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

[Patrick Cooke]

Draw the line????  Why does there have to be a line?  Here we go again...the
classifiers, pigeon holers and the "knowledgeable" experts will all now come
out and give us their version of where "the lines" are drawn....Each of them
totally agreeing with each other....yeah, right.
       Of course, none of us discriminating jazz lovers want to admit to
liking something that was deemed to be something other than the "expert's"
idea of true jazz.
        A question:....If you really liked Artie Shaw, and the
"knowledgeable experts" all agreed that true jazz did not include Artie
Shaw, would you stop liking Artie Shaw, or just stop admitting that you like
him??

Try this for size:  "original, traditional jazz includes most jazz models
prior to the big band era".  I await the disagreement!  :)

(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

between
(traditional (OKOM)  and whatever else they now call jazz.For my own sanity.
