Thanks for this thread, which is one solid reason why I feel so strongly about this little board continuing to chug along and make a contribution ... no matter how small it may be. Civil discourse on a subject about which we're passionate is a beautiful thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klX...

Cem says: [Vandermark] has earned the right to comment on how left of centre music is unjustly pushed further to the fringes, don't you think, Walter? Absolutely. I have nothing against the guy (I never met him, though I used to chat with his dad at gigs occasionally), and I think everybody...

That's players who I have seen and heard.

I'm not aware of some of those folks. Thanks.

In that case, 8 years ago… crazy, eh? I think we should arrange a big 'meet' soon, around some music and food, naturally. NO jazz fest would be the safe bet…
