[Dixielandjazz] The Nature of the DJML - Was Euro Jazz Chat List?

[Elazar Brandt]

Hey, Steve, I would post more about the vibrant OKOM scene in Israel, but you
might have to give me another 10 or 20 years until I can create one. We're doing
our best over here.

As for the whole being greater than the parts, our Doctor jazz group is still
trying to figure out why we are sounding so good as a group, when so many of our
players have no OKOM experience as individuals. We had another gig tonight, our
trio version of the group, and we drew some new fans from the other tables at
the restaurant where we were playing for a private party on their patio. We seem
to have found a nice groove in which the whole most definitely is sounding
better than the parts.
