[Dixielandjazz] Jazz is Dead?

[Stephen G Barbone]

It never ceases to amaze surfers like me who come upon some of the  
many jazz sites/programs that exist, how many there are. Here is an  
interesting one that includes over 70 FREE ADMISSION jazz concerts in  
February and March.

And it is located toward the end of Long Island,  80 miles East of New  
York City.

Maybe not OKOM, but surely an indication that Jazz in its many forms  
may even be growing.

Long Island Culture & Wine Winterfest  - Feb 13 through March 21 -  
"Jazz on the Vine"

http://www.liwinterfest.com/liwinterfest/calendar.html

What is really interesting about this series of events is that the  
eastern Long Island, during the winter, is the hind end of nowhere.  
Yet when surfing the site, one finds all sorts of corporate  
sponsorships, and concerts that are trying to draw audience. etc.

Cheers,
