Foreplay (not traditional straight ahead jazz) sells 500,000 of each of their albums. You probably wouldn't expect to see Mp-3's of their music anywhere, either. And you're probably not "blown away" with their music (I am).

Russ, this young kid has Foreplay on his iPod

So true on the loyal small base of Jazz Fans. A number of years ago the late pianist James Williams was playing at the Knickbocker in Greenwich Village. At 11 PM my wife and I were 2 of the 8 people there taking in his show. Granted James was not one of the better know pianists but nevertheless, he played jazz.
