Having spent a month or so enjoying and absorbing the culture of the
DJML, I feel compelled to put in my 2 cents worth and tell you about
what's going on in this neck of the woods.  I was one of the volunteers
who helped start the Victorian Jazz Club 35 years ago and am at present
a committee member.  This region has at least a dozen bands playing OKOM
who are (IMHO), world class, not to mention many other unaffiliated
musicians very able in OKOM.  I have a 2 hour, weekly radio program
playing OKOM here in Melbourne and do my best to promote foot tapping
music as distinct from the head banging variety.  Members of the
Australia - wide family of appreciators of this kind of music are very
sophisticated and known to each other due to that wonderful institution
called The Australian Jazz Convention that happens in a different city
or town each Xmas/New Year week every year.  I'm happy to answer
questions and provide info. on  jazz activities for anyone coming to our
part of the world and can hearily recommend the trip as affordable and
safe.
