[Dixielandjazz] Is Rap a New Jazz Genre?

[Steve Barbone]

Good thought Ron but then, isn't that what many said about ODJB, Tom Brown,
et al., jazz in the very beginning? Some likened it to "The braying of a
deranged jackass". Others also opined it was not music.

And thank you for supporting jazz. You are doing a wonderful thing and I
hope list mates realize that.

Cheers,
Steve
