Jazz and Freemasonry

[Ron Thorne]

I'm only a messenger here. I don't profess to have much knowledge or understanding of Freemasonry, though I have over four decades of jazz experience. However, I remember a thread in The Alley on the "old" Jazz Corner concerning this combo topic, so thought this link might stimulate some positive and interesting discourse.

Feel free to talk amongst us and improvise.

Looks interesting. I printed it out and will read in depth later. My father is a mason (Shriner, actually) so it will be interesting to get his perspective (although he's not much of a jazzer).

You black-balling bastards! I wouldn't become a freemason now if you got down on your lousy stinking knees and begged me! - Monty Python
