'Beethoven with a bass guitar? Fine!'
The journey of Cleo Laine and John Dankworth began in the late 1940s, in a gloomy postwar Britain of bombsites and ration books. It's a world away from the elegant lounge of their Victorian rectory in Buckinghamshire, where they've lived since 1969, and where I now sit waiting. Clocks chime in distant rooms. A grand piano looms over a TV. There are lots of pictures: family snaps, dark oil paintings, portraits of Laine, and shots of the musical giants the couple have worked with, from Dizzy Gillespie to Sarah Vaughan, from Frank Sinatra to Ray Charles.

Gibson Robotic Guitar
Gibson isn’t the first company to develop a robotic guitar tuning system, but their “Robot Guitar” with its sexy blue sunburst finish is undoubtedly the slickest implementation so far. Not only will the guitar tune itself, it’s also able to switch between a variety of different tuning presets depending on what you want to play.
