[Dixielandjazz] audience??

I would strongly disagree with Cees regarding the need for an audience for  
jazz performance.
One of my best memories was of the Tuesday nite jam sessions in the back  
room of a barbershop in Bangor, Maine. I drove icy roads for fifty miles to get  
there! The locals would drift in and out all night, There were only two rules- 
 No women (sorry female listmates-these were not politically correct times) 
and  no booze. But you could have a few before getting there-or sneak back out 
to  your car-
 
How about the loft cutting sessions in NYC that Steve attended? No good  jazz 
there?? Probably the best jazz that was never recorded.
