Subject:Re: Translation of some organ-related terms, please help :D


I don't think many people use the term "CAT" any longer in musical
language. It doesn't have a negative use, just is very old (obsolete?)
slang and probably dates back to the earliest days of USA "JAZZ" in the
late 40's and early 50's where those who wanted to be "HIP" all went to
coffe shops and wore dark glasses and listened to poets and early solo
musicians and small music combos. I don't know if there is a word to
replace it. You might want to look up "Jazz Slang" if you have the
time. Wj
