I like jazz, although I have to confess that I'm more in to contemporary (aka 'smooth' or 'chill') than classical. I do like Brubeck, however.
There just seems to be a preponderence of metal fans here on CP  .

I hate jazz! Not really But as a "home brew" drummer it is a hard field for me. Now I enjoy to listen to These old really live stuff.

I think it is more that the jazz ones are more cautious

I read a comment one time that relates. I can't remember the source, so I'll paraphrase:
Rock and roll finds countless ways to combine just three chords: C, F, and G. Jazz uses all the rest.

Now, the chords, I do not care about, but this 1/12, 1/24, 1/32, ... and especally when the "1" changes and it moves to 3/21  or what else. Listen to this is almost (not always) ok for me, but playing it, I have big Problems, also with the easy ones

One of the 'tricks' Dave Brubeck was famous for was playing in different time signatures and sometimes in different keys in the left and right hands, yet making it all sound beautiful. I read a story that he was playing an outdoor concert once when a plane flew overhead. All of a sudden, you could hear the melody from "Leaving on a Jet Plane" coming out of the piano while they were still playing the original song .

Sometimes I Need to communicate in French and even French is very common here (Swizerland) I have then and when some problems. And even more, it is a Long time since I learned French in School. So please help me if possible.
Is "voici" the right word/abbreviation for "ici est"? Does "ici est" even exists or is it a no go?
[Edit]
What about "ici sont"
[/Edit]
Sorry and thank you in advance

No, no - they are Russian Dolls: Matryoshka.
Inside each one is a lower rep member.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Definitely true for munchies_matt given his previous incarnation as fat_boy.

While "voici" translates to "here is" (or "here are"), as a native French speaker, I've never heard anyone actually use "ici est" or "ici sont" (the plural form). It's just bad sentence structure. They're not quite interchangeable. I wouldn't say "voici" is an abbreviation of, or a contraction for, "ici est" or "ici sont". I'd call "voici" a better word to use where you'd otherwise try to use "ici est" or "ici sont". There's no concern for singular or plural with "voici".
While I can give examples, I can't provide the "why". I don't have a background in that sort of thing. It just is.
(I'm skipping the accents in the following - call me lazy; I don't have the keyboard mapping)
"Voici les faits" = "here are the facts". You wouldn't say however "ici sont les faits".
"Voici la verite" = "here is the truth". Again, you wouldn't say "ici est la verite".

 thank you so much!
But help me please again to make sure I'm on the right path...
"Voici" is valid/the same for singular and plural?
[Edit]
Just read your answer again, and I think "voici" seems to be valid for both, singular/plural

That clears things up, but now I'm wondering what the difference is between voila and voici ?

Voila: So it is!
Voici: It is like...
Not sure
