My 2 cents. Reaching for something that isn't there = a nut job.

i think he meant marketing the right thing to the right market. an example would be playing chopin at a country western bar. or booking a metal band for a cocktail party. failure will happen! you need to know your market.

Pie in the sky I guess you could also say. It could also refer to some of the genres that show up at Jazz festivals. I remeber the year they had Kenhy G there at that festival. pretty ill fit really.

would Kenny G. be considered jazz? brilliant musician but kind of a yawn fest.
