make the gig tonight."
