It was one of the most important and long-lived of several modern music-oriented organizations founded in the U.S., particularly in New York, in the 1920s and 1930s.Nevertheless, as Thorne and Davies remarked in the course of their talk, it remained the case that American orchestras played relatively little American music.

Hij onderzoekt alle uithoeken van het muzieklandschap, van hardrock en rock & roll tot ingetogen ballads. In 1970 brengt hij zijn eerste soloalbum John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band uit. Daarna zullen nog vier albums volgen, met het album Double Fantasy als het laatste album voor zijn dood. Lennon wordt op 8 december 1980 op de stoep van zijn woning doodgeschoten door Mark David Chapman.
