The leader of the ensemble then, and the musician most responsible for bringing Solonese aspects to the performance style in the 1930's is the remarkable musician KRT Wasitodiningrat, best known to Americans as Pak Cokro (he taught for some years in California). Pak Cokro is still alive, over 100 years old, and has even composed and played a bit in recent years.Daniel Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093101325234464791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980672.post-35644039028407197052006-12-20T21:41:00.000-05:002006-12-20T21:41:00.000-05:00At the time of the Hot Sevens, Satchmo was very po...At the time of the Hot Sevens, Satchmo was very popular.
