Spoken like a True Jazzer:

Ain't success wonderful, so much so that once you have some money and 
notoriety you can actually play anything YOU want to with whomever you want to, and 
famous stars want to play with you that yesterday would not give you the time 
of day.

Perhaps if a few more of us "too cool" jazzers sold out a bit Jazz would 
still be popular in the manner in which we would like it to become accustomed 
again, or maybe NOT.

Better to keep strangling it to a slow gasping death and be cool, which will 
only turn you BLUE.

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

Takin' Jazz to the Bank, why? because most so called Real Jazzers don't 
really want the money.   Well folks if all that money makes you so miserable then 
by all means "SEND IT TO ME".
