Steve, all I can do is double down on my apology. Truth is, your post DOES highlight the problems of club owners and lounge managers trying to promote jazz in their clubs - it's just a reality, a sad, sad reality. BUT, for those of us that enjoy, value, and appreciate good jazz (in all it's forms), let's hope these good 'soldiers' keep fighting the good fight to keep the art form alive.

Chas thank you I appreciate the apology.... I probably wasn't as offended as I may have come across. I agree with you "let's hope these good 'soldiers' keep fighting the good fight to keep the art form alive."
Hi,
Too bad you weren't informed about the Clearwater Jazz Festival which showcased Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Trombone Shorty and Orleans Ave on Oct 14th. We go every year and have heard some great jazz (Chick Corea last year).

I guess it's what we call a day late and a dollar short. We had no idea that festival was taking place. Just discovered about a week ago from a magazine article that Chick Corea lives in Clearwater.
