[Dixielandjazz] Banjos and Brass St Louis---Update

[Beth Schweitzer]

Thanks Ginny! Another great hope for the future.

I don't think Chloe's in danger of being totally corrupted - this seems
to be in her blood. And her two CDs show that she can really swing. 

I realize you were tongue-in-cheek with your statement about
contemporary jazz, but I look at the younger generation of our kind of
musicians and I see people like Bria Skonberg who plays a great trumpet
in many genres, and has beautiful vocals too. I think the fact that she
plays more than just OKOM might be what will eventually get more young
people exposed to our music. If they go to hear her play for her talent
and then catch some of this stuff, they might just get hooked. Same for
the other younger musicians coming on the scene. 

There are a lot of great musicians attending and teaching at Webster. We
are so lucky to have such a great jazz program here in our midst.

See you at the Christmas Party!

Beth

Hi Steve and All,
Wow is right. I did not know the Chloe was in grave danger due to being
a 
student at Webster University. I say that with a smile since Webster 
University has a great faculty for contemporary jazz. so now I will lose
sleep 
nights over whether Chloe becomes corrupted. You guys are playing well
and 
tight so perhaps you can prevent total corruption.

Since this discussion opened because of Chloe, let's bring up another 
youngster in a set with Lehr and Kaletsky, Adam Swanson, 16 at the time
of the 
video.
