Seems to me the vintage music recording industry is fairly 
healthy.  Despite what you think of the series, the PBS thing by Ken Burns 
a couple of years ago gave jazz, early and late, a tremendous shot in the 
arm.  Guys like Wynton Marsalis and David Berger also do a lot through 
Jazz@Lincoln Center.  There are so many titles on the market today around 
the world that you can't say OKOM is dying out.  Plus the swing band fad of 
the last couple of years among young adults; the tremendously healthy high 
school music and jazz programs in North America all help.

I'm pretty sure that OKOM will be available to me in record stores for the 
rest of my life.  After that, I'm taking my Ellingtons with me, provided I 
can find a plug for my CD player.

Seems to me the vintage music recording industry is fairly healthy.&nbsp;
Despite what you think of the series, the PBS thing by Ken Burns a couple
of years ago gave jazz, early and late, a tremendous shot in the
arm.&nbsp; Guys like Wynton Marsalis and David Berger also do a lot
through Jazz@Lincoln Center.&nbsp; There are so many titles on the market
today around the world that you can't say OKOM is dying out.&nbsp; Plus
the swing band fad of the last couple of years among young adults; the
tremendously healthy high school music and jazz programs in North America
all help.&nbsp; 
I'm pretty sure that OKOM will be available to me in record stores for
the rest of my life.&nbsp; After that, I'm taking my Ellingtons with me,

to live jazz events because the record industry is not putting out much
new in the way of jazz.&nbsp; Of course this could be wishful thinking on
my part but other changes in the past have had an effect on fans going
for live music versus staying home to listen.&nbsp; As long as people
like us push and promote jazz, it will surface in one form or
another.
