[Dixielandjazz] Big Band re-emerging?

[Trumpetom at aol.com]

A couple of Monday night big bands that I know of do not exactly get paid. 
The leader sells CDs for $15.00 (his cost $1.00 each). But he buys the music and 
equipment. The house keeps about half the cover charge. What little is left 
from the cover charge goes to the band members for gasoline money. The leader 
may slip a few dollars of his own to a few band members. Is it that way in 
other areas too? Does OKOM work like this also?
