Your definition applies to clubs that feature so-called "avant" or post-bop
where the band is too hip for the room, and even the most sophisticated
listener has no clue as to what he/she is really hearing. And they do pay a
lot of money to be seen attending this so-called "hipness." And the players,
because they think Coltrane is God, are willing to work for $40 a night for
their "religion."

Don, you said it all.  Stomp on!!
