  I can't quite understand that Steve. When I started listening as a young kid
  around the late forties and early 50's, it was the "old days" that I was enamored with, otherwise why would I have been listening to decades old jazz?
   
  Also, though I was not one of them, the college kids back then were also crazy about jazz from the "old days." 
   
  Another thing- my exposure to jazz originally was only from records not live venues; so that tells me the attraction was mainly aural and not visual. That is not
  to say I didn't enjoy live performances even more, later when I got a chance.
