This was around the time I think where Jerry was taking conducting Lessons from a conductor who used to conduct a Rome Ballet, Jerry before 1989 was a pretty bad conductor and this conductor would sit in the middle of recording sessions with Jerry's score in hand and critique his conducting technique and at the end of each session he would tell Jerry where he needed to improve and eventually his conducting became much better.

His conducting may have needed improvement, but his compositional skills were superb.
