For what it's worth, the use of the term "mainstream", I think, helps
musicians explain their music to customers..... Such as "we play
mainstream jazz", or, "we don't play mainstream music".  The customer
interprets the comment his own special way.

Dan Spink
asks another insipid question:
All this
about the term "mainstream" puzzles me. Is it important in jazz? Any jazz?
Is it different than the term we used in radio for more years than I can
remember, which is MOR; Middle Of the Road?
All the
best,
Dan (piano
fingers) Spink</blockquote>
