[Dixielandjazz] RE: Hope for the future2

[Ittzés Tamás]

I am very glad to see that, according to Steve Barbone's experience, I was
mistaken when I wrote that maybe Hungary is the most promising country
regarding the future generation of jazz fans. However, I hope that we'll be
cathing up soon... :-)))

Hear hear. It's the same with Barbone Street here in Philadelphia USA.
Out of our yearly total of 160 gigs, we do more than 60 Dixieland gigs a
year strictly for "young" audiences, (21 to 35 years old.). Including 2
this month, for students at the University of Pennsylvania whose age
range is 18 to 25 years old. Nothing better for the ego than having an
under 30 year old come up to a 70 year old jazz muso and say "Man, you
guys are awesome." Or being wildly cheered by 200 people under 30 at a
club date.
