I'm 19  years old, from yorkshire and got into traditional jazz through
someone  giving me a bunch of louis armstrong 78s when i was a kid, 
 
    It's VERY nice to hear from a young  person who likes traditional jazz! 
 What has happened here in the USA is  that young people have not been 
brought into the magic circle of traditional  jazz ... therefore, as the older 
jazz lovers die, so will the popularity of the  art form.
 
    Traditional jazz will survive, but it  will likely never be BIG again.
 
    Try to get your mates interested in  jazz, too, please!
