Jazz in trouble

[ironguts]

It seems even in the old home of Jazz, the US of A, Jazz is upon hard times.

Interesting.

I wouldn't lose sleep over it, the IAJE is rubbish.

I'm certainly not concerned at all, just think it's interesting. Rather the opposite for me, I think it's rather funny in the light of PR's big essay about Jazz in the permanent underground. Even the country that invented it doesn't support it that much, unless it's the coca-cola world of Wynton. Even PR is not at most of the gigs SIMA puts on anyhow, why should he expect the public to go? So many holes, lots of gerbils in them too. Ego is not a dirty word, but Jazz is. Carn the hooks!
