Tim,

Your statement could not be any more truer.

I totally agree with Thomas' statement here:

"The jazz audience will never be large enough. Jazz is music of the night, music from the far edge of the grid. But there will always be people who need it. They will seek it out and find it".

 

This is a wonderful article and I certainly am looking forward to more of Thomas' insightful writings.

I see where Amazon has 4 Cd's of Umbria Jazz 11@ $23.28 ea. These are new Cd's by the way. Blue Note, like Deutsche Grammaphon, has some of the best if not, THE best recordings on Cd in my opinion. 

Live At Umbria Jazz Vol.II by Gil Evans and his Orchestra was my last purchase. Jimi Hendrix would have been proud!

tim's lead of letter and its progeny are on the mark. guttenberg's article was ill considered and just plain wrong. that beiing said, i do take issue with  tin's statememen: "...(A)s most , not all , young north American's seem to be more interested in a quick thrill than sitting and relaxing while listening to a truely meaningful piece of music" .(underline added)  on its face, that statement is without merit, though, of course, may be based on factless perception or bias.

john.
