[Dixielandjazz] Wanna keep OKOM alive ?

It is therefore up to us to get ourselves out there where we can be seen and heard.  Surprisingly many younger wanna be jazzers will then hear and possibly embrace OKOM.

You are SO right!  But 20 seconds of Wayne Shorter, for example, make
me suicidal.  Of course, one can turn the sound off.

That is a surprise!  Whenever I search for recordings on the web, I am
first redirected to CDbaby, only then - to other suppliers.
