[Dixielandjazz] Re:WHERE DO WE DRAW THE OKOM LINE?

[DWSI at aol.com]

TO LISTMATES & OKOM LOVERS. We're  always complaining about "modern" jazz 
overshadowing our  beloved "traditional" jazz and I sing loudly in this chorus. 
But now I stop  and wonder: Where do we draw the line between them? By year? If 
so, what year?  By some artist? If so which one? For example, would you say 
traditional jazz  includes Artie Shaw, or Miles Davis, or Charlie Parker? I'd 
really like to know  where my knowledgeable friends would draw the line between 
traditional (OKOM)  and whatever else they now call jazz.For my own sanity.
